SAFETY RULES

This symbol indicates warnings to be read before using the product so as
to prevent injury to the user.
Compressed air is a potentially dangerous form of energy; always take
great care when using the compressor and its accessories.
Warning: the compressor may restart when power is restored following
a blackout.
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE's value of 4 m. corresponds to the
ACOUSTIC POWER's value stated on the yellow label located on the
compressor, minus 20 dB.
DO'S
- 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 with dust, acids, vapors, explosive or flammable gases.
- Keep the work area free. When operating, the compressor must be placed
on a stable surface. The compressor must be used in a vertical position only.
- Safety goggles should be worn when using the compressor in order to
protect the eyes against any foreign bodies lifted by the jet of air.
- If possible, when using air-powered accessories, wear safety clothing.
- Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters between the
compressor and the work area.
- 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 electrical 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 with a cable
cross-section of not less than 1.5 mm
length and cross-section and also of adapters and multiple sockets should
be avoided.
- Always use the handle to move the compressor.
- Do not lift the compressor by the telescopic handle (reference 19). This

CONNECTING ACCESSORIES TO THE COMPRESSOR
Before connecting accessories, always make sure that the compressor
is OFF.
All the accessories are connected to the compressor using the spiral
cord (12) fitted with quick connects.
Insert the spiral cord 12 from the side of connector A in the compressed air
outlet 6 (fig. 1). Push connector A firmly until it clicks in place.
Connect the accessory selected to the other end (C) of the spiral cord (fig.
3): push fitting D of the accessory firmly inside C. A click indicates that the
accessory is connected.
When you have finished your work, switch off the compressor, drain the
compressed air receiver using the accessory connected dry (for example,
blowing with the gun empty), then disconnect the spiral cord from the
compressor, pulling back the external ring-nut B (fig. 2). With the same

handle is only for pulling the unit.
- When using compressed air, you must know and comply with the safety
precautions to be adopted for each type of application (inflation, air-
powered tools, painting, washing with water-based detergents only,
clinching, etc.).
- To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor is designed
for intermittent duty operation as indicated on the technical dataplate
(for example, S3-15 means 1.5 minutes On, 8.5 minutes OFF). In case
of overheating, the thermal cutout of the motor is released, automatically
cutting off the power when the temperature is too high due to excess
current take-off. The motor restarts automatically when normal temperature
conditions are restored.
DON'TS
- Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals or your body.
- Never let the compressor come into contact with water or other liquids
and never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected to the
compressor towards the compressor: as the appliance is live, this could
cause electrocution or short-circuits.
- Never use the appliance with bare feet or wet hands or feet.
- Never yank the power cable to disconnect the plug from the power outlet or
to move the compressor.
- Never leave the appliance exposed to adverse weather conditions (rain,
sun, fog, snow).
- If this compressor is used outdoors, always remember to stow it after use
in a covered or closed place.
- Never use the compressor outdoors in rain or bad weather.
- Never allow inexpert persons to use the compressor without suitable
surveillance. Keep 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.
- The compressed air produced by the compressor cannot not be used for
pharmaceutical, food or medical purposes or to fill the air bottles of scuba
divers.
- Do not place flammable or nylon/fabric objects close to and/or on the
compressor.
- Do not cover the air inlets on the compressor.
- Do not open or tamper with any part of the compressor. Contact an
authorized Service Center.
procedure (pulling back the ring-nut of connector C), disconnect the spiral
cord from the accessory (fig. 4).

USE OF THE COMPRESSOR
Connect the accessory required. Connect the compressor to the mains using
the power cable 15 located in housing 16 on the back of the compressor.
Press switch 1 to start the compressor. The compressor will continue
to operate until the air receiver is completely full. On reaching maximum
pressure (8 bar), the compressor will stop automatically. The pressure value
of the air contained in the receiver is indicated on gauge 3.
For reasons of safety and for improved use, the accessories must operate
at a specific pressure, indicated in table 1 and represented by the colored
segments of the gauge 5. To adjust the specific operating pressure for each
accessory, turn knob 4 in a clockwise direction (+) to increase the pressure
and in a counterclockwise direction (-) to reduce it (check the precise
pressure level on gauge 5).
Once you have set a suitable operating pressure, the accessory is ready for use.
It is normal for the compressor to stop and restart at intervals during use of
the compressed air.
You can connect simultaneously two pneumatic tools in the two
compressed air outlets 6 (provided with quick connect). In this case, the
same pressure will be set for both the pneumatic tools, by adjusting
the operating pressure by means of the knob 4.
You can use compressed air also at a distance from a power source:
fill the receiver contained inside beforehand following the procedure
described above; disconnect the compressor from the power supply, take
the compressor to the place where it is to be used, connect and use the
accessory required. The time of use prior to another recharge depends
on the volume of air you consume.
