2.4 Operation

Warning

After prolonged use, the outer casing of the compressor becomes very hot. Do not touch 
the compressor casing.

Compressed air is dangerous if misused and can prove fatal. Avoid all bodily contact with 
compressed air.

2.4.1 Starting/Stopping
Plug the compressor into a mains power outlet socket of the correct voltage and fitted
with a 13 A fuse.

The compressor ON/OFF button is located on top of the pressure switch housing –
see Fig. 2.2. Pull the switch up to turn on the compressor. When switched on, the
compressor runs until the maximum working pressure is reached and than
automatically switches off. As air is used, the pressure drops until the minimum
operating pressure is reached, at which point the compressor automatically switches
on. 

Caution

. The pressure switch is set at the factory and should not be adjusted.
