Vertically Angled Tanks for Your Comfort
Other air compressors can cause discomfort because they lack balance, and their exposed motor and components make them difficult to carry. But the CET3-10 is comfortable to use, because it features vertically angled tanks that are ergonomically balanced. And because this compressor stays close to your body, it provides a natural center of gravity. Additionally, the roll cage and recessed, easy-access control panel protect you from exposure to the regulator, gauges, coupler, and drain valve.
Compact Size for Enhanced Portability
Unlike large wheeled compressors that hold the majority of their weight in front, the CET3-10 is balanced, measuring 17.0 x 16.25 x 16.0 inches (WxHxL) and weighing 57.3 pounds. It's compact, lightweight, and even enough for effortless movement around the jobsite.
EZ Drain System for Fast, Efficient Draining
To ensure that the tanks drain properly, and to prevent a decrease in compression that can cause a decrease in productivity and performance, the CET3-10 boasts Bosch's "EZ Drain" system. First, the tanks are slightly angled to allow water to collect at their bottoms. Second, the drain system is connected to both tanks to allow for easier draining. Finally, with pressure in the tanks, you can simultaneously drain them both by turning the ball valve located in the control panel.
Recessed Control Panel and Roll Cage Protect Components from Damage
Many air compressors have exposed components that are unprotected from harsh jobsite conditions--but not the CET3-10. This compressor has a recessed control panel that fully protects the regulator, gauges, coupler, and drain valve. Additionally, a roll cage shields the pump, motor, tanks, safety-relief valve, and all internal components. The result is less downtime and more productivity.
Safety-Relief Valve, Air Filter, and Dipstick for Additional Protection
In addition to its protective design, the CET3-10 features a safety-relief valve to prevent failures by relieving pressure from the system when compressed air reaches a predetermined level. And to prevent dirt and debris from compromising performance or durability, an air filter cleans the air coming into the pump. Additionally, an oil dipstick lets you know exactly how much oil is left in the tank, so it's always clear when it's time to refuel.
Powerful and Quiet Induction Motor
The CET3-10 owes its robust performance to a four-pole induction motor, which provides a dBa of 72 for quiet operation, keeping you free of distraction when you're working close to the compressor.
Additionally, a contractor-grade, oil-lubed pump ensures durability and extends tool life. The CET3-10 comes with an industry-leading, two-year pump warranty.
Straightforward, User-Friendly Operation
The CET3-10 has an easy-to-read tank pressure gauge that lets you know the amount of pressure available, as well as a regulator that allows you to easily set the right level for driving nails. Additionally, two couplers are located on the tool's front for fast, uncomplicated hose attachment. For added convenience, the CET3-10 requires just 14 seconds of recovery time.
