• You are responsible for the safety of the working zone.
• If the cable or the plug is damaged due to external influences, the cable must not be repaired but must be replaced with a new one. This work can only be carried out by an electrician.
• The voltage of 230 V AC indicated on the nameplate of the device must match the existing mains voltage.
• Never lift, transport, or suspend the device by its power cord.
• Make sure that the electrical plug connection is protected from flood and moisture.
• Before any maintenance work or adjustment, pull out the plug.
• The user is responsible for complying with local safety and mounting regulations. Ask an electrician if you have questions.
• In case of device failure, repairs can only be carried out by an electrician.

Notes!

• Choose the right compressor with the appropriate air volume and air pressure to match the actual work requirements.
• Never expose the device to dust, acid, steam, explosive or flammable gases, or weather influences (rain, sun, fog, snow).
• The vacuum pump can only be operated in an appropriate environment (good ventilation, ambient temperature +5 ℃–+40 ℃).
• Never use the compressor barefoot or with wet hands or feet.
• Never allow children to touch the switched-on compressor or to insert the plug. It may cause burns or electric shocks.
• Do not open or damage any part of the compressor. If necessary, contact a qualified person.
• By opening the drain valve, the water can be evacuated. Always release the water before not using the compressor for a long time. Store the compressor in a well-ventilated place.
• Always wear protective goggles. Under no circumstances should you direct the airflow towards your body or other persons’ bodies or animals.
• Never use the compressor in areas with vapors or humidity or near bodies of water.
• Switch off the compressor if you do not use it. Disconnect from mains before you repair, recondition, maintain, clean, or replace parts. Never use the power cable as a handle. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, or sharp edges. Protect it from breaking. Do not pull out the plug by pulling the power cable.
• If the compressor is used outdoors, only approved extensions may be used. Every wire of the extension cable must have at least a 1,5 mm² cross-section.
• Store the compressor in a well-ventilated place. Do not allow children or any other people not able to handle this device to play or work with it.
• Be very careful when working with the compressor. Do not perform work with this product when being unalert or influenced by alcohol, drugs, or medicine.
• When beginning work, make sure that all screws are tightened.
• Do not use the compressor if it is damaged. If the compressor makes unusual noises and strong vibrations or if other unusual signs occur that indicate some damage, immediately turn off the compressor. Do not modify the compressor in any way. Only have repairs made by qualified persons and using original spare parts.

Technical specifications

User notes

• The compressor has a 9.51 mm (⅛″) outlet with external thread which can be effortlessly changed to ¼″. The matching adapter is not included in the delivery.
• When the compressor is connected by the hose to the airbrush gun, it can be connected to the mains and switched on.
• The maximum pressure is displayed on the pressure gauge, the operating pressure can be adjusted by the pressure regulator.

Leakage check

• Switch on the compressor and wait until the maximum pressure has built up and the auto-stop function has been activated.
• If there is no leakage, the pressure gauge should display nearly constantly the same range of pressure.
• A quick decrease of the range of pressure suggests that there is in fact a leakage.
• It is of great importance to seal any leak as soon as possible to avoid any impact on the capacity and efficiency of the compressor.
• Leakage leads to the auto-stop and auto-start constantly being switched on and off.

Difference between the maximum pressure and operating pressure

• The maximum pressure is the highest possible pressure that a compressor can generate.
• The maximum pressure is the pressure measured only inside the compressor itself.
• Once the maximum pressure has been reached, the compressor switches off (auto-stop), and as soon as the pressure starts to decrease, it switches on again (auto-start).
• On the outlet of the compressor, there is lower pressure. What remains is the pressure that you work with. The operating pressure may vary according to the connected airbrush gun.
