Safety notes
Attention! When using this compressor, the following safety measures must be
taken in order to provide protection against electric shocks, risks of injury and fire.
Read and take note of these instructions before you use the device.
This device is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with impaired
physical, sensory or mental abilities or who lack experience and/or knowledge unless
they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have been instructed
by such a person on how to use the device. Supervise children to make sure that they
do not play with the device.
1. Keep your work area orderly!
− Disorganisation in the work area poses a risk of accident.
2. Take any environmental factors into account!
− Do not expose the compressor to rain. Do not operate the compressor in wet or
damp rooms. Ensure good lighting. Do not use the compressor in the vicinity of
flammable liquids or gases.
3. Protect yourself against electrical shock!
− Avoid physical contact with grounded parts such as pipes, radiators, stoves and
refrigerators.
4. Keep children away!
− Ensure that other persons do not touch the compressor or the cable; keep them
away from your work area.
5. Store your compressor in a safe area!
− Store the unused compressor in a dry, enclosed room that is not accessible for
children.
6. Do not overload your compressor!
− It works better and more safely within the specified power range.
7. Wear suitable work clothing!
− Do not wear any loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. It could catch in moving parts.
When working outside, it is recommended that you wear rubber gloves and non-
slip footwear. If you have long hear, wear a hair net.
8. Do not use the cord for other purposes!
− Do not pull the compressor by the cord and do not use it to pull the plug out of
the socket. Protect the cord against heat, oil and sharp edges.
9. Take good care of your compressor!
− Keep your compressor clean to ensure that you can work safely and effectively.
Follow the maintenance guidelines. Check the plug and the cord regularly; if they
are damaged, have a qualified professional replace them. Check extension cords
regularly and replace damaged cords.

10 Safety
IRE
GB
10. Pull out the mains plug!
− If you are not using the device or before performing maintenance.
11. Prevent accidental start-up!
− Ensure that the switch is off when connecting to the power supply.
12. Extension cords outside!
− When outside, only use an extension cord that is approved for such use and
which is labelled accordingly.
13. Always remain attentive!
− Pay attention to what you are doing. Work in a reasonable manner. Do not use
the compressor if you are unable to concentrate.
14. Check your compressor for damage!
− Before you use the compressor, carefully check to make sure that the protective
devices or easily damaged parts are functioning properly and as intended. Check
to make sure that moving parts are functional, that they are not jammed and that
the parts are not damaged. All parts must be properly mounted to guarantee the
safety of the device. Damaged protective devices and parts must be professional-
ly repaired or replaced by a customer service workshop to the extent not other-
wise specified in the instruction manual. Damaged switches must be replaced by
a customer service workshop. Do not use any tools if the switch cannot be turned
on and off.
15. Attention!
− For your own safety, only use accessories and auxiliary equipment specified in
the instruction manual or recommended or specified by the manufacturer. Using
tools or accessories other than recommended in the instruction manual or cata-
logue may pose a risk of personal injury for you.
16. Repairs only by a qualified electrician!
− Repairs may only be performed by a qualified electrician; otherwise, there is a
risk of accident for the operator.
17. Noise!
− Wear ear protection when you use the compressor.
18. Replacement of the connection line!
− If the connection line is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an
electrician to avoid risks.

Preparation GBIRE
Safety notes for working with compressed air and blow guns
− The compressor and lines reach high temperatures during
operation. Touching them will result in burns.
− Keep the gases and vapours sucked in by the compressor free
of constituents that could cause fires or explosions in the com-
pressor.
− When releasing the hose coupling, firmly hold the hose cou-
pling piece by hand to avoid injury from the hose that is lash-
ing back.
− Wear safety glasses when working with the blow gun. Debris
and parts blown away could inflict injuries easily.
− Do not blast any persons or clothing being worn with the blow
gun.
Store the safety instructions in a safe place.
Preparation
Before you use the compressor, prepare the compressor and accessories as described
in the following chapters.
Checking the compressor and product contents
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
If you are not cautious when opening the packaging with
a sharp knife or other pointy object, you may quickly dam-
age the compressor.
− You should therefore be very careful when opening
the packaging.
1. Check to make sure that the delivery is complete (see Fig.A and B).
2. Take the compressor out of the packaging and check whether the compressor or
the individual parts exhibit damages. If this is the case, do not use the compressor.
Contact the manufacturer using the service address specified on the guarantee
card. Keep the original packaging for proper storage of the compressor.

12 Preparation
IRE
GB
Setting up the compressor
Observe the following notes when setting up the compressor:
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
If you set up the compressor in an unsuitable location, you
could damage it.
− Place the compressor on an easily accessible, level, dry
and sufficiently stable work surface. Do not place the
compressor along the edge of a surface, e.g. on a kerb.
− Avoid any build-up of heat by not setting the com-
pressor up directly against a wall or similar. Make sure
that the vents are not obstructed. During operation,
always place the compressor on the rubber feet so
that it rests on its side.
− Do not place the compressor on or near hot surfaces.
− Set the compressor up in a location with dry and
clean air. Don’t use it in wet rooms or in the rain.
Connecting the compressor
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
A faulty electrical installation or excessive mains voltage
may result in an electric shock.
− Only connect the compressor if the mains voltage of
the socket corresponds to the nameplate specification.
− Lay the mains cord so that it does not pose a tripping
hazard.
− Only connect the compressor to an easily accessible
socket so that you can quickly disconnect it from the
power supply in the event of a fault.
− The compressor complies with protection class 2. Only
connect it to a properly installed socket. Connection
to a multiple socket strip or multi-socket is impermis-
sible and increases the risk of fire.

13
Preparation GBIRE
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
If you connect the compressor at an ambient temperature
of below +5 °C, the motor will only start very slowly and
may be damaged.
− Only connect the compressor at an ambient tempera-
ture of at least +5 °C.

IRE
GB
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
Using the compressor improperly may damage it.
− Observe the designated type of operation: S3 15%
10min. This means that the compressor is intended
for intermittent operation without the influence of the
starting process and that the operating time may not
exceed 1.5 minutes (15 %) within a period of 10min.
− Use all hoses and fittings adequately in accordance
with the work pressure.
− Do not tilt the compressor while in operation. Only
leave it on the base in a horizontal position and do
not carry it while in operation.
You can use the compressor to supply various articles with compressor air, use the
compressor as a blow gun and use the vent valve during operation.
Supplying articles with compressed air
You can supply various articles such as bike and car tyres, balls and air mattresses
with compressed air. Proceed as follows:
1. Prepare the compressor (see chapter “Preparation”).
2. Make sure that the adapter 10 /11 /12 is properly inserted in the article's valve
and during operation, hold it so as to ensure that it cannot slip out of the valve.
3. Use the On/Off switch 3to switch on the compressor.
4. Press the trigger of the tyre fill gauge 8to supply the article with compressed air.
5. During operation, use the trigger to dose the compressed air.
6. Observe the pressure gauge during operation. Observe the maximum permissible
pressure for the respective article.
7. Once the desired pressure has been reached, release the trigger.
8. Use the On/Off switch to turn off the compressor.
9. Pull the adapter out of the valve.
10.Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
11. Push the trigger again to depressurise the compressor.
12. Clean the compressor (see chapter “Cleaning”).
