a three-core cable and three-pin grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding
type socket. Never disassemble the compressor or carry out other connections
to the pressure switch.
WARNING – the grounding must be carried out according to EN 60204 norms.
EXTENSION CABLE
Use only three-way extension cables that have three-pin connecting plugs and
three-pole sockets that accept the compressor plug. Do not use extension cables
that are damaged or squashed. An under rated cable will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table shows the correct
size to use depending on the length according to the following parameters (size

in [mm
] for a cable with maximum length of 20 mt.):
INSTALLATION. Fit the suction cups underneath the base of the unit as
indicated. Position the compressor on a flat surface or one with a max. inclination
of 10° in a well-ventilated area. If the surface is sloping and smooth, make sure
that the compressor does not move while in operation. If the compressor
operates on a shelf or the edge of a stand, ensure that it may not fall off by
securing it appropriately.
STARTING. Ensure that the knob situated in the upper part of the compressor is
turned to "0". Put the plug into the power socket and turn the knob to "I". Attach
the rubber hose or the spiral type hose to the appropriate fitting situated near the
pressure switch. The compressor operates completely automatically and is
controlled by the pressure switch which stops it when the pressure inside the
tank reaches the maximum pressure and starts it again when the pressure
returns to the minimum level. The difference in pressure is usually 2 bar (29
PSI). After having connnected the compressor to the electrical power supply line,
load to the maximum pressure and check the correct efficiency of the machine.
ADJUSTING THE WORKING PRESSURE. It is not always necessary to use all
the working pressure available, on the contrary, most of the time the pneumatic
tool needs less pressure. Set the pressure at the required value by turning the
knob clockwise to increase it and anti-clockwise to decrease it. The pressure
setting is shown on the pressure gauge of the compressor.
Before servicing the compressor, make sure that:
- the power cable is unplugged from the electricity supply
- there is no pressure in the air receiver
The compressor generates condensation that accumulates in the tank. The
condensate must be drained from the tank at least once a week by opening the
condensate drain valve underneath it. Be careful in case there is any
compressed air within the cylinder as the water could burst out with some force.
Recommended pressure 1-2 bar max.
Air leaks
These may depend on the poor seal of some of the pipe fittings within the
machine; check all the pipe fittings by wetting them with soapy water.
The compressor fails to start
If the compressor fails to start, check:
- if all the wires are connected properly
- if the compressor is electrically powered (plugged in correctly, circuit breaker
tripped, blown fuses)
The compressor fails to stop
If the compressor fails to stop when the maximum pressure is reached, the
safety valve of the tank will trip.
authorised service centre to have it repaired.
- Do not drill, weld or intentionally deform the compressed air tank.
- Ambient temperature to ensure correct operating efficiency: 0°C +25°C (MAX
45°C).
- When the compressor is not in use, turn the main switch OFF (pos. «0»).
- Be very careful when using the compressor, as some of its parts such as the
head and delivery pipes can get extremely hot. Do not touch these parts to
avoid getting scalded.
- Use the dedicated handles or grips to lift the compressor to move it around.
- If you use the compressor for painting:
a) Do not use it indoors or near naked flames.
b) Make sure that the area in which you work has a sufficient change of air.
