AIR COMPRESSORS

DIRECT & BELT DRIVEN MANUALS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this MAC-AFRIC compressor which is designed to
supply compressed air to air powered tools.

IMPORTANT FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING

THE CORRECT SIZE COMPRESSOR

•

CFM

(cubic feet per minute) requirement: probably the single biggest consideration when

choosing the correct compressor. What CFM will your air compressor need to produce in
order to supply sufficient air flow at the required pressure for the air tool operation?

•

RULE OF THUMB

– always multiply your air tool CFM rating by 1.2 in order to choose the

appropriate size compressor.

•

TANK SIZE –

choosing the correct size tank is very important! With the range of sizes

available from 6 litres up to 500 litres it is vitally important that the correct size is chosen
for the intended application.

•

Professional, semi-professional or D.I.Y use –

all compressors comes with specific

warranties to cover DIY/home use or commercial use. Make sure that you choose the
correct size compressor for your application.

Before attempting to use this product, please read this manual thoroughly and follow the instructions carefully.
In doing so you will ensure the safe operation of the compressor.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using your compressor it is in your own interest to read and pay attention
to the following safety rules:

COMPRESSED AIR IS DANGEROUS- Never direct a jet of air at people or animals.

II.

Do not operate your air compressor with any guards removed.

III.

Electrical or mechanical repairs should only be carried out by a qualified electrician/
engineer. If you have a problem, please contact your nearest Adendorff branch or
alternatively our Head-Office service department on (011) 434 7000 or 0861 233636

IV.

Before attempting any repair ensure pressure is expelled from the air receiver and
disconnected from the electricity supply.

Do not leave pressure in the air receiver overnight or when transporting.

VI.

Do not adjust or tamper with any safety valves. The maximum working pressure of the
compressor is clearly stated on the machine.

VII.

Exercise caution when transporting the machine to avoid tipping the machine over.

VIII.

Do not operate in a wet/damp environment.

IX.

Locate your air compressor on a firm flat surface with AVPs and ensure an adequate supply
of clean air is available for the pump unit.

Do not exert any strain on electrical cables and ensure that air hoses are not tangled or
wrapped around machinery etc.

XI.

The cylinder head and delivery pipes of your compressor become quite hot during operation. Do
not touch. After switching off remember to leave an adequate cool-down period before touching.

XII.

Ensure that any equipment/tool used in conjunction with your compressor has a safe
working pressure exceeding the output pressure set on the machine.

XIII.

When disconnecting air hoses or other equipment from your compressor ensure that the air
supply is turned off at the machine outlet and expel all pressurised air from within the air
hose and other equipment attached to it.

XIV.

If using your compressor for paint spraying:

never spray close to any source of flame or heat.

ii)

always ensure that the spraying area has adequate fresh air ventilation.

iii)

Hazardous paints require special apparatus (see paint manufacturers

recommendations).

XV.

Never let anyone operate the compressor unless they have had the necessary training.

XVI.

Permanently installed pipework systems should be designed and installed by a competent
engineer.
