I was reading through a portable compressor manual the other day
(Thomas compressor -- Renegade model -- view at Amazon) and noticed
something interesting in the WARNING section.
"WARNING: Before using any air tools or accessories, check
manufacturer's maximum pressure rating. Maximum pressure rating must
be above 135 psig." Also, this particular compressor starts up when
the tank pressure drops to 110 psig and stops at 135 psig.
I looked on my Senco brad nailer and it says on the case "use only
clean, dry, regulated compressed air -- 120 psig maximum".
According to the manual, am I not supposed to use this compressor with
my nailer?
Thanks.......

Like Eric says..add a pressure regulator to it if it's not already
included, there's other times when you'll want to lower pressure also.

An unkind remark is like a killing frost. No matter how much it warms
up later, the damage remains.
Add a regulator to your compressor to control the pressure as required by
your nailer.
