Unpacking

Open the packaging and carefully remove the device.
Remove the packaging material as well as packaging/transport locks (if present).
Check that all items covered by the scope of delivery are complete.
Check the device and accessories for any transport damage.
If possible, keep the packaging until the warranty period has expired.

CAUTION!
The device and packaging materials are not toys for children!
Children must not be allowed to play with plastic bags, foils and small parts! There is a risk of swallowing and suffocation!

Intended use

The compressor serves to generate compressed air for compressed-air-operated tools that can be operated with an air volume of up to approx. 180 I/min (e.g. tire inflators, blow guns and paint spray guns).
Due to the limited air flow rate, it is not possible to operate tools that have a very high air consumption (e.g. orbital sanders, bar grinders and impact wrenches). The machine may only be used according to its intended purpose. Any other use beyond this is not in compliance with the intended purpose. The user/operator, and not the manufacturer, is liable for any damage or injury of any kind resulting from such not intended usage.
Please note that our devices are not designed or intended for commercial, craft or industrial use. We do not assume any warranty for the device if it is used in commercial, craft or industrial operations and/or in equivalent activities.

Additional safety instructions

Safety instructions for working with compressed air and blow guns

During operation, the compressor pump and lines become very hot. Contact with them will cause burns.
The air drawn in by the compressor must be kept free of impurities that could cause fires or explosions in the compressor pump.
When disconnecting the hose coupling, firmly hold the coupling part of the hose with your hand. This will prevent injuries caused by the hose recoiling.
Wear protective goggles when working with the blow gun. Foreign bodies and parts blown away can easily cause injuries.
Do not use the blow gun to blow on persons or to clean clothing on the body. Risk of injury!
At pressures above 7 bar, it is recommended that feed hoses should be equipped with a safety cable, e.g. a wire rope.

Safety instructions for paint spraying

Do not use any paints or solvents with a flash point of less than SS0C. Danger of explosion!
Do not heat paints and solvents. Danger of explosion!
When handling/working with harmful liquids, filter devices (face masks) are required for protection. Also observe the information on protective measures provided by the manufacturers of such substances.
Observe the information and labels of the Hazardous Substances Ordinance applied to the outer packaging of
the processed materials. If necessary, additional protective measures must be taken, particularly suitable clothing and masks must be worn.
Smoking is not permitted during the spraying process or in the work area. Danger of explosion! Paint vapors are also highly flammable.
Fireplaces, naked lights or sparking machines must not be present or operated.
Do not store or consume food and beverages in the work area. Paint vapors are harmful to health.
The work area must be larger than 30 ensured during spraying and drying.
Do not spray against the wind. Always observe local police authority regulations when spraying flammable or hazardous sprayable substances.
Do not use media such as white spirit, butyl alcohol and methylene chloride in conjunction with the PVC pressure hose. These media destroy the pressure hose.

Assembling and operating

Warning!
It is essential to assemble the device completely before commissioning!
Tire inflation gauge with adapters (Fig. 1/Pos.7)
Working pressure in bar 0-8
Range of application:

The tire inflation gauge enables easy and accurate inflation of car tires. The pressure gauge is used to check the tire pressure. The integrated drain valve (e) can be used to reduce the tire pressure when it is too high.
The tire inflation gauge is equipped with a valve adapter for automobile valves.

Warning! The pressure gauge is not calibrated! Please check the tire pressure immediately after filling, e.g. at a service station.

Application as a blow gun (Fig. 2)
To use the tire inflator as a blow gun, first unscrew the hose with the valve adapter for car tires.
Area of application:

For cleaning/blowing out cavities or places that are hard to reach, as well as for cleaning contaminated implements. The infinitely variable trigger lever facilitates precise dosing of compressed air.

Instructions for the adapter set
The following overview shows how the adapters for the various valves are used properly.
Ball needle (Fig. 3)

For all valves with an inner diameter from 8 mm, there is a corresponding adapter for connecting the tube (f).
Tire inflation gauge and quick-action coupling (page 3 and Figure 2, part 4). The connection provides reliable air tightness.
When cleaning away dust, the blow adapter (d) can be directly attached to the tire inflation gauge with the help of a wrench.

Mains connection

The compressor is equipped with a power cord with a type F electric plug. This can be connected to any 220V-240V~ 50 Hz socket outlet with a 10 A fuse.
Before commissioning, make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to the operating voltage for the machine power on the data plate.
Long feed lines, as well as extensions, cable drums, etc., cause a voltage drop that can prevent the motor from starting.
At temperatures below +S°C, sluggishness and make it difficult to start the motor.

ON/OFF switch

The compressor is switched on by pressing the button (2) to position I.
To switch off the compressor, press the button (2) to position 0.

Electrical connection

The installed electric motor is connected ready for operation. The connection complies with the relevant VDE and DIN regulations. The customer’s mains connection and the extension cord used must comply with these regulations.
Defective electric power cord.
The insulation on electric power cords frequently gets damaged.
This can be caused by:

Pressure points – when power cords are routed through windows or door gaps.
Kinks due to improper fastening or routing of the power cable.
Cuts caused when items are pushed or driven over the power cord.
Insulation damage caused when the power cord is ripped out of the wall socket.
Cracks due to aging of the insulation.
Do NOT use such defective electric power cords, their defective insulation are a hazard to life.

Check electric power cords regularly for damage. Make sure that while you are examining the power cord it is not connected to the power supply. Electric power cords must comply with the relevant VOE and DIN regulations. Use only power cords marked HOSW-F.
By law, the type designation must be printed on the power cord.

AC motor

The mains voltage must be AC220~240V/ SOHz. Extension cords up to a length of 25 m must have a cross section of 1.5 square millimeters. Electric equipment shall be connected and/or repaired only by a qualified electrician.
In case of queries, please provide the following data:

Power type of the motor
Data on the machine’s type plate
