Before using the compressor, read the instructions for use
carefully and comply with the following safety precautions.
Consult this handbook if you have any doubts regarding
functioning.
Preserve all the documentation so that anyone who uses the
compressor can consult this beforehand.
1. PRECAUTIONS
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m. corresponds to the
ACOUSTIC POWER value stated on the label located on the
compressor, minus 20 dB.
This symbol indicates warnings to be read
before using the product so as to prevent injury to
the user.
Warning!
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.
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.
● Keep the work area clear. Clear the work area of unnecessary tools.
● Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters between the
compressor and the work area.
● 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.
● 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.
● Always use the switch I/O to switch off the compressor.
● When the compressor is not in use, act on the I/O switch and put
it in the switched off position "O" (OFF), then remove the plug from
the power socket.
● At the end of each use, rewind the hose completely, putting it in
its housing; this way the reel will be protected of unnecessary and
prolonged tension.
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.
● Never allow inexperienced persons to use the compressor. Keep
children and animals at a distance from the work area.
Preserve this handbook for future reference.
● 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.
● Do not clean the machine with flammable liquids or solvents. Use
only a slightly damp cloth, making sure to have disconnected the
plug from the power socket.
● 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 cover the air vents on the compressor.
● Pay attention to the work being carried out. Use common sense.
Do not stand on the compressor. Do not allow the compressor to
operate unattended.
● Do not use the compressor placed on the floor.
● Do not put weights and/or objects on the compressor (e.g. flower
pots, etc.).
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
● To a v o i d o v e r h e a t i n g o f t h e e l e c t r i c m o t o r, t h i s
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.
● 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 safety valve is set to avoid over-pressurization of the air tanks.
This valve is factory pre-set and will not function unless tank pressure
reaches this pressure. Do not attempt to adjust or eliminate this
safety device.
Any adjustments to this valve could cause serious injury. If this device
requires service or maintenance, see an Authorized Service Center.
● 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,
blowing, pneumatic tools, etc.).
● Check that the air consumption and the maximum working pres-
sure of the pneumatic tool and of the connecting hoses (with the
compressor) to be used are compatible with the pressure set on
the pressure regulator (not included) and with the quantity of air
delivered by the compressor.
● The compressor's performance is guaranteed for operation between
0 and 1000 meters above the sea level.
