SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This symbol indicates warnings to be read before using the product so as
to prevent injury to the user.
Compressed air is a potentially dangerous form of energy; always take
great care when using the compressor and its accessories.
Warning: the compressor may restart when power is restored following
a blackout.
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE's value of 2 m. corresponds to the ACOUSTIC
POWER's value stated on the yellow label located on the compressor,
minus 14 dB.
BEFORE USE
- 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 with dust,
acids, vapors, explosive or flammable gases.
- Keep the work area free. When operating, the compressor must be placed on a
stable surface.
- Safety goggles should be worn when using the compressor in order to protect the
eyes against any foreign bodies lifted by the jet of air.
- If possible, when using air-powered accessories, wear safety clothing.
- Always maintain a safety distance of at least 2 meters between the compressor
and the work area.
- Check for correspondence between the compressor plate data with the actual
specifications of the electrical system. A variation of ± 10% with respect of the
rated value is allowed.
- Insert the plug of the electrical cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and
frequency complying with current regulations.
- Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and with a cable cross-
section of not less than 1.5 mm . Use of extension cables of different length and
2
cross-section and also of adapters and multiple sockets should be avoided.
- Always use the handle to move the compressor.

CONNECTING ACCESSORIES TO THE COMPRESSOR
Before connecting accessories, always make sure that the compressor

All the accessories are connected to the compressor using the rubber
hose (12) fitted with fast connects.
Connect the accessory required to end (C) of the rubber hose (fig. 3) pushing
fitting D of the accessory firmly inside C. A click indicates that the accessory
is connected.
When you have finished using the compressor, disconnect the rubber hose
from the accessory (fig. 4) pulling back the ring-nut of connector C.

- When using compressed air, you must know and comply with the safety
precautions to be adopted for each type of application (inflation, air-powered
tools, painting, washing with water-based detergents only, clinching, etc.).
- 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.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

- 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 open or tamper with any part of the compressor. Contact an authorized
