SETUP & PREPARATION

ASSEMBLY

WARNING! ENSURE THE TOOL IS SWITCHED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES.

Pre-Setup Checks

Examine the machine for signs of transit damage. If damaged, do not use, contact Ozito.
The compressor should be set up near the area of use.
Avoid long air lines and long supply lines (extensions).
Make sure the intake air is dry and dust-free.
Do not set up the compressor in damp or wet rooms.
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. Before you use the machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies with the specifications on the rating plate

Fitting the Wheels

Note: You must fully assemble the compressor before using it for the first time.

Place a washer onto wheel bolt and insert the wheel bolt through the hole in the wheel bracket, below the tank.
From the inside of the wheel bracket, place a washer and spring washer on the wheel bolt. Fasten the wheel bolt in position with a nut.
Repeat this process with the second wheel.

Fitting the Supporting Foot

Push the rubber supporting foot into the pole below the tank.

Fitting the Air Intake Filter

The air compressor may be transported with a plug to prevent anything entering the intake. Remove this plug from the air intake hole if fitted.

Screw the air filter into the hole in the side of the motor housing in a clockwise direction.

OPERATION

Switching On /Of

Attach the desired tool to the quick release air outlet.
To switch the compressor on, pull the on/off switch up into the on position.
To switch the compressor off, push the on/off switch down into the off position.

Preset Pressure

The minimum and maximum preset tank pressure is set at the factory and the operator should not alter it.

Preset Pressure

Switch-On pressure: 6 bar
Switch-Off pressure: 8 bar

Note: When the maximum preset tank pressure is reached, the motor will automatically switch Off. As the compressed air is used, the pressure will drop until it reaches the preset minimum pressure, when the minimum pressure is reached the compressor will turn on again automatically to build up/maintain pressure.

Adjusting the Pressure

Once set up and operating you can adjust the air pressure by turning the pressure regulating knob.

To increase the air pressure, rotate the regulating knob clockwise.
To decrease the pressure, rotate the regulating knob anti-clockwise, past the desired pressure. Then rotate the regulating knob clockwise to meet the desired pressure.

Note: Air must be flowing through the quick release air outlet, and the attached air tool in order to obtain the correct output reading on the pressure gauge.

Turning Off

After the job has been completed, the compressor should be switched off and the pressure released following the steps below.

Push the on/off switch down into the off position to switch the compressor off.
Switch off the mains power supply and remove the electrical plug.
Release the remaining compressed air in the tank by use of an air tool (blow gun etc).

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and material damage.

Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency, before operating the tool.

Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS – PERSONAL SAFETY

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dustrelated hazards.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools aredangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

AIR COMPRESSOR SAFETY WARNINGS

The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

WARNING.

Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool.
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance.

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, never spray flammable liquids in a confined area. It is normal for the compressor motor and pressure switch to produce sparks during use. If sparks come into contact with petrol vapours or solvents, they may ignite the vapours and cause a fire or explosion.
Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where sparks or flames are present. Keep the compressor as far away from the spray area as possible.
The solvents trichloroethane and methylene chloride can chemically react with the aluminium used in some paint spray guns and form an explosion. If these solvents are used, ensure that only stainless steel spray equipment is connected. The compressor is not affected by the use of these solvents.
Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a compressor and do not use it for charging breathing tanks.
Do not use welding equipment in close proximity to the compressor. Do not weld anything to the air tank of the compressor: this could dangerously weaken the tank and will void the warranty.
Do not use the compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface; either situation could cause an electric shock.
Always shut off the compressor after use and before servicing. Push the on/off knob down, wait for the pressurised air to bleed from the tank from the release valve and then remove the electrical plug from the power supply.
Check the maximum pressure rating of any tools or accessories that you intend using with the compressor. The output pressure of the air from the compressor must be regulated so that it never exceeds the rated pressure of the tool or accessory.
To avoid the risk of burns and injury from moving parts, do not operate the compressor with the safety shield removed. Allow hot parts to cool before handling or servicing.
Be certain to read all the labels on the containers of paint or other materials to be sprayed. Closely follow all safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance that you might otherwise inhale the spray material. Carefully check the effectiveness of any respirator mask you intend using.
Always wear safety goggles or glasses when using the air compressor. Never point the nozzle of an accessory towards any part of your body or towards another person.
Do not attempt to adjust the pressure switch or the release valve located under the pressure switch cover.
Drain the moisture from the tank daily. It will help prevent corrosion.
Keep the compressor at least 300mm from the nearest wall to ensure adequate ventilation for cooling purposes.
Before transporting the compressor make sure that the pressurised air is bled from the tank and that the compressor is firmly secured.
Protect the air hose and cordset from damage. Inspect for weak or worn spots regularly and replace if necessary.
Avoid using an extension cord with this product. Use additional air hose instead of an extension cord to prevent power loss and possible damage to the motor. Use of an extension cord voids the warranty.
After long working periods external metal parts could be hot.
Always press the on/off button down to switch off the compressor before switching off the power or removing the power plug.
After using the compressor, switch off the on/off button, disconnect the power supply and use a blow gun or similar to release the remaining pressure in the tank.
Do not attempt to remove any part of the machine whilst it is under pressure.
Do not attempt to adjust/modify the safety valve in any way. The safety valve installed on this air compressor is designed to automatically release pressure in case of excess pressure build up in the tank.
Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, breathing or respirator mask and protective clothing.
Never attempt to remove any part of the compressor whilst the tank is under pressure.

Wear goggles, wear earmuffs, wear a breathing mask

Never apply the outlet air of this compressor directly on to any part of a person’s body. Do not attempt to block the air outlet with your finger or any part of your body.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.

Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:

Damage to the lungs if an effective breathing mask is not worn.
Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.
Damage to the eyes if effective safety goggles or shield are not worn.

**** WARNING.

In the event that an air line is cut or broken, the air supply must be turned off at the compressor.
A broken air line which is not supported is extremely dangerous and can whip around very quickly, both with the capability of striking people, and blowing foreign particles into the air.
Do not attempt to catch the air line but immediately keep bystanders well clear and turn off the air supply to the hose, turn off the compressor at the On / Off button, and then remove the hose from the compressor.
