TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
This is a V-Belt driven 2-cylinder compressor in mobile
design. This compressor is also equipped with a reducing
valve, a automatic shutdown and a quick coupling.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following pictograms are used in these instructions
for use:
Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life or
damage to the tool in case of non-observance of the
instructions in this manual.
Denotes risk of electric shock.
Carefully read this manual before using the machine.
Make sure that you know how the machine functions and
how to operate it. Maintain the machine in accordance
with the instructions to make sure it functions properly.
Keep this manual and the enclosed documentation with
the machine.
When using electric machines always observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury. Read the following safety instructions and
also the enclosed safety instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place!
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• The air compressor must be used in a suitable envi-
ronment (good ventilation - within ambient tempera-
ture +5°C - +40°C). The area in which the compres-
sor is operated must be free from dust, acids, vapour,
explosive gas, flammable or unstable materials.
• To obtain sufficient ventilation and cooling the dis-
tance between the shield and the wall needs to be at
least 50 to 60 cm.
• Do not leave the machine outside where it can be
affected by the weather.
• Keep a safety distance between the compressor and
the working area specially in using paints or liquids
goods. External possible colourings of the compres-
sor show enough distance.
• Do not weld or make any modifications whatsoever
to the tank. If you find some defects, air leak or corro-
sion the unit must be returned to the Service Centres
for a replacement to be fitted.
• Never aim compressed air towards people or
towards your body and remember that the use of
protective glasses 'is necessary for protecting the
eyes from dust and other particles moved by com-
pressed air
• The use of compressed air in its applications (tyre
inflation, pneumatic tools, spray painting, washing,
detergent washing etc.) must comply with the rele-
vant regulations for the individual cases guaranteeing
the minimum distance of 6 meters between the wor-
king area and the compressor.
• Compressed air from a compressor cannot be used
for pharmaceutical, food or health uses without furt-
her treatment.
• Do not use the compressed air to fill the cylinders for
breathing/diving apparatus.
THE FOLLOWING POINTS NEED TO BE
CHECKED:
• Do the voltage of the engine and the engine safe
guard, if any, correspond to the mains voltage;
• An earthed mains connection (wall socket) needs to
be used;
• Are the mains lead and the mains plug in a good condi-
tion: solid, without any loose ends or damage;
• The pressure reducing valve may not be completely
closed so as to prevent damage to membranes;
• The oil level with help from the gauge. The oil level
should be within the area indicated by both marks on
the gauge, when the compressor is placed level.
• Before use the air tank needs to be empty.
To prevent damage to the motor windings as a
result of voltage variation it is advisable to mount an
engine safety switch.
IMMEDIATELY SWITCH OFF THE COMPRES-
SOR IN CASE OF:
• Defective mains plug, mains line or damage to the
mains line;
• Defective switch;
• Smoke or bad smell caused by scorched insulation.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate.
Replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they
have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert
the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.
Using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of the machine. The minimum conductor
size is 1,5 mm2. When using a cable reel always unwind
the reel completely.
