Proper use

The compressor is designed to generate compressed air for compressed-air driven tools which can be driv-en with an air volume of up to approx. 133 l/min (e. g. tire inflator, blow-out pistol and paint spray gun). Due to the limited air output it is not possible to use the com-pressor to drive tools with very high air consumption (for example orbital sanders, die grinders and hammer screwdrivers). The compressor may only be operated in a dry and well ventilated indoor space. The machine may only be used in the intended manner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator, not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or inju-ries of any type resulting from this. Please observe that our equipment was not designed with the intention of use for commercial or industrial purposes. We assume no guarantee if the equipment is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for equivalent work.

General safety information

WARNING! Read all safety information, instructions, il-lustrations and technical data for this electric tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-erence. The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with a mains cable) and battery-powered electrical tools (without a mains cable).

Work area safety

•  Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
•  Do not operate power tools in explosive at-mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•  Keep children and bystanders away while op-erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

•  Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•  Avoid body contact with earthed or ground-ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.a
•  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
•  Do not use the cable for another purpose, for example, carrying or hanging the power tool or pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving device parts. Damaged or coiled cables in-crease the risk f an electric shock.
•  If you work with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are also suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock. Only use approved and appropriately identified ex-tension cables for use outdoors. Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.
•  If operating a power tool in a damp loca-tion is unavoidable, use a residual current circuit breaker with a trigger current of 30 mA or less to protect the power supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

•  Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or med-ication. A moment of carelessness when using electrical tools can result in serious injuries.

•  Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce per-sonal injuries.

•  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
  Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

•  Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating de-vice part may result in injuries.

•  Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unex-pected situations.

•  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.Rubber gloves and anti-slip footwear are recom-mended when working outdoors.Tie long hair back in a hair net.

•  If dust extraction and collection devices can be mounted, make sure that they are connect-ed and used properly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

•  Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

• d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
  Unused power tools should be stored in a dry, el-evated or closed location out of the reach of chil-dren.

• e. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check whether moving parts function properly and do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric tool function. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

•  Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for op-erations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

•  Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Service

•  Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Maintaining the pressure vessel (fig. 1) Attention!
To ensure a long service life for the pressure vessel (8), drain off the condensate after each use by opening the drain screw (6). Release the vessel pressure beforehand (see 12.6.1). Open the drain screw (6) by turning it counterclock-wise (when looking at the screw from the bottom of the compressor) so that the condensate can be completely drained out of the pressure vessel (8). Then close the drain screw (6) again (turn it clockwise). Check the pressure vessel (8) for rust and damage each time before use. Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel (8). If you discover damage, please contact the customer service workshop.

Safety valve (fig. 7)
The safety valve (9) has been set for the highest per-mitted pressure of the pressure vessel (8). It is not permitted to adjust the safety valve (9) or remove the connection lock (9b) between the exhaust nut (9a) and its cap (9c). Actuate the safety valve (9) every 30 oper-ating hours but at least 3 times a year to ensure that it works when required. Turn the perforated exhaust nut (9a) counterclockwise to open it and use your hands to pull the valve rod out- wards over the perforated exhaust nut (9a) to open the outlet of the safety valve (9). Now, the valve audibly releases air. Then, tighten the exhaust nut (9a) clock-wise again.

Cleaning the air filter (fig. 8, 9)
The air filter (4) prevents dust and dirt being sucked in. It is essential to clean this air filter (4) after at least every 300 hours in service. A blocked air filter (4) sig-nificantly reduces the compressor power. Turn the air filter (4) counterclockwise to remove it. Open the filter cover (4c) and remove it. You can now take out the filter element (4b). Carefully tap out the fil-ter element (4b), the filter cover (4c) and the filter hous-ing (4a). These components must then be blown out with compressed air (approx. 3 bar) and reassembled in reverse order.
