SAFETY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. The compressor should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The
compressor is equipped with a three-core cable and three-pin grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type socket.
Never disassemble the compressor or carry out other connections to the pressure switch. WARNING – the grounding must be
carried out according to EN 60204 norms.
EXTENSION CABLE Use only three-way extension cables that have three-pin connecting plugs and three-pole sockets that
accept the compressor plug. Do not use extension cables that are damaged or squashed. An under rated cable will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table shows the correct size to use depending on the
length according to the following parameters (size in [mm 2 ] for a cable with maximum length of 20 mt.):
220/230V - 1,5 mm

110/120V - 2,5 mm

INSTALLATION
Fit the suction cups underneath the base of the unit as indicated. Position the compressor on a flat surface or one with a max.
inclination of 10° in a well-ventilated area. If the surface is sloping and smooth, make sure that the compressor does not move
while in operation. If the compressor operates on a shelf or the edge of a stand, ensure that it may not fall off by securing it
appropriately.
START-UP Ensure that the knob situated in the upper part of the compressor is turned to "0". Put the plug into the power socket
and turn the knob to "I". Attach the rubber hose or the spiral type hose to the appropriate fitting situated near the pressure
switch. The compressor operates completely automatically and is controlled by the pressure switch
which stops it when the pressure inside the tank reaches the maximum pressure and starts it again when the pressure returns
to the minimum level. The difference in pressure is usually 2 bar (29 PSI). After having connnected the compressor to the
electrical power supply line, load to the maximum pressure and check the correct efficiency of the machine.
ADJUSTING THE WORKING PRESSURE
It is not always necessary to use the maximum working pressure. On the contrary, a pneumatic tool usually requires less
pressure. Adjust the pressure to the required level by turning the knob clockwise to increase it and anti-clockwise to decrease
it. The pressure setting is shown on the pressure gauge of the compressor.
MAINTENANCE
Before servicing the compressor, make sure that: -the power cable is unplugged from the electricity supply -there is no pressure
in the air receiver The compressor generates condensation that accumulates in the tank. The condensate must be drained
from the tank at least once a week by opening the condensate drain valve underneath it. Be careful in case there is any
compressed air within the cylinder as the water could burst out with some force. Recommended pressure 1-2 bar max.
Daily maintenance: pay attention that there is no abnormal sound vibration or high temperature phenomenon. Open the
drain valve, the tank must be emptied at least once a day.
Weekly maintenance: clean the condensate drain valve and replace it after approximately 500 working hours. Pull the ring
of the relief valve to check its performance. Check and make sure the pressure switch and one-way valve are working properly
or not. Check all the screws on the machine, loosen them, tighten them.
Maintenance by season: check all screws of the car, if loose, tighten them. Clean the surface check for loss of all connected
parts. Check the valve plate.
FAUL FINDING
Loss of air This may be due to the poor seal of one of the fittings. Check all the fittings by wetting them with soapy water. It is
normal for the pressure to drop when the compressor is not used, whatever the case (roughly 1 bar every 5 minutes).
The compressor fails to start If the compressor has difficulty in starting, make sure that: -all the wires are correctly connected -
the mains voltage is efficient (plug connected correctly, magneto-thermal switch, fuses unblown) The compressor fails to stop
If the compressor fails to stop when the maximum pressure is reached, the tank safety valve will cut in. It is necessary to contact
your local authorised service centre.
WARNING -Do not drill, weld or intentionally deform the compressed air tank. -Ambient temperature for correct operation of
the compressor is between 0°C and 25°C (max.45°C). -When temporarily not in use, turn the ON/OFF switch to "0" (OFF). -Be
aware that some components of the compressor such as the head and delivery hoses, may reach high temperatures,
therefore do not touch them to avoid the risk of burning. - Transport the compressor by lifting it with the appropriate grips or
handles. -If the compressor is used for painting: a) do not work in an enclosed area or near naked flame b) ensure that the
area in which you are working has adequate ventilation c) protect nose and mouth with an appropriate mask -Do not use
the compressor to threaten people or animals to avoid serious injuries. -Always unplug the compressor from the power socket
when you have finished using it.
