An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m. corresponds to the ACOUSTIC POWER value stated on the label located on the compressor, minus 20 dB.

● The compressor must be used in a suitable environment (well ventilated with an ambient temperature of between +5°C and +40°C) and never in places affected by dust, acids, vapours, explosive or ammable gases. ● Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters between the compressor and the work area. ● Any coloring of the shroud of the compressor (for models envisaging this) during painting operations indicates that the distance is too short. ● Insert the plug of the electric cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying with current regulations. ● Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and of suitable cross-section. ● The use of extension cables of different length and also of adapters and multiple sockets should be avoided. ● If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard. ● Always use the switch I/O to switch off the compressor. ● Always use the handle to move the compressor. ● Always disconnect power cord and air hose from the air compressor before transporting. ● When operating, the compressor must be placed on a stable, horizontal surface.

● Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals or your body. (Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes against ying objects that may be lifted by the jet of air). ● Never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected to the compressor towards the compressor. ● Never use the appliance with bare feet or wet hands or feet. ● Never pull the power cable to disconnect the plug from the socket or to move the compressor. ● Never leave the appliance exposed to adverse weather conditions. ● Never transport the compressor with the receiver under pressure. ● Do not weld or machine the receiver. In the case of faults or rusting, replace the entire receiver. ● Never allow inexpert persons to use the compressor. Keep children and animals at a distance from the work area. ● This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. ● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. ● Do not position ammable or Nylon®/fabric objects closed to and/ or on the compressor. ● Never clean the compressor with ammable liquids or solvents. Check that you have unplugged the compressor and clean with a damp cloth only. ● The compressor must be used only for air compression. Do not use the compressor for any other type of gas. ● The compressed air produced by the compressor cannot not be used for pharmaceutical, food or medical purposes except after particular treatments and cannot be used to ll the air bottles of scuba divers. ● To avoid serious burns, never touch the cylinder head parts or tubing during or immediately after operation. ● Pay attention to the work being carried out. Use common sense. Do not stand on the compressor. Do not allow the compressor to operate unattended.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

● To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor is designed for intermittent operation (do not operate on more than a 50% duty cycle. If this air compressor pumps air more than 50% of one hour, then the compressor’s capability is less than the air delivery required by the application. Always match the air volume requirements of the attachment or accessory with the air volume delivery of the compressor). In the case of overheating, the thermal cut-out of the motor trips, automatically cutting off the power when the temperature is too high. The motor restarts automatically when normal temperature conditions are restored. ● The compressor is equipped with a solenoid valve that allows air to be vented from the head, so as to facilitate the next restart of the compressor. Therefore, it is normal to feel vented air for a few seconds, when the compressor reaches the cut-off pressure (set by the manufacturer during the testing phase). The same phenomenon occurs even when the compressor is switched off. ● After switching off the compressor, you must wait three seconds before switching on the machine again. ● When the compressor is plugged into an electrical source and the I/O switch is in the “ON” position, this compressor will cycle automatically. – Never touch any moving parts. – Keep all body parts, hair, clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts. – Never operate the air compressor without all guards and shrouds in place. – Never stand on the compressor. ● The compressor is tted with a safety valve that is tripped in the case of malfunctioning of the pressure switch in order to assure machine safety. ● The red notch on the pressure gauge refers to the maximum operating pressure of the tank. It does not refer to the adjusted pressure. ● When tting a tool, the ow of air in output must be switched off. ● When using compressed air, you must know and comply with the safety precautions to be adopted for each type of application (ination, pneumatic tools, painting, washing with water-based detergents only, etc.). ● Never exceed the maximum allowable pressure recommended by the manufacturer of any attachment or accessory you use with this compressor. ● Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working pressure of the pneumatic tool and connection pipes (with the compressor) to be used, are compatible with the pressure set on the pressure regulator and with the amount of air supplied by the compressor. ● The compressor's performance is guaranteed for operation between 0 and 1000 meters above the sea level.

2. FEATURES (Pic. 1)

A. I/O Switch (ON/OFF): The I/O switch is the activation mechanism that is used to start and stop the compressor. When the switch is “On”, the motor and pump will compress air until tank pressure reaches the upper limit of the factory set operating pressure. When tank pressure falls below the factory set “cut in” pressure, the compressor will again automatically start to compress air. B. Regulated Pressure Gauge: The regulated pressure gauge indicates the amount of pressure that is allowed into the discharge line according to the setting of the regulator. C. Regulator Knob: The regulator knob is used to adjust the air pressure that is available at the discharge line. The discharge air pressure is increased by turning the knob clockwise and decreased by turning the knob counter clockwise. D. Drain Valve: Ball style valve that drains moisture from the tank when opened. E. Quick Coupler: The quick coupler is used to connect the airline to your tool. F. Safety valve: The safety valve is set to avoid over-pressurization of the air tanks. This valve is factory pre-set and will not function unless tank pressure reaches this pressure. Do not attempt to adjust or eliminate this safety device. Any adjustments to this valve could cause serious injury. If this device requires service or maintenance, see an Authorized Service Center. G. Handle for lifting/moving. H. Rubber foot.

J. Pressure gauge: It indicates the tank pressure. K. Pressure vessel. L. Power cable.

The compressor is designed for generating compressed air for tools operated by compressed air. Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes. The machine is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user/operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.

4. ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The compressor is equipped with a mains cable with shock-proof plug. Insert the plug of the electric cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying with current regulations. Before you use the machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies with the specications on the rating plate. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is not in the I (ON) position. Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up. In the case of low temperatures below +5°C, motor start-up is jeopardized as a result of stiffness.

5. PRE-START PROCEDURES

● Examine the machine for signs of transport damage. Report any damage immediately to the company which delivered the compressor. ● Verify that the tanks have been drained and are clear of any moisture or dirt. ● The compressor should be set up near the working consumer. ● Avoid long air lines and long supply lines (extensions). ● Make sure the intake air is dry and dust-free. ● Do not set up the compressor in damp or wet rooms. ● The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms (with good ventilation and an ambient temperature from +5°C to +40°C). There must be no dust, acids, vapours, explosive gases or inammable gases in the room. ● The compressor is designed to be used in dry rooms. It is prohibited to use the compressor in areas where work is conducted with sprayed water.

5.1 Fitting the air lter (if not already assembled)

Remove the transportation stop with a screwdriver or similar and screw the air lter (ref. I) securely to the equipment (Fig. 2a-2b). If supplied, insert the suction tube inside the lter cover (Fig. 2c).

6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

● Check for correspondence between the compressor plate data with the actual specications of the electrical system. A variation of ± 10% with respect of the rated value is allowed. ● Insert the plug of the power cable in a suitable socket checking that the I/O switch located on the compressor is in the OFF «O» position (Fig. 4). ● At this point, the compressor is ready for use. ● Operating on the I/O switch, the compressor starts, pumping air into the receiver through the delivery pipe. ● When the upper calibration value (set by the manufacturer) has been reached, the compressor stops. When air is used, the compressor restarts automatically when the lower calibration value is reached (2 bar between upper and lower). ● The compressor continues to operate according to this automatic cycle until the I/O switch is turned (Fig. 4). ● Always wait at least 10 seconds from when the compressor has been switched off before restarting this. ● The compressor is tted with a pressure reducer (ref. C). Operating on the knob with the tap open (turning it in a clockwise direction to increase the pressure and in a counterclockwise direction to reduce it), air pressure can be regulated so as to optimize use of pneumatic tools. ● The value set can be checked on the gauge (ref. B). ● The set pressure can be taken from the quicklock coupling (ref. E). ● Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working pressure of the pneumatic tool to be used are compatible with the pressure set on the pressure regulator and with the amount of air supplied by the compressor. ● Always pull out the plug and drain the receiver once you have completed your work.

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Warning! Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance work on the appliance. Warning! Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down. Risk of burns! Warning! Always depressurize the tank before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance work.

● Keep the safety devices free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure. ● We recommend that you clean the appliance immediately after you use it. ● Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in the appliance. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the appliance. ● You must disconnect the hose and any spraying tools from the compressor before cleaning. Do not clean the compressor with water, solvents or the like.

The condensation water must be drained off each day by opening the drain valve (ref. D) (on the bottom of the pressure vessel) (g. 3).

1. Verify that the compressor is turned Off.

2. Holding the handle, tilt the compressor toward the drain valve so

that it’s set in a lower position.

3. Open gently the drain valve.

4. Keep the compressor tilted until all moisture has been removed.

Warning! Dispose of the condensation water in an environmentally compatible manner at the appropriate collection point.

7.3 Safety valve (ref. F)

The safety valve has been set for the highest permitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is prohibited to adjust the safety valve. Actuate the safety valve from time to time to ensure that it works when required. Turn the nut until it is completely loose. Then pull the nut with sufcient force until you can hear the compressed air being released (Fig. 5). Then release the nut, and screw it back on. Always keep the safety valve and the surrounding area clean and free of obstructions.

Warning! Disconnect the plug from the socket, vent the appliance and tools connected to it and empty the condensate. Switch off the compressor and make sure that it is secured in such a way that it cannot be started up again by any unauthorized person. Warning! Store the compressor only in a dry location which is not accessible to unauthorized persons. Always store upright, never tilted!
