FUNCTION

- To avoid overheating the electric motor the compressor runs intermittently (must not be used for more than 25% of function cycle). If the compressor pumps air for more than 25% of an hour the capacity of the compressor will be less than the pumping required by the application. Always adjust the air flow needed by the accessory or connection to the amount of air delivered by the compressor. The overheating protection on the motor trips in the event of overheating and automatically switches off the power. The motor restarts automatically when the temperature returns to normal.

- When the compressor is connected to a power source and the switch is in the ON position the compressor automatically runs this cycle.

• Do not touch moving parts.
• Keep your body, hair, clothing and jewellery away from moving parts.
• Do not use the compressor without all the guards and casing in place.
• Do not stand on the compressor.

- The compressor has a safety valve to guarantee the safe use of the machine if there is a fault on the switch.

- The red line on the pressure gauge indicates the maximum operating pressure of the tank. This does not apply to the set pressure.

- When connecting a compressed air tool to a compressed air pipe from the compressor, it is absolutely essential to cut the flow of air from the compressed air pipe.

- When using compressed air for different applications (pumping air, pneumatic tools, spray painting, cleaning with water-based detergent, etc.) the user must respect and be familiar with the applicable safety regulations for each application.

- Do not exceed the maximum pressure recommended by the manufacturer for connections or accessories used with this compressor.

- Check that the air consumption and maximum operating pressure for the tool and connecting tube (with compressor) correspond with the setting on the pressure regulator and with the performance of the compressor.

Always wear ear protection.

The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured by a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 1012:2010.

WARNING!

The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start-up time).

FIG. 1

SWITCH

The switch is the mechanism that starts and stops the compressor. When the switch is in the ON position the air is compressed until the pressure in the tank reaches the limiting value for the default operating pressure and the compressor switches off. The compressor restarts automatically when the pressure drops below the default value for pressure release.

PRESSURE GAUGE

The pressure gauge indicates the pressure in the outlet according to the setting on the control dial.

CONTROL DIAL

The control dial is used to adjust the pressure in the outlet. The pressure in the outlet increases by turning the dial clockwise, and is reduced by turning it anticlockwise.

EMPTYING VALVE

Ball valve that drains moisture from the tank when open.

QUICK-COUPLING

Simple connection between air hose and tool.

SAFETY VALVE

The safety valve is by default set to avoid over-pressure in the air tank. The value must not be adjusted or removed, this can result in serious damage. The safety valve must only be serviced and repaired by an authorised service centre.

TELESCOPIC HANDLE

Press the release button to pull out and push in the telescopic handle. The handle clicks in place in both positions.
