1. PRECAUTIONS
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m. corresponds
to the ACOUSTIC POWER value stated on the yellow
label located on the compressor, minus 20 dB.
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.
● Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4
meters between the compressor and the work area.
● Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor
during painting operations indicates that the distance
is too short.
● Insert the plug of the electric cable in a socket of
suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying
with current regulations.
● For three-phase versions have the plug fitted by a
qualified electrician according to local regulations.
The first time you start the compressor, check that
the direction of rotation is correct and matches that
indicated by the arrow on the conveyor (Fig. 10,
the air must be conveyed towards the head of the
compressor).
● 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.
● Always use the switch of the pressure switch to
switch off the compressor.
● Always use the handle to move the compressor.
● When operating, the compressor must be placed
on a stable, horizontal surface to guarantee correct
lubrication.
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 inexpert persons to use the compressor.
Keep children and 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.
● Do not position flammable or nylon/fabric objects
closed to and/or on the compressor.
● Never clean the compressor with flammable liquids
or solvents. Check that you have unplugged the
compressor and clean with a damp cloth only.
● 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.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

● To avoid overheating of the electric motor,
this 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.
● To facilitate restart of the compressor, in addition
to the operations indicated, it is important to
return the button of the pressure switch to the
