Proper use

The compressor is designed to generate compressed air for compressed air-driven tools.
The equipment 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.
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.

Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the power supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the supply voltage.
Check the damaged equipment that may have occurred in transit. Report any damage immediately to the transport company which was used to deliver the compressor.
Install the compressor in the vicinity of the point of consumption.
Avoid long airlines and supply lines (extension cables).
Make sure that the intake air is dry and dust-free.
Do not install the compressor in a damp room.
The compressor may be used only 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.
Operate the equipment only on a firm, level surface.
Use flexible hoses to prevent transmitting unacceptable loads to the pipeline system at the connection between the compressor system and the pipeline system.
It is essential to use separators, traps, and drains which process the liquids produced by the compressor before the compressor system is put into operation.
Supply hoses at pressures above 7 bar should be equipped with a safety cable (e.g. a wire rope).

Assembly and start-up

Important!

You must fully assemble the equipment before using it for the first time.

Fitting the wheels (3)

Fit the supplied wheels (3) as shown in Figure 5.

Fitting the supporting feet (4)

Fit the supplied supporting feet (4) as shown in Figure 6.

Fitting the transport handle (9)

Screw the transport handle (9) to the compressor as shown in figures 7 to 8.

Fitting the air filter (1)

Use a screwdriver to remove the transportation cover from the air filter connection. Screw in the supplied air filter (Fig. 9).

Mains connection

The motor is fitted with an overload switch (Fig. 3/Item 15). If the compressor overloads, the overload switch will switch off the equipment automatically to protect the compressor from overheating.
If the overload switch triggers, switch off the compressor using the ON/OFF switch (8) and wait until the compressor cools down. Then press the overload switch (15) and restart the compressor.
Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels, etc. cause a voltage drop and can impede motor start-up.
At low temperatures below +5° C, sluggishness may make starting difficult or impossible.

On/Oﬀ switch (8)

To switch on the compressor, pull out the On/Oﬀ switch (8).
To switch oﬀ the compressor, press the On/Oﬀ switch (8) again. (Fig. 2)

Adjusting the pressure:(Fig. 1.2)

You can adjust the pressure on the pressure gauge (6) using the pressure regulator (7).
The set pressure can be taken from the quick-lock coupling (5).

Setting the pressure switch

The pressure switch is set at the factory. Cut-in pressure approx. 6 bar Cut-out pressure approx. 8 bar.

Replacing the power cable

Danger!

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance, and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

Disconnect the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance work!

Warning!

Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down. Risk of burns!

Warning!

Always depressurize the tank before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance work.

Warning!

After use, always switch oﬀ the equipment immediately and pull out the power plug.

Cleaning

Keep all safety devices, air vents, and motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment.
Ensure that no water can seep into the device.
The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
You must disconnect the hose and any spraying tools from the compressor before cleaning.
Do not clean the compressor with water, solvents, or the like.

Condensed water (Fig. 1)

Important! To ensure a long service life of the pressure vessel (2), drain oﬀ the condensed water by opening the drainage cock (11) each time after use.
Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust and damage each time before using. Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel. If you discover any damage, please contact the customer service workshop.

Safety valve (10)

The safety valve has been set for the highest per-mitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is prohibited to adjust the safety valve or remove its seal. Actuate the safety valve from time to time to ensure that it works when required.
To do so, open the screw cap of the valve while the tank is under pressure. Once the screw cap has been fully opened you must pull it to let air escape through the valve. Then screw the cap fully back in place.

Cleaning the intake ﬁlter (1)

The intake ﬁlter prevents dust and dirt from being drawn in. It is essential to clean this ﬁlter after at least every 300 hours in service. A clogged intake ﬁlter will decrease the compressor‘s performance dramatically.
Open the halves of the air ﬁ lter housing. Use compressed air at low pressure (approx. 3 bar) to blow out all the parts of the ﬁ lter and then assemble the ﬁ lter in reverse order.
When cleaning, take adequate precautions against dust (e.g. use a suitable face mask).

Storage

Warning!

Pull the mains plug out of the socket and ventilate the appliance and all connected pneumatic tools. Switch the compressor and make sure that it is secured in such a way that it cannot be started up again by any unauthorized person.

Warning!

Store the compressor only in a dry location that is not accessible to unauthorized persons. Always store upright, never tilted!

Transport

Transport the equipment only by carrying it by the transport handle.
Protect the equipment against unexpected knocks and vibrations.
