IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always use the handle to move the compressor.
When using compressed air, you must know and
comply with the safety precautions to be adopted
for each type of application (inflation, airpowered
tools, painting, washing with water-based
detergents only, clinching, etc.).
Please check that the air consumption and the
maximum working pressure of the pneumatic tool
and connection pipes (with the compressor) to be
used, are compatible with the pressure set on the
pressure regulator and with the amount of air
supplied by the compressor.
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 use the compressor if it is installed on floors
with a slope of more than 15°.
Do not open or tamper with any part of the
compressor. Contact an authorized Service Centre.
Never store a tool with air connected. Storing the
tool with air connected can result in unexpected
firing and possible serious personal injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
Keep the motor vents clear and free from dust,
wipe regularly to maintain an adequate supply of
clean air to the air compressor.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an
authorized service center to avoid risk.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents. Floor must not be slippery from wax
or dust.
b) Do not operate air compressors in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
