ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTES FOR AIR COMPRESSORS

Warning : Before connecting the compressor to the electric power (main switch on machine, socket, etc.), make sure the power supply corresponds with the data on the model plate. A higher mains voltage can cause serious injuries and damage the machine. Do not connect the machine in case of doubt. If the mains voltage is too low, the motor can get damaged. Always pull the power supply plug before doing any maintenance or adjustment work, including changing the oil.

Never try to remove a part from the compressor while it is pressurized.
Never try to remove an electrical part while the compressor is connected to the mains supply. Switch the machine off and pull the power supply plug.
Do not adjust the safety valve.
Do not use an electrical extension cable.
If the drain plug underneath the switch cover (2) does not work while the ON/OFF switch is depressed, switch the power supply off and try to find the cause for the defect.
Make sure the lubrication oil is clean and the oil level remains in the centre of the red circle on the oil sight glass (16).
Be careful when you vent the tank (from the safety valve, the drain plug, or the air escape). Compressed air can be extremely dangerous. Make sure the air current does not whirl up any dust, stones or other foreign bodies. Be also sure that the air does escape in a safe way.
In order to reduce the risk of fire or explosions, never spray inflammable fluids in an enclosed room. It is normal that sparks escape from the motor during operation. When these sparks get in touch with gasoline vapors or inflammable liquids, they can ignite and cause fire or explosions.
Always operate the compressor in a well vented room. Do not smoke during spraying. Do not spray in the presence of sparks or flames. Keep the compressor as far as possible away from the spraying place. The liquids trichlorethane and methylenchloride can cause a chemical reaction with aluminium that is used in some paint spray cartridges and can cause an explosion. If these liquids are used, make sure the spraying is only done with spraying bins made of stainless steel. The compressor is not impaired by these liquids.
Never inhale directly the compressed air produced by the compressor. Do not u compress air for filling breathing tanks.
Do not use any welding equipment near the compressor. Do not weld anything to the air tank of the compressor: This could dangerously weaken the tank and would render the warranty invalid.
Do not work with the compressor in the open air while it is raining, or on a wet base. Any of these situations could cause an electric shock.
Always switch off the compressor after use and before doing any maintenance work. Press the ON/OFF button and wait until the compressed air has escaped from the tank via the drain valve. Then pull the power supply plug.
Check the maximum admissible pressure of all devices used with the compressor. The output pressure on the compressor must be set in such a way that it never exceeds the prescribed pressure of devices or accessories.
In order to reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, never operate the compressor without the guard fitted. Let hot components cool down before touching them.
Read all labels and notes on the paint tank or on other spray materials. Carefully observe all safety instructions. Wear a breathing mask when there is a risk of inhaling spray materials. Carefully check the function of the breathing mask before putting it on.
Always wear goggles when handling the compressor. Never direct the nozzle of an accessory towards your body or towards another person.
Do not try to adjust the pressure switch or the drain valve underneath the pressure switch cover.
Remove daily the liquid from the tank in order to avoid corrosion.
Pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure it works well.
Keep the compressor at least 300 mm away from the wall in order to ensure sufficient venting for the cooling.
Before you transport the compressor, drain the compressed air from the tank and secure the machine safely.
Protect the air hose and the cable set from damage. Regularly examine the components for weak and worn spots, and replace them in case of need.
Do not use an extension cable for this product. Use instead an additional air hose in order to avoid a drop in power and a possible motor damage. The use of an extension cable makes the warranty invalid .
After a long period of work, the outer metal parts can get hot.
Press the ON/OFF switch to switch off the compressor. Only then cut the mains supply or pull the power supply plug.

USE AND OPERATION

Handle
The compressor handle is to be assembled as follows:

Wheels

When mounting the wheels (12), begin by placing a wheel bolt with a washer through the wheel. Then insert a washer and a hex head nut.
Slide the wheel through the clip under the tank.
Then fasten it with a disc, and a nut, and tighten them together.
Repeat this process for the second wheel.

Rubber Bumpers
Secure the rubber bumpers on the bracket on the front side of the tank. Use the enclosed screws, washers, and nuts.

Oil

Warning: It is imperative that you check the oil level before using the machine for the first time! Operation of the machine without oil will cause irreparable damage and invalidate the guarantee

Remove the plastic oil filler plug located in the crank box of the Compressor housing.
Fill the crankcase with oil, until the oil level in the oil-level indicator (10) reaches the centre of the circular marking.
Close the opening using the sealing plug (14) included in the delivery.

Air filter

Warning : Both air filters must be mounted before the first use. Operation without air filters damages the compressor and the warranty will lapse. Both air filters (15) are screwed in and tightened at the top of the cylinder heads.

PUTTING INTO OPERATICON

Warning:
It is absolutely necessary to check the oil fill level before the first use!

Make sure the place of setting up is clean, dry, and well vented.
Make sure the crank bOx İs filled with oil, and the air filters are fitted.
Start the compressor as described in the chapter “Switching on and off the compressor”. At switching on for the first time, let the compressor run for ten minutes at no load with the drain valve open, so that all the parts get well lubricated.

Warning : As compressed air comes off the output, the output may not be directed towards the operator or people in the vicinity. The air coming off the exit may not be inhaled. Daily check the pressure control valve.

Switching on and off the compressor

Check the model plate on the compressor: 230-240 V (or 110-120 V).
Plug the compressor cable into a standard sOcket (240 V or 120 V and switch the compressor on.
For switching the compressor on, liff the ON/OFF switch (3) on the presSure switch cOver (2).
For switching the compressor off, depress the ON/OFF switch.

Operation

The pressure in the tank is controlled by the pressure switch under the pressure switch cover (2). When the maximum pressure set is reached, the pressure switch is activated and the motor switch off. The pressure is reduced as the air is consumed by the connected tool, until the minimum pressure set is reached. Then the pressure switch re-engages the motor. The operator at the compressor should take care that the motor engages and disengages dictated by the influence of the increasing and decreasing pressure in the tank. The motor engages without any previous warning.
The maximum and minimum pressure has been set in the works. These settings may not be altered.
All accessories were connected to the adjustable drain valve (6).
As shown on the adjustable output pressure gauge (4), the pressure of the adjustable exit can be altered by turning the adjustable button (5).
Attention: I order to read the correct output at the output gauge, air must flow through the outpJil. The adjustable valve must be set and the pressure gauge read with the valve open, while the air flows from the output set through the accessory. In order to increase the air pressure, turn the valve clockwise. In order to reduce the air pressure, turn the valve anti- clockwise.
Attention : The absence of air flow during setting produces an incorrect display. For a correct display, air must flow.
Upon termination of your work, or when you leave the compressor
unattended, switch it off as follows:
Press the ON/OFF switch (3).
Wait until the compressed air has escaped via the drain valve under the switch cover (2).
Attention : On pressing the button you should hear a short air exit (about half a second).
Switch the machine off and pull the mains plug.
Pull the ring on the safety valve (8) in order to make sure that the compressed air has escaped from the tank, or open the drain plug of the tank in order to let the pressure escape.

MAINTENANCE
