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.

Technical data

Noise
The noise emission values were measured in accordance with EN ISO 3744. Operating mode S3 – 15% – 10min: S3 = Intermittent mode without influencing the starting pro-cess. This means that during a period of 10 min the max. operating time is 15% (1.5 min).

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 equipment for damage which 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 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, 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 spray-ed water.
• Operate the equipment only on a firm, level surface.
• During operation place the compressor on the rubber feet on the compressor’s rear wheel.
• Important! When you switch off the compressor, excess air will escape at the safety valve. This is not a fault but arises in connection with the equipment‘s construction.

Assembly and starting

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

Power supply

Before you use the machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies with the specifi cations on the rating plate. Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up. At low temperatures below +5°C, sluggishness may make starting diffi cult or impossible.

On/Off switch (4)

To switch on the equipment set the On/Off switch (4) to position 1. Move the On/Off switch (4) to position 0 to switch off the equipment.

Compressed air hose with quick-lock coupling (3)

• Connecting:
  Insert the nipple of the air tool into the quick-lock coupling, the sleeve will spring forward automatically.

• Disconnecting:
  Pull back the sleeve and remove the tool. Important! When releasing the quick- lock coupling, be sure to hold the coupling piece to protect yourself against injury from the rebounding hose.

Tire pressure gauge with adapters

Range of applications:
The tire pressure gauge allows you to infl ate tires easily and exactly. Use the pressure gauge to check the tire pressure. If the tire pressure is too high, you can reduce the pressure with the integrated relief valve (e).
After filling with air, please check the set tire pressure with a calibrated gauge, for example at a petrol station. The tire pressure gauge comes with a valve adapter for car tire valves. Other valve types can be filled using the supplied adapters (a-c).

Using the equipment as a blow-out pistol

To use the tire pressure gauge as a blow-out pistol you must first unscrew and remove the hose with the valve adapter for care tires. Now the blow-out adapter (d) can be screwed to the tire pressure gauge.

Range of applications:
For cleaning and blowing out hollow spaces or hard-to-reach areas, as well as for cleaning soiled equipment. The infinitely variable trigger lever allows exact dosing of compressed air.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Important!

• Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance work on the appliance.
• Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down. Risk of burns!
• After use, always switch off the equipment immediately and pull out the power plug.

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.
• 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.
