Special safety instructions

• Warning! The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms (with good ventilation and an ambient temperature from 0°C to +40°C).

• Do not perform any actions on the compressor without first having taken the plug out of the plug socket.

• Do not aim water jets or jets of flammable liquids at the compressor.

• Do not place flammable objects near the compressor.

• Switch the switch (3) to the “0” position (OFF) during dwell time.

• Never aim the air jet at persons or animals.

• N.B.: some parts of the compressor such as the head and the feed-through pipes may reach high temperatures. Do not touch these parts to avoid burns.

• Transport the compressor by lifting it or by using the special grips or handles.

• Children and animals should be kept far away from the area of operation of the machine.

• If you use the compressor to spray paint: a) Do not work in enclosed spaces or near naked flames. b) Make sure that the environment in which you will be working has dedicated ventilation. c) Protect your nose and mouth with a dedicated mask.

• 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. Safety instructions for working with compressed air guns

• The compressor and hoses can get very hot during operation. Touching them can cause burns.

• The gases or vapours sucked in by the compressor intake must be kept free of admixtures that could lead to fires or explosions inside the compressor.

• When removing the hose coupling, always hold the hose coupling firmly to avoid injury caused by the hose flying off .

• When working with the blow-out gun, wear goggles. Foreign bodies and blown out particles can easily cause injuries.

• Do not direct the blow-out gun at people or use it to clean clothing you are wearing. 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. Power supply

• The compressor is equipped with a mains cable with shock-proof plug. This can be connected to any 230V~/50Hz shock proof socket which is protected by a 16A fuse.

• Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up. Do not use cables longer than 10m. Ferm advises to use a longer air hose instead.6

• It can be more difficult to start-up the motor during conditions of temperatures below 0°C.

For household use only Connecting the device to an outlet. Fig A

• Open the black cover and take out the electricity cable (4), air hose (5) and required accessories from the storage compartment (1).

• Make sure the ON/OFF switch (3) is in the position ‘O’ (switch off).

• Connect the electricity cable (4) to an outlet. Before using he machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies with the specifications on the rating plate. Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start up. The appliance vibrates during operation. During operation, always put it down backwards on its rubber feet. On/Off switch (3) Fig A

• Move the ON/OFF switch (3) into the position ‘I’ to switch the appliance on.

• Move the ON/OFF switch (3) into the position ‘O’ to switch the appliance off. The appliance is not designed for continuous operation. To prevent the motor from overheating, the appliance may only be used as follows: Within a period of 10 minutes, the appliance may only be operated for 15% of the period so 1,5 minute. During the rest of the period (8.5 minutes) the appliance needs to cool down again. Connecting the air gun (6) Fig A + B

• Insert the connector (6e) of the air gun (6) into the quick coupler (5a) on the air hose. When pushing, the connector clicks into place to secure the air gun. Disconnecting the air gun (6) Fig A + B

• Pull back the sleeve on the quick coupler and remove the tool. When releasing the quick coupler, be sure to hold the coupling to protect yourself from injury from the rebounding hose. Using the air gun as blow-out pistol Fig A + B + C This way the air gun can be used for blowing air for several cleaning purposes and to clear hard- to-reach area’s. The trigger (6f) on the gun allows exact dosing of the air volume.

• Unscrew the hose (6c) from the air gun (6)

• Replace it by the extension nozzle (7). Using the air gun for inflating car tires Fig A + B This way the air gun can be used for inflating tires, inflatable beds etc.

• In case the hose (6c) is not assembled, connect it to the air gun (6) by screwing.

• Connect the air coupler (6d) directly to a air valve of the object to be inflated. To connect: press the clamp on the hose and push it onto the valve of the object.

• First check the pressure of the object:

• Read the pressure on the gauge (6b):

• Pressure too high: press the button on the left side to release air (6a).

• Pressure too low: press the trigger to fill the object till required pressure (6f).

• Check pressure by releasing the trigger and read the pressure gauge.

• Disconnect the tyre inflating gun.7

Make sure that the 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 is in the “0” position and the power plug is removed from the power socket Malfunction Should the machine fail to function correctly, a number of possible causes and the appropriate solutions are given below: The compressor will not start

• If the compressor is difficult to start, check:

• whether the voltage of the mains corre- sponds to that on the specification plate.

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