PRECAUTIONS
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m. corresponds to the ACOUSTIC
POWER value stated on the yellow label located on the compressor,
minus 20 dB.
THINGS TO DO
• The compressor must be used in a suitable environment (well
ventilated with an ambient temperature of between +5°C and +40°C)
and never in places affected by dust, acids, vapors, explosive or
flammable gases.
• Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters between the
compressor and the work area.
• Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor during painting operations
indicates that the distance is too short.
• Insert the plug of the electric cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage
and frequency complying with current regulations.
• Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and of suitable
cross-section.
• The use of extension cables of different length and also of adapters and
multiple sockets should be avoided.
• Always use the I/O switch to switch off the compressor.
• Always use the handle to move the compressor.
• When operating, the compressor must be placed on a stable surface.
NOT
THINGS TO DO
• Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals or your body. (Always
wear safety goggles to protect your eyes against flying objects that may be
lifted by the jet of air).
• Never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected to the compressor
towards the compressor.
• Never use the appliance with bare feet or wet hands or feet.
• Never pull the power cable to disconnect the plug from the socket or to
move the compressor.
• Never leave the appliance exposed to adverse weather conditions.
• Never transport the compressor with the receiver under pressure.
• Do not weld or machine the receiver. In the case of faults or rusting, replace
the entire receiver.

START-UP AND USE
• Check for correspondence between the compressor plate data with the
actual specifications of the electrical system. A variation of ± 10% with
respect of the rated value is allowed.
• Insert the plug of the power cable in a suitable socket checking that the I/O
switch located on the compressor is in the OFF «O» position.
• At this point, the compressor is ready for use.
• Operating on the I/O switch, the compressor starts, pumping air into the
receiver through the delivery pipe.
• When the upper calibration value (set by the manufacturer) has been
reached, the compressor stops.
When air is used, the compressor restarts automatically when the lower
calibration value is reached (2 bar between upper and lower).
• The pressure in the receiver can be checked on the gauge provided.
• The compressor continues to operate according to this automatic cycle
until the I/O switch is turned.
• Always wait at least 10 seconds from when the compressor has been
switched off before restarting this.

• Never allow inexpert persons to use the compressor. Keep children and
animals at a distance from the work area.
• This appliance is not intended for use 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
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• Do not position flammable or nylon/fabric objects closed to and/or on the
compressor.
• Never clean the compressor with flammable liquids or solvents. Check that
you have unplugged the compressor and clean with a damp cloth only.
• The compressor must be used only for air compression. Do not use the
compressor for any other type of gas.
• The compressed air produced by the compressor cannot not be used
for pharmaceutical, food or medical purposes except after particular
treatments and cannot be used to fill the air bottles of scuba divers.
• Do not lift the compressor by the telescopic handle (reference 10). This
handle is only for pulling the unit.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
• To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor is
designed for intermittent operation as indicated on the technical
dataplate (for example, S3-25 means 2.5 minutes ON, 7.5 minutes
OFF). In the case of overheating, the thermal cutout of the motor
trips, automatically cutting off the power when the temperature is
too high. The motor restarts automatically when normal temperature
conditions are restored.
• To facilitate restart of the compressor, in addition to the operations
indicated, it is important to return the button I/O to the OFF position and
then to ON again.
• All the compressors are fitted with a safety valve that is tripped in the case
of malfunctioning of the pressure switch in order to assure machine safety.
• The red notch on the pressure gauge refers to the maximum operating
pressure of the tank. It does not refer to the adjusted pressure.
• When fitting a tool, the flow of air in output must be switched off.
• When using compressed air, you must know and comply with the safety
precautions to be adopted for each type of application (inflation, pneumatic
tools, painting, washing with water-based detergents only, etc.).
• All compressors are fitted with a pressure reducer. Operating on the
knob with the tap open (turning it in a clockwise direction to increase the
pressure and in a counterclockwise direction to reduce it), air pressure can
be regulated so as to optimize use of pneumatic tools.
• The value set can be checked on the gauge.
• Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working
pressure of the pneumatic tool to be used are compatible with the
pressure set on the pressure regulator and with the amount of air
supplied by the compressor.
• Always pull out the plug and drain the receiver once you have completed
your work.

MAINTENANCE
• BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION, ALWAYS PULL OUT THE
PLUG AND DRAIN THE RECEIVER COMPLETELY.
• Periodically (or after working with the compressor for more than an hour),
drain the condensate that forms inside the receiver due to the humidity in
the air. This protects the receiver from corrosion and does not restrict its
capacity.
• The condensation water MUST BE DISPOSED OF in accordance with
environmental protection regulations and current legislation.
The compressor must be disposed in conformity with the methods
provided for by local regulations.
