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? (fig. 5)
-Are power cable extensions of adequate diameter or length?
-Is the work environment too cold? (under 0°C)
-Is there oil in the housing to ensure lubrication?
-Is power supplied to the electrical line? (sockets well connected, thermal- breaker, 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. To
repair the valve, contact your nearest service centre.
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 jobs on the compressor unless you have disconnected the power plug.
-Temperature in operating ambient: 0°C +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 pressure 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 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.
