NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
If there is compressed air in the compressed air tank, the condensed water is
released at high pressure when the drain cock is opened.
− Reduce the tank pressure before you open the drain cock.
− Always be careful when opening the drain cock and don’t unscrew it all
the way.
NOTICE!
Risk of pollution!
The condensed water contains oil. If it ends up in the environment or the sewer
system, it will pollute the environment.
− Only dispose of condensed water containing oil as hazardous waste in
accordance with valid local regulations.
The manufacturer recommends to regularly drain any condensed
water depending on how intensely you use the compressor (e.g.
weekly).
1. Make sure that the On/Off switch

is set to the “
OFF 0
” position (see
Fig. G
).
2. Before draining the condensed water, pull the mains plug out of the socket to dis-
connect the compressor from the power supply.
3. Let the compressor cool off completely.
4. Reduce the tank pressure to approx. 1–2 bar by using the enclosed pneumatic tool
to vent the compressor.
5. Place a collecting container under the drain cock
10
for condensed water (see
Fig. A
).
6. Carefully open the drain cock for condensed water by hand; if applicable, use a dry
cloth for better grip.
7. Let the condensed water drain completely into the collecting container.
8. Close the drain cock for condensed water.
