c) Protect your nose and mouth with a dedicated mask (fig. 21).

• Do not use the compressor when the electrical cable or the plug is damaged, and instruct an authorised Support Service to replace them with an original part.
• When the compressor is placed on a surface higher than the floor, it should be secured to prevent it from falling down during operation.
• Do not put objects or your hands in the protective covers to avoid physical damage and damage to the compressor.
• Do not use the compressor as a blunt instrument against persons, objects or animals in order to prevent serious damage.
• If the compressor is no longer in use, always take the plug out of the plug socket.
• Always make sure that compressed-air hoses are used for compressed air and which are characterised by a maximum pressure adjusted to that of the compressor. Do not try to repair the hose if it is damaged.

Electrical safety

Earthing regulations

This compressor has to be earthed while in use in order to protect the operator against electrical shocks. The compressor is provided with a two-core cable plus an earth. The electrical connection has to be made by a qualified technician. We recommend never disassembling the compressor and neither making any other connections into the pressure regulator. Repairs should be carried out by authorised Support Services or by other qualified centres.

Never forget that the earthing core is the green or the yellow/green wire. Never connect this green wire to a terminal under load.

Before replacing the plug of the feed, make sure that the earth cable is connected. If in doubt, please call in a qualified electrician and have the earthing checked.

Electrical connection

Always check whether the input voltage of the motor corresponds to the mains voltage indicated on the specification plate. The compressors are supplied with an electrical cable and a two-pole plug + earth. It is important to connect the compressor with an earthed plug socket. (fig. 9)

Never use the earth-wire instead of the neutral (0-wire). The earthing should take place in accordance with accident prevention regulations.

Power supply

• The motor is fitted with an overload switch (15). If the compressor overloads, the overload switch switches the equipment off automatically to protect the compressor from overheating. If the overload switch triggers, switch off the compressor using the ON/OFF switch (8) and wait until the compressor cools down. Then press the overload switch (15) and restart the compressor.

3. USE

For homehold use only

NB: The information you will find in this manual has been written to assist the operator in the use and maintenance of the compressor. Some illustrations in this manual show details which may differ from those of your compressor.

Installation

After having taken the compressor out of its packaging (fig. 1) and having checked that it is in perfect condition, and having noted that no damage occurred during transport, the following acts should be performed. If not yet fitted, fit the rubber feet and the wheels on the tank according to the instructions represented in fig. 2. Place the compressor on a flat surface or at a maximum slope of 10^ (fig.3), in a well ventilated area, protected against atmospheric factors and not in explosive surroundings. If the surface area is sloping and smooth, make sure that the

compressor will not move when in operation. If the surface area is a board or a shelf of a bookcase, just make sure that they cannot fall down by securing them properly. For proper ventilation and effective cooling, it is important that the compressor is positioned at least 100 cm from the wall (fig. 4).

Make sure that the compressor is transported in the right way, do not turn it upside down and don't lift it with hooks or ropes (fig. 5-6).

Installing the air filter.

Remove the transport lids and replace them with the supplied air filter before using the compressor

Starting up

• Check whether the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the electrical specification plate (fig. 10), the permitted tolerance range should be within 5%.
• Press the switch (3) situated on the upper part into the "0" position according to the pressure regulator type fitted on the device (fig. 11).
• Put the plug in the plug socket (fig. 9) and start the compressor up by putting the switch of the pressure regulator in the "I" position. The operation of the compressor is fully automatic. The pressure regulator will stop the compressor when the maximum value has been reached and start it up when the pressure drops below the minimum value. Normally the difference in pressure is approx. 2 Bar/29 psi between the maximum and the minimum value. For instance - The compressor will stop when it reaches 8 Bar (116 psi) (this is the maximum operating pressure) and will start up automatically when the pressure within the tank has dropped to 6 Bar (87 psi).

The head/cylinder/transmission pipe assembly may reach high temperatures, so take care when working close to these parts and do not touch them to avoid burns (fig. 12 - 13).

Adjusting the operating pressure

Fig. 14

It is not necessary continuously to use the maximum operating pressure, the compressed-air tools often require less pressure. With regard to compressors supplied with a pressure reduction valve it is necessary to set the operating pressure properly.

It is possible to set the operating pressure by using the turning knob on the reduction valve.

• By turning clockwise, the pressure will be increased.
• By turning anti-clockwise, the pressure will be reduced.

The compressor has two pressure gauges and two points to connect an air hose:

• Pressure gauge on the left (9): pressure on left outlet (7). The pressure of left this outlet can be regulated with help of the reduction valve (5).
  • Pressure gauge on the right (8): tank pressure + pressure on right outlet (6)

Hints for accurate adjustment of the pressure regulation:

• Turn the turning knob (5) anti-clockwise till pressure is fully released
• Connect the air tool you want to use to the left quick coupler (6)
• Activate the air too shortly, so the pressure gauge (7) will show the right pressure level
• Turn the turning knob (5) clockwise, till the pressure gauge (7) shows the pressure level you need
• Your air tool is now ready to use.

Note: when not connecting an air tool while adjusting the pressure, it might occur the pressure gauge (7) is not reacting accurately on the pressure drop

4. Maintenance

Make sure that the power plug is removed from the mains when carrying out maintenance work on the motor.

The machine has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper machine care and regular cleaning. Before interfering in any way whatsoever with the compressor, please make sure that:

• The switch button (3) is in the "0" position and the power plug is removed from the power socket
• The air tank is fully decompressed (both pressure gauges must be pointed at 0 Bar)

Malfunction

Should the machine fail to function correctly, a number of possible causes and the appropriate solutions are given below:

Air loss

• May be caused by a poor seal of a connection.

• Check all air connections by wetting them with a soapy water solution (Never use the solution nearby electric connections)
• When the tank is empty and being filled. The user might hear a sisseling sound by the pressure switch. This is normal and will stop before the compressor reach a pressure of 1.5 bar
  • Check if the drain valve (11) is closed well

The compressor will not start

• If the compressor is difficult to start, check:

• whether the voltage of the mains corresponds to that on the specification plate (fig. 10)
• whether electrical extension cables are being used with a faulty core or length.
• whether the operating environment is too cold (below 0°C).
• whether there is electricity supply (plug properly connected, magneto-thermal fuses not broken).

The compressor does not shut off

If the compressor does not shut off when the maximum pressure has been reached, the safety valve of the tank will be activated. It is necessary to contact the nearest authorised Support Service for the repair.

Repairs and servicing should only be carried out by a qualified technician or service firm.

Cleaning

Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.

If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc.

These solvents may damage the plastic parts.

Drain the tank

Compressing air will cause water in the tank.

Regularly drain the water from the tank to prevent

tank corrosion (fig 16):

• First reduce the pressure in the tank till approximately 2 bar by connecting and activating an air tool.
• Then slowly turn the drain valve (11) on the lower side of the tank open.
• The water in the tank will now leak out of the tank

Take care when compressed air is in the tank because the water can come out with some force. Recommended pressure max. 1-2 Bar.

Clean the air filter

It is recommended to disassemble the suction filter every 50 operating hours and to clean the filter element by blowing it with compressed air (fig. 15). It is recommended that the filter element is replaced at least once a year if the compressor is working in a clean environment; more often if the environment in which the compressor is situated is dusty.

Lubrication

It is recommended to disassemble the suction filter every 50 operating hours and to clean the filter element by blowing it with compressed air (fig. 15). It is recommended that the filter element is replaced at least once a year if the compressor is working in a clean environment; more often if the environment in which the compressor is situated is dusty. The compressor makes condensed water which collects in the tank.

It is necessary to remove the condensed water in the tank at least once a week by opening the drain cock (fig. 16) under the tank. Take care when compressed air is in the bottle because the water can come out with some force. Recommended pressure max. 1-2 Bar.

Faults

Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please contact the service address on the warranty card. In the back of this manual you find an exploded view showing the parts that can be ordered.
