Low current can cause extensive damage to the compressor motor.

If extension cords are absolutely necessary, refer to your Operators Manual for the proper extension cord lengths and proper wire gauges.
There is a significant current drop in long extension cords. If at all possible, do not use extension cords. Check the power at the outlet, compressors require a 120V / 15Amp unloaded circuit to function properly.
This often means that there is not enough power getting to the motor to start it. My compressor only hums when it is turned on it will not start. The compressor tanks and hoses should be drained several times per day in these conditions. The water vapors that made it all the way to the air tool will freeze in the head valves and cause sluggish cycling. During the downtime for the air tools, the water will pool in the low areas of the hose and freeze, causing severe air flow restrictions that will choke the tools. The result is excessive condensation inside the hoses that is carried on through the hose and settles in the air tools. This hot air is then pumped through hundreds of feet of very cold hose to reach the tools. Cold air is drawn in through a very hot pump and heated. Cold temperatures are the most difficult. With humidity, the moist air passes through the pump, and the water will slowly collect at the bottom of the tanks. The severity of the water buildup can vary greatly depending upon working conditions specifically high humidity or cold temperatures. Water in the compressor tanks and hoses is a result of natural condensation that can then form into pools.
