1. PRECAUTIONS
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m. corresponds
to the ACOUSTIC POWER value stated on the label
located on the compressor, minus 20 dB.
This symbol indicates warnings to be read
before using the product so as to prevent injury
to the user.
Warning!
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.
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 affected by dust, acids, vapors, explosive
or flammable gases.
● Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters
between the compressor 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 of suitable cross-section.
● The use of extension cables of different length and also
of adapters and multiple 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 surface.
NOT
THINGS
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 inexperienced 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 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 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
fill the air bottles of scuba divers.
● 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
as indicated on the technical dataplate (for example,
S3 25 % means 2.5 minutes ON, 7.5 minutes OFF). In the
case of overheating, the thermal cutout 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.
● 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 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.
● 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 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 precautions to be adopted for each type of
