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.
- 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 back of the compressor.
- 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.
Charging the battery
- Take the battery pack out of the tool. Do this by pressing the push-lock button on the side.
- 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 (c) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to blink.
- Place the battery (b) onto the charger (c).
- In the section entitled „Charger indicator, “ you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.
The battery can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
- whether there is the voltage at the socket outlet.
- whether there is good contact at the charging contacts.
- If the battery pack still fails to charge, please 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 a 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.
Important!
For the best results in terms of endurance and performance, you should always
use batteries with the same capacity of 3.0 Ah or higher.
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
machine‘s operating time depends on the battery with a 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.
Fitting the batteries (Fig. 8a/b)
Swing open the battery cover (Item 11) as shown in Fig. 8a by pressing (1) and
pulling outwards (2). Then insert the two batteries (c) in the mounts as shown
in Fig. 8b and close the cover. Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 10) Press the
button for the battery capacity indicator (a). The battery capacity indicator
(d) shows the charge status of the battery using 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:
If the battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment,
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
On/Off switch (4)
To switch on the equipment, set the On/Off switch (4) to position 1.
To switch off the equipment, move the On/Off switch (4) to position 0.
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. Caution! 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 (Fig. 2)
Working pressure in a bar: 0-8
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.
You can also fi ll other valve types by using the supplied adapters.
Using the equipment as a blow-out pistol (Fig. 3)
To use the tire pressure gauge as a blow-out pistol you must fi rst unscrew and
remove the hose with the valve adapter for car tires. Now the blow-out adapter
(7) 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 infi nicely variable trigger lever allows
exact dosing of compressed air.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible operating pressure of 8 bar (also shown
on the back of the tire pressure gauge).
Instructions for the adapter set
For information on the correct use of the adapters for the various valves,
please refer to the following overview (see Fig. 7 which shows how to connect
the adapter to the compressor).
-
Ball needle (Figure 4)
-
Range of applications: For inflating balls. The ball needle can be used to inflate a variety of different balls.
TIP: To avoid damaging the valve, moisten the needle slightly before inserting it. -
Valve adapter (Figure 5)
Range of applications: For Dunlop and Presta cycle tire valves.
This valve adapter is designed for inflating cycle tires. -
Conical universal adapter (Fig. 6) Range of applications: The universal adapter can be used for inflating airbeds and other similar items.
Danger! Never direct the jet of compressed air at yourself or at any
other persons or animals.
Caution! Infl ating objects to above the recommended pressure level may
cause damage to the objects or harm to bystanders!
What to do in case of an abnormal/emergency situation
- Stop the operation
- 2. Switch off the equipment.
- Pull the power plug
After using
- Switch off the equipment.
- Take out the batteries.
- Remove all accessories from the equipment such as, e.g. hose, tire pressure gauge, etc.
- If the equipment is going to be cleaned or repaired, allow it to cool down fi rst.
- Check the equipment for signs of damage.
Cleaning, maintenance, and ordering of spare parts
-
Danger!
Remove the rechargeable batteries before doing any cleaning and maintenance work. -
Danger!
Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down. Risk of burns! -
Danger!
After use, always switch off the equipment immediately and pull out the rechargeable batteries.
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 at-tack 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.
Storage
Danger!
Pull out the rechargeable batteries and ventilate the equipment 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.
Danger!
Store the compressor only in a dry location that is not accessible to
unauthorized persons. Always store upright, never tilted!
Transport
- Transport the equipment only by carrying it by the transport handle.
- Protect the equipment against unexpected knocks and vibrations
Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
