the head and the feed-through pipes may
reach high temperatures. Do not touch these
parts to avoid burns (fig. 12-13).
• Transport the compressor by lifting it or by
using the special grips or handles (fig. 5-6).
• Children and animals should be kept far away
from the area of operation of the machine.
• If you use the compressor to spray paint:
a) Do not work in enclosed spaces or near naked
flames.
b) Make sure that the environment in which you
will be working has dedicated ventilation.
c) Protect your nose and mouth with a dedicated
mask (fig. 21).
• Do not use the compressor when the electrical
cable or the plug is damaged, and instruct an
authorised Support Service to replace them
with an original part.
• When the compressor is placed on a surface
higher than the floor, it should be secured to
prevent it from falling down during operation.
• Do not put objects or your hands in the
protective covers to avoid physical damage
and damage to the compressor.
• Do not use the compressor as a blunt
instrument against persons, objects or
animals in order to prevent serious damage.
• If the compressor is no longer in use, always
take the plug out of the plug socket.
• Always make sure that compressed-air hoses
are used for compressed air and which are
characterised by a maximum pressure
adjusted to that of the compressor. Do not try
to repair the hose if it is damaged.
Electrical safety
Earthing regulations
This compressor has to be earthed while in use in
order to protect the operator against electrical
shocks. The compressor is provided with a two-
core cable plus an earth. The electrical connection
has to be made by a qualified technician. We
recommend never disassembling the compressor
and neither making any other connections into the
pressure regulator. Repairs should be carried out
by authorised Support Services or by other
qualified centres.
Never forget that the earthing core is the
green or the yellow/green wire. Never
connect this green wire to a terminal
under load.
Before replacing the plug of the feed, make sure
that the earth cable is connected. If in doubt,
please call in a qualified electrician and have the
earthing checked.
Electrical connection
Always check whether the input voltage of the
motor corresponds to the mains voltage indicated
on the specification plate. The compressors are
supplied with an electrical cable and a two-pole
plug + earth. It is important to connect the
compressor with an earthed plug socket. (fig. 9)
Never use the earth-wire instead of the
neutral (0-wire). The earthing should take
place in accordance with accident
prevention regulations.
power supply
• The motor is fitted with an overload switch
(15). If the compressor overloads, the
overload switch switches the equipment off
automatically to protect the compressor from
overheating. If the overload switch triggers,
switch off the compressor using the ON/OFF
switch (8) and wait until the compressor cools
down. Then press the overload switch (15)
and restart the compressor.
3. UsE
For homehold use only
NB: The information you will find in this manual
has been written to assist the operator in the use
and maintenance of the compressor. Some
illustrations in this manual show details which may
differ from those of your compressor.
Installation
After having taken the compressor out of its
packaging (fig. 1) and having checked that it is in
perfect condition, and having noted that no
damage occurred during transport, the following
acts should be performed. If not yet fitted, fit the
rubber feet and the wheels on the tank according
to the instructions represented in fig. 2. Place the
compressor on a flat surface or at a maximum
slope of 10° (fig.3), in a well ventilated area,
protected against atmospheric factors and not in
explosive surroundings. If the surface area is
sloping and smooth, make sure that the
