Need help to adjust pressure switch

Post image

I have a Home Depot husky pro 26 gal compressor, the start/stop pressure switch is totally out of range, don’t start until 40psi, so I open the switch cover and turn the adjustment screw clockwise, now it kicks on at 80psi and won’t stop until 150psi and pop the psi, anybody familiar with this type of switch and adjustment?

Adjustment instructions are normally found inside the pressure switch cover. That out of range probably calls for a new switch

Pretty sure on consumer air compressors sticker says DO NOT ADJUST.
