Frequently Asked Questions - TC-PW 340 EINHELL

What type of oil does the Einhell TC-PW 340 compressor require?

The TC-PW 340 is an oil-free compressor, meaning it does not require any oil for operation. This reduces maintenance and eliminates the risk of oil contamination in the air.

How do I adjust the pressure on the TC-PW 340?

Use the pressure regulator knob located on the front panel. Turn clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease. Monitor the output gauge to set the desired pressure, typically between 0 and 8 bar.

What is the maximum pressure of the Einhell TC-PW 340?

The maximum pressure is 8 bar (116 psi). The safety valve is set to prevent over pressurization.

How often should I drain the tank?

You should drain the tank after each use or at least daily to remove moisture. This prevents rust and extends the compressor's life. Drain using the valve at the bottom of the tank.

Does the TC-PW 340 come with a hose?

The compressor includes a quick coupling outlet but typically does not include a hose. You can purchase a compatible hose separately for your needs.

Can I use the compressor for inflating tires?

Yes, the TC-PW 340 is suitable for inflating tires, balls, and other inflatables. Use the appropriate inflation nozzle (sold separately) and set the pressure to the required level.

What is the noise level of this compressor?

The noise level is approximately 97 dB(A), which is typical for oil-free compressors. Hearing protection is recommended when operating nearby.

How do I clean the air filter?

Remove the air filter cover (usually snaps off), take out the foam element, and wash it with warm soapy water. Let it dry completely before reinstalling. Replace if damaged.

What size tank does the TC-PW 340 have?

The tank holds 6 liters of compressed air. This is suitable for light tasks like inflating, stapling, or small spray painting.

Where can I find spare parts or repair service?

Contact Einhell customer service or an authorized service center. Parts like the pressure switch, safety valve, and filter are commonly available. Check the manual for part numbers.

5.1 Lubricating the tool

Each time before starting and during prolonged operation:

• Insert 3-5 drops of special compressed air oil into the compressed air connection (5) (not included in delivery)
• Let the equipment run briefly so that any surplus oil is blown out.

5.2. Inserting/removing a tool (Fig. 1)

Fit the required drive socket insert by pushing onto the square drive mount (3).

Remove the drive socket insert by pulling it off the square drive mount (3).

6. Operation

6.1 Connecting to a compressed air supply

• Connect the nipple (5) to the quick-lock coupling of a compressed air hose (the hose is not supplied).
• Note the maximum permissible operating pressure of the equipment.

6.2 Rotational direction switch/ torque switch (Fig. 4)

You can select counter-clockwise or clockwise rotation and the torque using the rotational direction switch (2).

1 - Low torque
2 - Medium torque
3 – High torque

Important!

To avoid gear damage, make sure that the tool has come to a complete stop before you change the direction of rotation.

6.3 Working with the impact driver

Loosening:

- Set the direction of rotational direction switch (2) to counter-clockwise.

• Mount a drive socket insert on the impact driver (see point 5.2).
- Place the impact driver on the screw/nut and press the trigger lever (1).
- If the screws/nuts are very tight or if they are rusted, use a tire wrench or torque wrench to slightly loosen them.

Tightening:

• Warning! Use the impact driver only for loosening screws/nuts. If you want to use the impact driver to tighten screws and nuts, you must also use a torque limiter which is designed for this purpose. If not, the screw connection may be damaged. The torque limiter is available from your dealer. It is not included in the scope of this delivery.
• Prior to tightening, carefully insert the screw/nut into the threads.
• It is important that screws/nuts with special torque specifications (for example provided by the vehicle manufacturer in the automotive sector) are tightened only with a suitable torque limiter.

Danger!

Screws/nuts must be fi nish-tightened with a torque wrench which is set to the torque speci-fi ed by the manufacturer and then they must be checked!
