Instruction manual for owner's use
(Translation of the original instructions)
Before using the compressor, read the instructions for use carefully and comply
with the following safety precautions. Consult this handbook if you have any
doubts regarding functioning.
Preserve all the documentation so that anyone who uses the compressor can
consult this beforehand.

1. SAFETY RULES

This symbol indicates warnings to be read before using the product so
as to prevent injury to the user.
Compressed air is a potentially dangerous form of energy; always take
great care when using the compressor and its accessories.
Warning: the compressor may restart when power is restored following
a blackout.
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m. corresponds to the ACOUSTIC POWER
value stated on the yellow label located on the compressor, minus 20 dB.
THINGS TO DO
• 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 af-
fected by dust, acids, vapors, explosive or flammable gases.
• Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters between the compres-
sor and the work area.
• Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor 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 with crosssec-
tion of at least 2,5 mm .

• The use of extension cables of different length and also of adapters and mul-
tiple sockets should be avoided.
• Always use the switch I/O to switch off the compressor.
• Always use the handle to move the compressor.
• When operating, the compressor must be placed on a stable, horizontal sur-
face.
THINGS NOT TO DO
• Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals or your body. (Always wear
safety goggles to protect your eyes against flying 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 ani-
mals 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 appli-
ance.
• Do not position flammable or nylon/fabric objects closed to and/or on the
compressor.
• Never clean the compressor with flammable 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 com-
pressor for any other type of gas.
• The compressed air produced by the compressor cannot not be used for phar-
maceutical, food or medical purposes except after particular treatments and
cannot be used to fill the air bottles of scuba divers.
• Pay attention to the work being carried out. Use your common sense. Do not
stand on the compressor. Do not allow the compressor to operate unattended.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
• All the compressors are fitted with a safety valve that is tripped in the case of
malfunctioning of the pressure switch in order to assure machine safety. 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 pres-
sure. 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 main-
tenance, see an Authorized Service Center.
• When fitting a tool, the flow of air in output must be switched off.
• When using compressed air, you must know and comply with the safety pre-
cautions to be adopted for each type of application (inflation, pneumatic tools,
painting, washing with water-based detergents only, etc.).
• 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.
• Do not cover the air inlets on the compressor.
• Do not open or tamper with any part of the compressor. Contact an authorized
Service Center.
• The compressor's performance is guaranteed for operation between 0 and
1000 meters above the sea level.
2. ASSEMBLY
You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for the first time.

3. START-UP AND USE
• Check for correspondence between the compressor plate data with the actual
specifications 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.
• At this point, the compressor is ready for use.
• Operating on the I/O switch, the compressor starts, pumping air into the re-
ceiver 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 pressure in the receiver can be checked on the gauge provided.
• The compressor continues to operate according to this automatic cycle until
the I/O switch is turned.
• Always wait at least 10 seconds from when the compressor has been switched
off before restarting this.
• All compressors are fitted with a pressure reducer (ref. 7). 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. 6).
• The set pressure can be taken from the quicklock coupling (ref. 5).
• Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working pressure
