Roadworthy compressors for building site operations
Make sure that all lines and fittings are suitable for the maximum permissible operating pressure of the compressor.

Place of installation
Set up the compressor on an even surface. Safety instructions for working with compressed air and blasting guns

The compressor pump and lines can become very hot during operation. Touching these parts will burn you.
The air which is sucked in by the compressor must be kept free of impurities that could cause fires or explosions in the compressor pump.
When releasing the hose coupling, hold the hose coupling piece with your hand. This way, you can protect yourself against injury from the rebounding hose.
Wear safety goggles when working with the blow-out pistol. Foreign bodies or blown-off parts can easily cause injuries.
Do not blow at people with the blow-out pistol and do not clean clothes while being worn. Risk of injury!

Safety information for paint spraying

Do not process any paints or solvents with a flash point below 55° C. There is a risk of explosion!
Do not heat paints or solvents. There is a risk of explosion!
If hazardous liquids are processed, wear protective filter units (face guards). Also, adhere to the safety information provided by the manufacturers of such liquids.
The details and designations of the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances, which are displayed on the outer packaging of the processed material, must be observed.
Additional protective measures are to be undertaken if necessary, particularly the wearing of suitable clothing and masks.
Do not smoke during the spraying process and/or in the work area. There is a risk of explosion! Paint vapors are easily combustible.
Never set up or operate the equipment in the vicinity of a fireplace, open lights, or sparking machines.
Do not store or eat food and drink in the work area. Paint vapors are harmful to your health.
The work area must exceed 30 m3 and sufficient ventilation must be ensured during spraying and drying. Do not spray again in the wind. Always adhere to the regulations of the local police authority when spraying combustible or hazardous materials.
Do not process media such as white spirit, butyl alcohol, and methylene chloride with the PVC pressure hose. These media will destroy the pressure hose.

Operating pressure vessels

You must keep your pressure vessel in good working order, operate the vessel correctly, monitor the vessel, carry out necessary maintenance and repair work immediately, and meet the relevant safety precautions.
The supervisory authority may enforce essential control measures in individual cases.
A pressure vessel is not allowed to be used if it has faults or deficiencies that can endanger workers or third parties.
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, then please contact the customer service workshop.
Do not lose these safety instructions.

Compressor
Original safety and operating instructions

Proper use
The compressor is designed to generate compressed air for tools operated by compressed air. 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.

Technical data

See the warranty card of your country.

Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the main data.

Examine the machine for signs of transit damage. Report any damage immediately to the company that delivered the compressor.
The compressor should be set up near the working consumer.
Avoid long airlines and long supply lines (extensions).
Make sure the intake air is dry and dust-free.
Do not set up the compressor in damp rooms.
The compressor may only be used 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.

Assembly and starting
Important!
You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for the first time.

Voltage
Before you use the machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies with the specifications on the rating plate. Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels, etc. cause a voltage drop and can impede motor start-up. In the case of low temperatures below +5°C, the motor start-up is jeopardized as a result of stiffness.

On/Off switch (8)
To switch on the equipment set the On/Off switch (8) to position 1. Move the On/Off switch (8) to position 0 to switch off the equipment.

Adjusting the pressure (Fig. 1)
You can adjust the pressure on the pressure gauge (6) using the pressure regulator (7). The set pressure can be taken from the quicklock coupling (5).

Setting the pressure switch
The pressure switch is set at the factory.

Switch-on pressure 6 bar/87 psi
Switch-off pressure 7 bar/100 psi

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

Cleaning, maintenance, and ordering of spare parts

Important!
Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance work on the appliance.

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

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

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.

Condensation water
Caution!
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. Tilt the compressor tank until the drainage cock is at the lowest point of the tank. All the condensation water can then run out.

Safety valve (10)
The safety valve has been set for the highest permitted 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. Pull the ring with sufficient force until you can hear the compressed air being released. Then release the ring again.

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

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