maintenance and regular cleaning. Before carrying out any work on the
compressor, the following steps must be taken:
•
The On/Off switch must be in the “OFF” position (pressed in).
•
The plug must be disconnected from the power supply.
•
The pressure chamber must be depressurized. To do this, carefully
open the drainage cock beneath the tank (Fig. E).
Cleaning
Caution! Do not use water or a high-pressure cleaner to clean the
device. There is a risk of electric shock!
Clean the housing regularly with a soft cloth, preferably after every use.
Keep the ventilation slits free of dust and dirt. If it is not possible to re-
move the dirt in this way, use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.
Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water etc. These sol-
vents can damage the plastic parts.
Cleaning/replacing air filter
It is recommended to dismantle the intake filter every 50 hours of oper-
ation and to clean the filter element by blowing it out with compressed
air (Fig. J). If the compressor is operated in a clean environment, the filter
element should be replaced at least once a year; this must be done more
frequently in a dusty environment.
Draining condensed water
The compressor produces condensed water, which collects in the tank.
Every time the device is used, the condensed water must be drained from
the tank by opening the drainage cock (14) beneath the tank and dis-
posed of in an environmentally compatible manner.
Important:
Take care to ensure that the drainage cock is not fully opened. If there is
compressed air inside the tank the drainage cock and the condensed wa-
ter may be discharged at high pressure.
