PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

• Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
• The term “power tool” in the safety warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORKING AREA

• Keep the working area clean and well-lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an 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 when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.
• Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you retain control over the\ power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts..
• If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

SERVICE
Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standar ds.

• Inflating and deflating low-pressure items like air mattresses, rafts and floats.
• Do not use on high-pressure tyres such as those used on commercial vehicles, or agricultural or specialist vehicles.

POWER SWITCH
Use the trigger on the Air Pump unit.

DIGITAL GAUGE (SEE FIGURE 6)

• The digital gauge is multi-functional serving as a pressure gauge, monitoring the amount of pressure being applied to the item being inflated; pressure is indicated by PSI.
• Press the mode button to turn on the digital gauge.
  NOTE : Make sure the digital gauge is set at 0 before use

NOTE : After the preset pressure has been set, the pressure setting stays in the gauge memory for 180 seconds. To recall the previous pressure setting for up to 180 seconds after inflation, Press the + or – button. To reset pressure, press and hold the mode button.

• Position the air chuck clamp in the unlock position perpendicular to the high-pressure air hose.
• Place air chuck on the valve stem.
• Push air chuck down so that the threaded section of the valve stem is inside the air chuck.
• Clamp the end of the air chuck down onto the valve stem by pressing the air chuck clamp down until it stops or is parallel with the high-pressure air hose.

NOTE : The pressure readout on the gauge while inflating is a measurement of the fluctuating pressure between the item and the high-pressure hose. To get an accurate reading, stop inflating and follow the above instructions for reading the air pressure.

AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
The digital gauge will remain on for up to five minutes. To manually shut off, press and hold the mode button until the light turns off then release the button.

INFLATING WITH THE AIR HOSE AND ACCESSORIES
The air hose can be used with the provided adaptors to inflate a variety of items.

• Select the appropriate adapter and screw it into the valve connector
• The adapter for sports balls and the adaptor for air mattresses and rafts are clipped onto the rear of the Tyre inflator.
• Insert the connector adapter into the appropriate inlet of the inflatable.
• Plug the 20V DC plug into the vehicle’s 20V socket.

ACCESSORIES

The supplied accessories perform a variety of functions, The tapered adaptor can be used on smaller pinch valves to inflate items like floats and children’s toys, which usually require the user to inflate them by blowing air into them. The sport needle can be used to inflate any type of sports ball or any other item that requires an inflation sport ball needle.
NOTE : When inflating items of 10PSI or less, inflate in short bursts and check after each burst by feel or with the calibrated measuring device to determine accurate pressure.

FILL THE FILLING CONTAINER

• The filling of the tank begins. The pressure switch is set at the factory to a pressure of 8 bar. As soon as this pressure value is generated by the compressor (maximum pressure), the pressure switch interrupts the power supply and the compressor drive unit stops pumping air into the tank. When the pressure of 8 bar is reached and the voltage is disconnected, the remaining air is evacuated from the head and the filling line through the cable connected to the contactor. During the air intake (working with accessories) and thus emptying the tank to the factory-set minimum (approx. 5.5 bar), the pressure switch is switched on again and the compressor unit begins to pump air into the tank.
• The compression cycle begins again.
• The operating principle described above applies to the situation in which the switch is in position I. The operator can of course interrupt the compression cycle at any time, regardless of the pressure in the tank (even if it does not reach its set maximum, i.e. 8 bar). To finish the job, simply turn the switch to the O position. For the safety of the operator, the compressor is equipped with a safety valve (valve with a ring on the left side of the pressure gauge in case the pressure switch does not work.

COMPRESSOR WORK

The compressor is equipped with two pressure gauges. The pressure gauge to the left of the pressure setting button shows the current pressure in the tank. The pressure gauge on the right is a pressure gauge that shows the pressure set (regulated) by the operator. The pressure regulation range is between 0 and 8 bar. This pressure is regulated by a button. After filling the reservoir, adjust the pressure on the tip outlet. To do this, pull the pressure regulator knob slightly towards you and then set the required operating pressure. Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases the pressure at the outlet, while turning the knob clockwise increases the set pressure. the working tip. The excess air is released through the safety valve (pressure relief valve). The compressor runs continuously until the outlet on the handpiece is closed.

SWITCH OFF THE COMPRESSOR
Set the switch to “0” to switch off the compressor. Always empty the retention tank after switching off the device. To do this, loosen the safety valve by pulling the loop on the valve. Drain the tank until the pressure gauge on the left side of the pressure regulator reads 0 .
