Frequently Asked Questions - FBT-5100U Full Boar

How do I assemble the wheels and feet on the FBT-5100U compressor?
Lay the compressor on its side. Insert an axle bolt through a wheel, add a flat washer, then insert through the wheel bracket. From inside, add a flat washer, spring washer, and nut (17mm). Clip on the wheel cap. Repeat for the second wheel. For the feet, insert a bolt through a foot, add washer, then through the front bracket. Secure with a nut (14mm). Repeat for the other foot.
What type of oil should I use and how much?
Use SAE 5W40 or equivalent (e.g., L-DAB-46-A). Fill approximately 230 ml (0.23 L) until the oil level reaches the middle of the red circle in the oil sight glass. Do not mix different oils.
How do I adjust the output pressure on the compressor?
Turn down the locking collar, then rotate the pressure regulating knob clockwise to increase pressure or counter-clockwise to decrease. Lock the collar against the knob. Air must be flowing through the regulated outlet for an accurate reading on the gauge.
What is the tank pressure setting and how does the automatic start/stop work?
The tank pressure is factory-set to switch on at 8 bar and off at 10 bar. When pressure drops to 8 bar due to tool use, the motor restarts automatically until 10 bar is reached.
How do I safely drain the condensation from the tank?
Depressurize the tank first, then open the drainage screw at the bottom of the tank by turning it counter-clockwise. Let the water drain, then retighten the screw before next use. Drain daily to prevent corrosion.
How do I clean the intake air filter?
Unscrew the plastic cover, remove the filter, and gently tap or blow it with low-pressure compressed air (approx. 3 bar). Reassemble in reverse order. Clean every 300 hours of service.
What should I do if the overload switch trips?
Turn off the compressor using the ON/OFF switch, wait for the motor to cool down, then press the overload switch to reset and restart the compressor.
Can I use an extension cord with this compressor?
It is not recommended. Use additional air hose instead to avoid voltage drop and motor damage. If you must use an extension cord, use a heavy-duty one suitable for 1800 W and keep it as short as possible.
How do I check the safety valve?
Pressurize the tank close to maximum (10 bar), then pull the ring on the safety valve outward. Air should discharge. Release the ring; discharge should stop. If it does not work, do not use the compressor. Check daily.
What is the warranty period and what does it cover?
The product has a 12-month warranty from the original purchase date for DIY (domestic) use only. It covers manufacturing defects but not normal wear, misuse, or damage from failure to follow instructions. Consumable parts are excluded. Return to place of purchase with receipt.

Full Boar FBT-5100U - Using an Extension Lead - 1

WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "Power Tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS (cont.)

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Full Boar FBT-5100U - AIR COMPRESSOR SAFETY WARNINGS - 2

WARNING! Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance.

  • To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, never spray flammable liquids in a confined area. It is normal for the compressor motor and pressure switch to produce sparks during use. If sparks come into contact with petrol vapours or solvents, they may ignite the vapours and cause a fire or explosion.
  • Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where sparks or flames are present. Keep the compressor as far away from the spray area as possible.
  • The solvents trichloroethane and methylene chloride can chemically react with the aluminium used in some paint spray guns and form an explosion. If these solvents are used, ensure that only stainless steel spray equipment is connected. The compressor is not affected by the use of these solvents.
  • Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a compressor and do not use it for charging breathing tanks.
  • Do not use welding equipment in close proximity to the compressor. Do not weld anything to the air tank of the compressor: this could dangerously weaken the tank and will void the warranty.
  • Do not use the compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface; either situation could cause an electric shock.
  • Always shut off the compressor after use and before servicing. Push the on/off knob down, wait for the pressurised air to bleed from the tank from the release valve and then remove the electrical plug from the power supply.
  • Check the maximum pressure rating of any tools or accessories that you intend using with the compressor. The output pressure of the air from the compressor must be regulated so that it never exceeds the rated pressure of the tool or accessory.
  • To avoid the risk of burns and injury from moving parts, do not operate the compressor with the safety shield removed. Allow hot parts to cool before handling or servicing.

AIR COMPRESSOR SAFETY WARNINGS (cont.)

  • Be certain to read all the labels on the containers of paint or other materials to be sprayed. Closely follow all safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance that you might otherwise inhale the spray material. Carefully check the effectiveness of any respirator mask you intend using.
  • Do not attempt to adjust the pressure switch or the release valve located under the pressure switch cover.
  • Drain the moisture from the tank daily. It will help prevent corrosion.
  • Pull the ring on the safety valve daily to ensure that it is operating properly and to clear any possible derbis.
  • Keep the compressor at least 300mm from the nearest wall to ensure adequate ventilation for cooling purposes.
  • Before transporting the compressor make sure that the pressurised air is bled from the tank and that the compressor is firmly secured.
  • Protect the air hose and cordset from damage. Inspect for weak or worn spots regularly and replace if necessary.
  • Avoid using an extension cord with this product. Use additional air hose instead of an extension cord to prevent power loss and possible damage to the motor.
    • After long working periods external metal parts could be hot.
  • After using the compressor, switch off the on/off button, disconnect the power supply and open the outlet valve to release the pressure.
  • Never attempt to remove any part of the compressor whilst the tank is under pressure.

Wear eye and ear protection

Never apply the outlet air of this compressor directly on to any part of a person's body.

Do not attempt to block the air outlet with your finger or any part of your body.

The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.

Full Boar FBT-5100U - Wear eye and ear protection - 1

WARNING! In the event that an air line is cut or broken, the air supply must be turned off at the compressor. A broken air line which is not supported is extremely dangerous and can whip around very quickly, both with the capability of striking people, and blowing foreign particles into the air.

Do not attempt to catch the air line but immediately keep bystanders well clear and turn off the air supply to the hose, turn off the compressor at the On / Off button, and then remove the hose from the compressor.

PRE-SETUP CHECKS

  • Examine the machine for signs of transit damage. If damaged, do not use, return to place of purchase

IMPORTANT! Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down. Risk of burns!

Checking the safety valve

  1. Ensure that you check that the safety valve (11) is in working order every day that the unit is in operation. To check the valve, first pressurise the tank to close to maximum pressure (Fig. 31).

  2. Hold the ring on the safety valve (11) and pull it outwards. Air should discharge from the valve (Fig. 32).

  3. When the ring on the safety valve (11) is released the air discharge should stop (Fig. 33).

IMPORTANT! Always depressurise the tank before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance work.

Cleaning

  • Keep the 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.
  • Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and some soft soap. 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.

Removing condensed water

The condensed water must be drained off each day by opening the drainage screw (12), at the bottom of the tank.

The drainage screw can be opened by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction (Fig. 34). Be sure to re-tighten the drainage screw before the next use of the compressor.

Cleaning the air filter

The intake air filter (1) prevents dust and dirt being drawn in. It is essential to clean this filter after at least every 300 hours of service. A clogged air filter will decrease the compressor's performance dramatically.

  1. Remove the filter from the compressor by unscrewing the screw on the plastic cover (Fig. 35).
  2. Lift off the plastic cover and remove the intake air filter beneath (Fig. 36).
  3. Carefully clean the filter by tapping or blowing it with low pressure compressed air (approx. 3 bar). To assemble, proceed in reverse order.

MAINTENANCE (cont.)

Changing the oil

Recommended lubricating oil: SAE 5W/40 or an alternative of the same quality.

The compressor should be refilled for the first time after 100 hours of operation. Thereafter the oil should be drained and refilled after every 500 hours in service.

  1. Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out of the socket. Depressurise the tank.

  2. Unscrew the oil drainage screw (16) from the compressor pump (Fig. 37).

  3. To prevent the oil from running out in an uncontrolled manner, hold a small metal chute under the opening and collect the oil in a vessel (Fig. 38). If the oil does not drain out completely, we recommend tilting the compressor slightly.

  4. When the oil has drained out, re-fit the oil drainage screw (16).

  5. Remove the oil sealing plug (15) and pour the new oil through the oil filler opening until it reaches the mid point of the red circle in the oil level window (18) (Fig. 39). The compressor should take approximately 230ml of oil.

  6. Replace the oil sealing plug (15).
