Can I inflate a pool with an air compressor if...?

Question

so, long story short, the inflatable pool's intake hole is too big for a hand pump. on top of that, there are two chambers and the pool is 9' x 6', so no thanks.
it says not to use an air compressor because it could cause tearing. however, the nozzle for the air compressor is too small as well. could I still use the compressor since some air would escape, causing less tension?
if NOT, do you think i could use a nebulizer? a nebulizer is the breathing machine used in hospitals or for asthma patients. i used to have asthma as a kid, but i don't anymore. could i use that to fill it up? the hose will be too small for the hole too, but I could probably tape it together so the air didn't escape. I don't really know what to do.
we don't have one of those automatic pumps made for pools, or i'd use it. i can't buy one either.

Of course it says not to use a compressor.  Some windowlicker wasn't paying attention and overinflated until it popped.  You can do most of the inflating with a compressor, just stop early and finish it off.

Pat's idea is good, a shop vac would work.  You can use a compressor just be careful when it is about inflated so as not to put too much pressure in it.  I have seen tons of mattress/pool type pumps at goodwill and st. vinnies.  They are cheap.

Use the compressor as Jackrabbit suggests...or you can see if your blow dryer fits and set it on cool, rather than hot and use it. : )  Air mattresses use the blow dryer technique, so why not the pool?

Do you have a canister type vacuum cleaner? Use the exhaust port to blow up your pool.
