Do not trust the regulator gauge to deliver an exact pressure, especially 8 pounds for a basketball or less for kids toys and pool toys.
You should be able to dial your pressure down to be safe and get used to the amounts of air it can deliver.
I have a safety blow gun that directs a good portion of air to the side , with a ball needle attached that is a lot safer for even toys like beach balls that pop real easy.
Get a good hand held pressure gauge to test and give short burst of air from the compressor. Especialy even with bike tires and riding mower tires.
