V. OPERATION
5.1- Intended use
This air compressor is intended for generating and supplying compressed air to pneumatic
power tools and tyres. This product is not suitable for inflating small-volume items or
continuous operation. This product is designed for private domestic use only, not for artisanal,
commercial, professional and/or industrial use.
NOTE: This compressor is intended for compressing atmospheric air only and strictly prohibit
from compressing any other gases.
5.2- Operation
Preparation for use
Before connecting the compressor to the mains, check the following points:
• Mains voltage is 220-240V ~ 50Hz.
• The power switch is in the OFF (lower) position.
• The pressure regulator should be set to its lowest setting, i.e. turned fully counterclockwise.
• If the machine has not been used for more than 24 hours, open the drainage screw (11) to
drain any accumulated condensate. After cleaning the condensed water, hand tighten the
drainage screw.
Starting the air compressor
• Make sure the air outlet pressure regulator (7) is closed.
• Make sure the drainage screw (11) is hand tightened.
• Turn on the compressor by setting the power switch to the ON (upper) position, refer to
clause 4.3 for details.
• When the air receiver tank is pressurized to its operating state, the compressor will
automatically shut down.
• Check all valves and regulators for leaks.
Connecting accessories and regulating pressure
• WARNING! Do not operate an accessory with pressure greater than the maximum rated
pressure of the accessory.
• Connect the accessory to the quick-lock coupling (5).
• Slowly open the outlet pressure regulator (7) until the pressure gauge (6) indicates minimum
pressure for the accessory.
• Fine adjustments to the air pressure until the accessory is working at its optimum
performance.
After use
• Turn off the compressor by pressing the power switch (8).
• Disconnect the accessory tool from the compressor, if necessary.
• Turn the regulator (7) counterclockwise all the way and allow the compressor to cool down.
• Release the residual air pressure in the tank by connecting and operation an air duster.
Overload protection
• The compressor is equipped with an overload switch (16). If the motor becomes too hot, the
overload switch will trip and the equipment will automatically shut down to protect the
compressor from overheating.
• If the overload switch has tripped, turn the power switch (8) to the OFF position and wait for
the compressor to cool before restarting.
