WHAT TO DO IF SMALL
MALFUNCTIONS OCCUR
Air losses
These can be caused by poor tightness of a union - check all
unions, wetting them with soapy water.
Compressor not starting
If the compressor has trouble starting, check the following :
- Does mains power match that of the data-plate?
- Are power cable extensions of adequate diameter or length?
- Is the work environment too cold? (under 0°C)
- Is power supplied to the electrical line?
- Are sockets properly connected?
- Are the thermal breaker and fuses in good condition?
Compressor not stopping
- If the compressor does not stop when maximum pressure
is reached, the tank safety valve comes into operation. A
compressor with a faulty safety valve must NEVER be used
- contact your nearest service centre immediately.
IMPORTANT
- Do not on any account unscrew any connection while the
tank is pressurised .
- Always check if the tank is pressure free.
- Do not drill holes, weld or purposely deform the compressed
air tank.
- Do not do any maintenance on the compressor unless you
have disconnected the power plug.
- Temperature in operating ambient: 0°C to +35°C.
- Do not aim jets of water or inflammable liquids on the
compressor.
- Do not place flammable objects near the compressor.
- During down-times, turn the switch to position "0" (OFF).
- Never aim the air jet at people or animals.
- Do not transport the compressor while the tank is
pressurised.
- Be careful with regard to some parts of the compressor
such as the head and delivery tubes, as they can reach high
temperatures. Do not touch these parts to avoid burns.
- Transport the compressor, lifting or pulling it with the
appropriate grips or handles.
- Keep children and animals well away from the machine
operating area.
- If using the compressor for painting: a) Do not work in
closed environments or near to naked flames b) Make sure
there is adequate exchange of air at the place of work c)
Protect your nose and mouth with an appropriate mask.
Consult the tool / accessory manual and adhere to any
10
safety requirements.
- If the electrical cable or plug are damaged, do not use the
compressor and contact an authorised service centre to
replace the faulty element with an original spare part.
- If the compressor is located on a shelf or on a top above
floor height, it must be secured to prevent it falling while in
operation.
- Do not put objects or your hands inside the protective grilles
to avoid injury to yourself or damaging the compressor.
- Do not use the compressor as a blunt object toward things
or animals, to avoid serious damage.
- When you have finished using the compressor, always
remove the plug from the power socket.
ELECTRO-COMPRESSOR MODELS
For the European market, the compressor tanks are
manufactured to meet Directive 2009/105/EC.
For the European market, the compressors are manufactured
to meet Directive 2006/42/EC & 2000/14/EC.
Acoustic pressure measured free-field at a distance of 4m at
maximum operating pressure.
HINTS FOR EFFICIENT OPERATION
- For efficient operation of the machine at full continuing
load and at maximum operating pressure, make sure the
temperature of the work environment indoors does not
exceed +25°C.
THESE COMPRESSORS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED FOR
INTERMITTENT USE. THEY SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR
APPLICATIONS WHERE USAGE WILL NOT EXCEED 50% OF
DUTY OVER THE COURSE OF ONE HOUR.
STORING THE PACKED AND UNPACKED
COMPRESSOR
For the whole time that the compressor is not used before
unpacking it, store it in a dry place at a temperature between
+5°C and + 45°C and sheltered away from weather. For the
whole time that the compressor is not used after unpacking
it, disconnect from the mains supply, drain the air tank place
sheets over it to protect it from dust, which may settle on the
components.

PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS

Make sure you always use pneumatic tubes for compressed
air with maximum pressure characteristics that are adequate
for the compressor. Do not attempt to repair tubes if faulty.
