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.

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 in experienced 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 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.

• The compressor’s performance is guaranteed for operation between 0 and 1000 meters above the sea level.

4. SCOPE OF USE

The compressor is designed for generating compressed air for tools operated by compressed air.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

The machine is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user/ operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.

5. POINTS TO NOTE WHEN SETTING UP THE COMPRESSOR

• Examine the machine for signs of transit damage. Report any damage immediately to the company which delivered the compressor.
• The compressor should be set up near the working consumer.
• Avoid long air lines and long supply lines (extensions).
• Make sure the intake air is dry and dust-free.
• Do not set up the compressor in damp or wet rooms.
• The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms (with good ventilation and an ambient temperature from +5°C to +40°C). There must be no dust, acids, vapors, explosive gases or inflammable gases in the room.
• The compressor is designed to be used in dry rooms. It is prohibited to use the compressor in areas where work is conducted with sprayed water.

6. STARTING

6.1 Voltage

The compressor is equipped with a mains cable with shock-proof plug. Insert the plug of the electric cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying with current regulations. Before you use the machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies with the specifications on the rating plate. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is not in the I ( ON ) position. Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up. In the case of low temperatures below +5°C, motor start-up is jeopardized as a result of stiffness.

6.1.1 Connection of the mains plug (electrical information for the BS plug)

Important!

The wires in the mains lead fitted to this product are coloured in accordance with the code shown in fig. 4.

• The 3 pin plug must comply to BS1363/A.
• Fuse must comply to BS1362.

If for any reason the 13 amp plug fitted to this product requires replacement it must be wired in accordance with the following instruction:

Do not connect the brown (live) or blue (neutral) to the earth pin marked ‘E’ on the 3 pin plug.

Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked Neutral (N). Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked Live (L). Connect the Yellow & Green wire to the terminal marked Earth (E). Ensure that the outer insulation is gripped by the cord grip and that the wires are not trapped when replacing the plug cover. The mains lead on this product is fitted with a 13 amp (BS1363/A) plug. A 13 amp (BS1362) fuse must be fitted in the plug.

If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this product except those referred to in the manual. Always refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Never remove any part of the casing unless qualified to do so; this unit contains dangerous voltages.

Warning!
For your protection if this product is to be used outdoors it should not be exposed to rain or used in damp locations. Do not place the product on damp surfaces, use a workbench if available. For added protection use a suitable residual current device (R.C.D.) at the socket outlet.

Note: If the mains cable requires replacing it must be replaced with an identical one and fitted by a qualified person.

6.2 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 receiver 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 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.
• The compressor is 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 quick lock coupling (ref. 5).
• Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working pressure of the pneumatic tool to be used are compatible with the pressure set on the pressure regulator and with the amount of air supplied by the compressor.
• Always pull out the plug and drain the receiver once you have completed your work.
