Product Review

Senco 1 gallon finish & trim air compressor is designed with the professional contractor in mind: compact, lightweight hand carry, sturdy, powerful, oil-free, 102 second pump up time, 27 second recovery time, low maintenance and warrantied. Our compressor truly makes hard work easier. The PC1010N is lightweight at just 21 lbs. (9.53 kg), and its compact design measuring 14x13x10 ensures easy portability to any jobsite. The gauges on our control panel are easy to read and the integrated control panel is designed for easy access and straightforward operation. In addition, the PC1010N features an ultra-quiet 68 dBA noise level of operation – A standard Garbage Disposal is louder – and a rugged, rust-resistant, aluminum design. Every contractor and DIY enthusiast will agree this is an ideal “finish and D6 trim unit” for finish trim nailer, pin nailer and more – especially since its ¼” coupler is a universal design. That makes it compatible with a variety of air tools from all of the top manufacturers. The long life induction motor and oil free pump eliminate the need for oil and regular maintenance. Its direct drive pump/motor offer efficient operation. There are numerous safety features included in the design of the PC1010N. For example, the motor/pressure switch has a pressure release valve that automatically releases compressed air from the air compressor pump head and its discharge line when the air compressor reaches cut-out pressure or is shut off - allowing the motor to restart freely. Also, the motor has a protective Breaker on the pump which trips if there is an excessive Amperage draw - protecting both the operator and the motor itself. The air intake filter doesn't need to be replaced; It is reusable and should always be clean with its ventilation opening free from obstructions. It can be cleaned by using warm, soapy water and then rinsed and set out to air dry. Further, there is a safety relief valve designed to prevent system failures by relieving pressure from the system when the compressed air reaches a predetermined level. Having been preset by the manufacturer, it should not be modified in any way. Additionally, the air tank drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank after the compressor is shut off. Never attempt to open the drain valve when more than 10 PSI of air pressure is in the tank. To open the drain valve, turn the knob counterclockwise then tilt the tank to ensure that all condensation drains through the valve. Additional features can be seen in detail in the user manual, included in the packaging. The power cord included with this unit is 6 feet long. If additional length/distance is needed, Senco recommends using one of our 50’ or 100’ proFlex or push on ¼” air hoses – available on Amazon – instead of an extension cord. If use of an extension cord is unavoidable, it should be plugged into a GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. If use of an extension cord is unavoidable, refer to our operating manual and observe the recommended cable Length and wire Gauge listed. Additionally, use only 3-blade extension cords that have 3-blade grounding-type plugs and 3-slot cord connectors that will accept the plug from the PC1010N. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product.
