Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.

Danger!
The electric power tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. Under certain circumstances, this field may actively or passively impede medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their doctor and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to using the equipment.

Before using the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the power supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the data for 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.
• Make sure that the intake air is dry and dust-free.
• Do not install the compressor in a damp or wet 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, vapours, 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.

Warning! When using the equipment to inflate objects, check the information and safety instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Charging the LI battery pack (Fig. 2, 9)

1. Remove the battery pack (6) from the handle, pressing the pushlock button (a) downwards to do so.
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 flash.
3. Push the battery pack (6) onto the battery charger (d).

In section 10 (Charger indicator) you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the following:

• voltage at the power socket
• whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the charging unit. If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
• the charger and charging adapter
• and the battery pack to our customer service centre.

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 fires.
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 discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 2)
Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (b). The battery capacity indicator (c) will indicate the charge status of the battery by means of 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 blinks:
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 temperature 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.

Operation

Changing between compressor compressed air operation and blower low- pressure operation (Fig. 7)
To change over between compressed air operation and low-pressure operation, press the selector switch (12):

• Switch to the left: Compressed air operation
• Switch in the middle: OFF
• Switch to the right: Low-pressure operation

Pushbutton „Inflation without pressure pre-set“ (Fig. 7)
The „Inflation without pressure pre-set” push button (10) can be used to inflate without first setting the pressure. Press the pushbutton and keep it pressed in order to start the inflation operation; release the pushbutton when the required pressure is reached.

Sleep mode (Fig. 7)
The equipment will switch to sleep mode if it is not used for 5 minutes. To reactivate the equipment, press the „Unit overpressure/wake-up“ button (15).

Compressor compressed air operation (Fig. 1a, 1b, 2, 7)

• To inflate objects with compressed air, use the compressed air hose (5).
• Connect the adapter of the compressed air hose to the object you wish to inflate.
• Depending on what you are inflating, also use the adapters (7, 8, 9) or other adapters available from retail stores.
• The pressure at the compressed air hose will be displayed in the display (11).
• The unit of the displayed pressure can be selected with the button (15). The pressure can be displayed in units of [bar], [PSI] or [kPa].
• The button (14) allows the desired pressure to be reduced.
• The button (16) allows the desired pressure to be increased.
• Switch on the equipment by moving the selector switch (12) to the compressed air operation position
• The compressor will then pump until the preset pressure on the display is reached, and then it will switch off.
• Warning! Observe the information supplied by the tyre manufacturer and the vehicle manufacturer relating to the recommended tire pressure.
• Warning! This equipment is not calibrated! For a calibrated measurement value, check the actual tyre pressure using a calibrated meter after you have inflated the tyres yourself, e.g. at a petrol station.
• Just before it is switched off, the pressure which is shown in the display can be 0.05 – 0.2 bar higher than the preselected pressure, because of overpressure in the air hose.
• Allow the compressor to cool down for about 5 minutes after every 5 minutes of operation in order to prevent overheating.

Low-pressure blower operation (Fig. 1a, 3, 4)

• Suctioning air (Fig. 3, 7)
  • To suction out objects with a large volume until they are empty (e.g. deflating an air mattress, etc.), connect the air hose (3) to the extractor connection (13).
  • Connect the air hose to the object you wish to deflate.
  • Switch on the equipment by moving the selector switch (12) to the low-pressure operation position
  • Switch off the equipment once the object has been sufficiently deflated.

Inflating (Fig. 4, 7)
Warning! When using the equipment to inflate objects, check the information and safety instructions provided by the manufacturer.

• To inflate objects with a large volume (e.g. inflating an air mattress, etc.), connect the air hose (3) to the inflating connection (4).
• Connect the air hose to the object you wish to inflate.
• Switch on the equipment by moving the selector switch (12) to the low-pressure operation position
• Switch off the equipment once the object has been sufficiently inflated.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the 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.
