    Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'll need to get a decent extension cord for my unit. I was almost going to use the one I use for my lawnmower. Thanks to your video, I now know that would not have been a good choice due to insufficient gauge of the wire. Thank you.

  • @dfinma
    @dfinma Před 8 měsíci +10

    Good point about the extension cord. Also it's better to use no extension cord, or as short as possible. It's best to plug it in to a wall socket and use a longer air hose if needed. (I find it's preferrable to keep it away from you so the noise is less bothersome.)

    Don't forget to register your compressor with Ridgid online. I just bought one of these at Home Depot for $129, 140 out the door (Alabama tax). I was really impressed with how easy Ridgid's registration is. This is my first tool from them (DeWalt guy) and I'm really impressed.

    I am a year late to the " Rigid doesn't care owners manual" party. I've had some bad manuals but wow, this is right up there. Just wanted to say thanks for the video it was extremely useful and I learned quite a bit. Rigid should just pay you for this video and post it to thier website and add royalty fees to you.😂

    don't know if the rules translate but I used to be a commercial diver (deal with bottles and compressors a lot) and the rule of thought was to always leave a little pressure in the tank. that helps prevent corrosion and prolong bottle life

Should the machine cut off at or around 150 psi or should I cut it off manually and then adjust it to the pressure I want to use? Also is there a recommended prouder for an air gun attachment? Thanks again sir 🫡
