NTENDED uSE
This compressor has been designed for DIY use with intermit-
tent (not continuous) operation. The use of the compressor for
more than 20 min. during one hour is not recommended.

Open the carton box and lift the compressor.
Take care to metal staples, always wear protective gloves.
Make sure that all parts indicated on carton box are included,
further complaint will not be accepted.

The compressor should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock. The compressor is equipped with a
three-core cable and three-pin grounding type plug to fit the pro-
per grounding type socket.
The socket of the power cord is located on the right side of the
compressor, connect the power cable supplied (see Fig. A1).
u
SE oF ExTENSIoN cabLE
Use only three-way extension cables that have three-pin con-
necting plugs and three-pole sockets that accept the compressor
plug.
Do not use extension cables that are damaged or squashed. An
under-rated cable will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating.
The table shows the correct size to use depending on the length

WARNING: avoid electrical shock hazard. Never use this com-
pressor with a damaged or frayed electrical cord or extension
cord. Inspect all electrical cords regularly.
Never use in or near water or in any environment where electric
shocks are possible.

This product is a modular unit that can be composed, as well as
from the compressor (A), even from a base on wheels (B) and one
or more tool boxes (C).
The different components can be used together or separately,
as long as they're equipped with quick clip (see.fig.D)
Position the compressor on a flat surface or one with a max.
inclination of 10° in a well-ventilated area.
If the surface is sloping and smooth, make sure that the com-
pressor does not move while in operation.
If the compressor operates on a shelf or the edge of a stand,
ensure that it may not fall off by securing it appropriately.

Ensure that the switch (1) is turned to "0". Put the plug into the
power socket and turn the switch to "I".
Attach the rubber hose or the spiral type hose to the quick cou-
pling (6).
The compressor operates completely automatically and is con-
trolled by the pressure switch which stops it when the pressure
inside the tank reaches the maximum pressure and starts it again
when the pressure returns to the minimum level. The difference in
pressure is usually 2 bar (29 PSI).
After having connnected the compressor to the electrical power
supply line, load to the maximum pressure and check the correct
efficiency of the machine.

DjuSTINg ThE woRKINg PRESSuRE
It is not always necessary to use the maximum working pressu-
re. On the contrary, a pneumatic tool usually requires less pres-
sure.
Adjust the pressure to the required level by turning the knob (4
-fig.A2) clockwise to increase it and anti-clockwise to decrease it.
The pressure setting is shown on the pressure gauge (2)

Before servicing the compressor, make sure that:
the power cable is unplugged from the electricity supply,
there is no pressure in the air receiver (check gauge 3 - fig.A2).
The compressor generates condensation that accumulates in
the tank. The condensate must be drained from the tank at least
once a week by opening the condensate drain valve (5 - fig.A2),
and tilting the compressor forward to make out the liquid.

Loss of air
This may be due to the poor seal of one of the fittings.
Check all the fittings by wetting them with soapy water. It is
normal for the pressure to drop when the compressor is not used,
whatever the case (roughly 1 bar every 5 minutes).
The compressor fails to start
If the compressor has difficulty in starting, make sure that:
- all the wires are correctly connected.
- the mains voltage is efficient (plug connected correctly, ma-
gneto-thermal switch, fuses unblown).
The compressor fails to stop
If the compressor fails to stop when the maximum pressure is
reached, the tank safety valve will cut in.
It is necessary to contact your local authorised service centre.

Note: the sound pressure level measured in a free range at a
distance of 4 mt. dB(A) at the maximum working pressure. The va-
lue of the sound level may increase from 1 to 10 dB(A) depending
on the environment in which the compressor is installed.

Make sure that pneumatic tubes for compressed air with maxi-
mum pressure characteristics that are adequate for the compres-
sor are used. Do not attempt to repair faulty tubes.
NOTE: Specifications are subject to change without any prior
warning where necessary.
waRNINg
Do not drill, weld or intentionally deform the compressed air
tank.
Ambient temperature for correct operation of the compressor is
between +5°C and +25°C (max.+45°C).
When temporarily not in use, turn the switch to "0" (OFF).
Be aware that some components of the compressor such as the
head and delivery hoses, may reach high temperatures, therefore
do not touch them to avoid the risk of burning.
Transport the compressor by lifting it with the appropriate grips
or handles.
If the compressor is used for painting:
a) do not work in an enclosed area or near naked flame
b) ensure that the area in which you are working has adequate
ventilation
c) protect nose and mouth with an appropriate mask
Do not direct airstream at people or animals to avoid serious
injuries.
Always unplug the compressor from the power socket when you
have finished using it.
