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 those of the rechargeable battery.

• Check the equipment for damage 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.
• Make sure that the intake air is dry and dust-free.
• Do not install the compressor in a damp room.
• 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.
• 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 sys-tem is put into operation.
• Supply hoses at pressures above 7 bar should be equipped with a safety cable (e.g. a wire rope).

Charging the battery (Fig. 3)

1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment. Do this by pressing the side push lock buttons.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger  (d) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.
3. Slot the battery pack (12) onto the battery charger (d).
4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator, “ you will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
• whether there is good contact at the charging contacts

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

• the charger
• and the battery pack to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Important!
Use only batteries which are charged to the same level. Never combine full and half-full batteries. Always charge the two batteries simultaneously.
The equipment‘s operating time depends on the battery with the lower charge level. The two batteries must always be fully charged before use. Close the battery cover by swinging it down, and make sure that it latches in place correctly.

Installing the battery (Fig. 1b)
Flip up the battery cover (18) as shown in Figure 1b. Slot the two rechargeable batteries (12) into the mounts.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 4)
Press the battery capacity indicator switch (a). The battery capacity indicator (b) will indicate the charge status of the battery employing 3 LEDs.

All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.

2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

1 LED fl ashes:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, and keep it at room tem-perature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

Assembly and starting

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

On/Off switch (Fig. 1a)

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

Setting the pressure (Fig. 1a)

• You can adjust the pressure on the pressure gauge (6) using the pressure regulator (7).
• The set pressure can be drawn 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

Cleaning, maintenance

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Hazard!
Remove the rechargeable batteries 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 rechargeable batteries.

Cleaning

• Keep the safety devices 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 appliance immediately after you use it.
• Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in the appli-ance. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the appliance.
• 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 fi later (3)
The intake fi filter prevents dust and dirt from being drawn in. It is essential to clean this fi later after at least every 300 hours in operation. A clogged intake later 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 out the rechargeable batteries and ventilate the equipment 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!
