Remove compressor from packaging and check for damage or missing parts. Report any
problems to Axminster Power Tool Centre’s Customer Services Department.
Fit the wheels and air filter if not already fitted. Remove the oil filler plug and fill with a good
quality SAE 15W40 lubricating oil until the level is in line with the circle marked on the oil
level indicator.
The compressor is now ready for use.
Assembly Instructions...
Safety Precautions...
1. Always perform pre-operation checks before starting up the compressor.
2. Never leave inflammable objects or materials near to the compressor.
3. Always check oil level before using the compressor.
4. The cylinder, cylinder head and delivery pipe become hot during use. Do not touch these items
while the compressor is running. Allow to cool thoroughly after shut-down before handling.
5. Do not operate above the maximum working pressure of 120 psi (8 bar).
6. Avoid using the compressor with an extension cable; this may reduce the supply voltage and make
the motor overheat.
7. Switch the compressor on and off by using the pressure switch knob (See pages 06-08); only
switch off at the mains in case of emergency.
8. Drain water from tank every day.
9. If the compressor shuts down through overload or overheating check the reason for the shut-down
before re-starting.

Department.
11. Do not remove parts from the compressor whilst it is running.
12. Do not operate the compressor with protective covers removed or damaged.
13. When spray painting always work in a well-ventilated area and never close to open flames.
14. Never direct a jet of compressed air towards people or animals. Keep children and animals away
from the compressor.
15. Do not use on an inclined surface.
16. Only use in ambient temperatures between –10˚C and +40˚C.
17. Only operate on 230 volt supply and with maximum fuse rating of 13 amps.

Operating Instructions...
The outlet air pressure can be regulated by rotating the regulator knob clockwise to
increase the pressure and anticlockwise to reduce it. Do not leave the regulator set at
maximum setting unnecessarily; reduce the setting by about two turns after finishing and
then re-set to the required pressure when starting work again.
Connect the compressor to the mains supply and switch on by pulling the on/off knob
upwards. The first time you start up the compressor leave it running for about 10 minutes
with the delivery cock fully open. After that, close the cock and check that the compressor
pressurises the tank and shuts off when the maximum tank pressure is reached.
The compressor is automatic in operation; the pressure switch shuts the motor off when the
maximum tank pressure is reached and re-starts it when the pressure drops below a pre-set
level. The cut-in and cut-out pressures are factory set and should not need to be altered.
It is advisable to fully drain the air from the tank if the compressor is left unused overnight,
this will prevent the build-up of water in the tank.
A few do’s and don’ts:
Do not use dirty or non detergent oil.
Do not operate compressor in an ambient temperature above +40˚C.
Do not operate in a badly ventilated area.
Do keep the air filter clean.
Servicing and Maintenance...
Daily:
Drain water from tank.
Weekly:
Check oil level and top-up if necessary.
Monthly:
Remove and clean the air filter elements. Do not use the compressor without the air filter
fitted.
Six Monthly (or after 500 hours):
Change the oil. With the oil still warm place a suitable container underneath the oil drain
plug then remove the plug (see Fig A page 12) and tilt the compressor to the side, (to drain
the oil for the AWBDC30 remove the oil filer plug and tilt the compressor upwards)
(See Fig B page 12), drain the oil right out. Replace the oil drain plug for the AWBDC20 and
refill to the level mark on the sight glass. Replace the oil filler plug.
Caution: Do Not over-tighten the oil drain plug nut.

WServicing and Maintenance...
Yearly (or after 1000 hours):
(a) Replace the air filter element.
(b) Check and clean the intake and delivery valves.
(c) Check the non-return valve and replace the seal between the crankcase and cover if
necessary.
When components are removed for servicing, take the opportunity to fit new seals.
N.B.(b) and (c) should be undertaken by a competent service engineer.

Trouble Shooting...
Tank pressure drops.
The pressure switch
valve leaks when the
compressor is
stopped.
Leakage at
connections or joints.
Non-return valve seal
dirty or defective.
Set the compressor to maximum pressure.
Switch off and brush a soapy water solution
onto all connections and joints. Look for
bubbles. Tighten connections or joints where
leakage is visible.

valve seal. If necessary, replace the seal.
Re-assemble.
Press the reset button on the current over-load
and wait for a minute. The motor will run when
it has cooled.
Wait for compressor to cool down.
Disassemble the head and replace any broken
components. Carefully clean all sealing
surfaces before re-assembling.
Stop the compressor and contact Axminster
Power Tool Centre.
Stop the compressor quickly. Release any air
in tank and replace the pressure switch.
Contact Axminster Power Tool Centre.
