▪ 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.
6.3 Things you should know
▪ To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor is designed for intermittent
operation. 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.
▪ All the compressors are fitted with a safety valve that is tripped in the case of
malfunctioning of the pressure switch in order to assure machine safety.
▪ When fitting a tool, the flow of air in output must be switched off.
▪ When using compressed air, you must know and comply with the safety precautions to be
adopted for each type of application (inflation, pneumatic tools, painting, washing with
water-based detergents only, etc.).
7 ASSEMBLY
7.1 Point to know when setting up the compressor
▪ Examine the machine for signs of transit damage. Report any damage immediately to the
company which delivered the compressor.
▪ The compressor should be set up near the working consumer.
▪ Avoid long air lines and long supply lines (extensions).
▪ Make sure the intake air is dry and dust-free.
▪ Do not set up the compressor in damp or wet rooms.
▪ The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms (with good ventilation and an ambient
temperature from +5°C to +40°C). There must be no dust, acids, vapors, explosive gases
or inflammable gases in the room.
▪ The compressor is designed to be used in dry rooms. It is prohibited to use the
compressor in areas where work is conducted with sprayed water.
7.2 Fitting the wheels
Fit the supplied wheels as shown in Fig. 3 & 4:
7.3 Fitting the supporting foot
Fit the supplied rubber stopper as shown in Fig. 5.
8 USE
8.1 Voltage
The compressor is equipped with a mains cable with shock-proof plug. This can be connected
to any 230V ~ 50Hz shock-proof socket which is protected by a 16 A fuse. Before you use the
machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies with the specifications on the rating plate.
Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede
motor start-up. In the case of low temperatures below +5°C, motor start-up is jeopardized as a
result of stiffness.
8.2 Switching ON/OFF
To switch on the equipment set the On/Off push the switch (ref. 8.
Push the On/Off switch (ref. 8) again to switch off the equipment.
8.3 Adjusting the pressure
▪ You can adjust the pressure on the pressure gauge (ref. 6) using the pressure regulator
(ref. 7).
▪ The set pressure can be taken from the quicklock coupling (ref. 5).
