- My Bostitch pancake compressor was blowing the safety release at about 155 psi. I read online that the pressure switch was not adjustable, so I purchased a new one. Here's how to adjust the cut in and cut out pressure. Note: The cut in and cut out pressures are not individually adjustable, the band of about 50 PSI is adjustable up and down.

If you need a new valve, here is the link.

Here we are three years later and your video is still saving people time and money! I had the exact same problem as you did, and it was solved exactly as you mentioned. I'm glad your video popped up first on the list when I typed in Bostitch compressor pressure. If anybody is wondering how to remove the cover, there are seven (7) phillips head screws and two (2) 8mm (5/16) bolts that need to be removed from the covers, and then one phillips head screw to remove the adjustment cover ( The on'/off knob comes off with the cover). I found another youtube video that gives instructions on removing the cover if you need it ( czcams.com/video/HvKefX0m9s8/video.html ). Thanks again Chris - this video hit the nail on the head!
Thanks for posting this information.
Well you just saved me some cash, LOL. Just adjusted mine and that did the trick. Thanks
It would have been great i have showed how to remove the cap.
Mine does not reach 150 maybe 100 then blows air out
Need help on index 2 cables around coil diagram
Thanks, exactly what i needed :)
Any idea what the recommended cut out pressure should be?
I just purchased one of these and the regulator knob will not turn either way. Any idea why?
Sorry I have been thinking about this situation, but I have no idea. I assume you purchased it used (otherwise you would return it to the store). I think some people never actually move the regulator knob, so it may just be stuck a little from low or no use. Were you able to wiggle, force it free? If not, I believe you can replace the regulator too for like $10-20. Sounds like a great CZcams video opportunity :).
Video doesn't play
how'd you get the "cap" off. I don't understand how it is fastened and don't want to destroy it.
Small set screw and it comes off
Mine had a rubber plug covering the screw hole.
*After years of hauling around a large,💫 **allabout.wiki/BOSTITCH** heavy, loud dewalt air compressor (that ironically was advertised as quiet, supposedly 78dB), I bought this. Facepalm. While it is not ‘silent’, I find myself chuckling every time I use it, sparing all my neighbors the terror of my former compressor. I use for inflating tires, impact wrench, finish nailers. Absolutely love it. And I store it under the garage sink in a 24” cabinet. I paired with a coil 1/2”, instead of a my former 50’ 5/8” hose that I had to lug across the yard from the shed, unpleasantly uncoil.... this little guy is light and portable; just a joy. Impact wrench is still capable of easing lug bolts, flywheel bolts, crank pulleys... just allow for a tiny bit of recovery now and then.*
