Instruction manual for owner’s use
(Translation of the original instructions)
Before using the compressor, read the instructions for use carefully and
comply with the following safety precautions. Consult this handbook if
you have any doubts regarding functioning.
Preserve all the documentation so that anyone who uses the compressor
can consult this beforehand.
1. SAFETY RULES
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 fol-
lowing a blackout.
THINGS TO DO
•
The compressor must be used in a suitable environment (well ventilated
with an ambient temperature of b5°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 com-
pressor and the work area.
•
Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor during painting oper-
ations 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.
•
Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and with
crosssection of at least 2,5 mm
2
.
•
The use of extension cables of different length and also of adapters and
multiple sockets should be avoided.
•
Always use the switch I/O 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.
THINGS NOT 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 com-
pressor 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 use the compressor outside.
•
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 ex-
perience 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.
•
Pay attention to the work being carried out. Use your common sense. Do
not stand on the compressor. Do not allow the compressor to operate
unattended.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
•
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 ma-
chine safety. The safety valve is set to avoid over-pressurization of the
air tanks. This valve is factory pre-set and will not function unless tank
pressure reaches this pressure. Do not attempt to adjust or eliminate
this safety device. Any adjustments to this valve could cause serious
injury. If this device requires service or maintenance, see an Authorized
Service Center.
•
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, pneu-
matic tools, painting, washing with water-based detergents only, etc.).
•
Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working pres-
sure of the pneumatic tool and connection pipes (with the compressor)
to be used, are compatible with the pressure set on the pressure regula-
tor and with the amount of air supplied by 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 Service Center.
•
The compressor’s performance is guaranteed for operation between 0
and 1000 meters above the sea level.

3. START-UP AND USE
•
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 power cable in a suitable socket checking that
the I/O switch located on the compressor is in the OFF «O» position.
•
At this point, the compressor is ready for use.
•
Operating on the I/O switch, the compressor starts, pumping air into the
receiver through the delivery pipe.
