33. DO NOT OPERATE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES,
SUCH AS IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS,
GASES OR DUST. Compressors can create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Repairs
should be conducted only by authorized service centre.
EXTENSION CORD
Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept
the compressor’s plug. Replace or repair damaged cord. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and name plate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.

compressor with a damaged or frayed electrical cord or extension
cord. Inspect all electrical cords regularly. Never use in near water
or in any environment where electric shock is possible.
SAFETY VALVE
This compressor is equipped with a safety valve that is set to avoid
over-pressurization of the air tanks. This valve is factory pre-set and
will not function unless tank pressure reaches this pressure.
m WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST OR
ELIMINATE THIS SAFETY DEVICE. ANY ADJUSTMENTS
TO THIS VALVE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. If this
device requires service or maintenance, see an Authorized
BOSTITCH Service Centre.
Attachments and Accessories:
For any attachment or accessory you will be using with this
compressor, the maximum allowable recommended pressure
should be clearly marked on the product or should be clearly
noted within the operations manual. Exceeding the pressure
rating of these attachments (including, but not limited to: air
tools, air operated accessories, spray guns, air hose, air hose
connections, tires and other inflatables) could cause them to fly
apart or explode and could result in serious injury.
• Never exceed the maximum allowable pressure
recommended by the manufacturer of any attachment or
accessory you use with this compressor.
DUTY CYCLE:
To ensure long life of your BOSTITCH air compressor, do not
operate on more than the duty cycle indicated on the technical
data plate. If, for example, this air compressor pumps air more
than 50% of one hour, then the compressor’s capability is less
than the air delivery required by the application. Always match
the air volume requirements of the attachment or accessory
with the air volume delivery of the compressor.
To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor
is designed for intermittent operation as indicated on the
technical dataplate (for example, S3-25 means 2.5 minutes ON,
7.5 minutes OFF).
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND MAKE
THEM AVAILABLE TO OTHER USERS OF
THIS TOOL!
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The information contained in this Instruction Manual is
designed to assist you in the safe operation and maintenance
of the compressor. Some illustrations in this Instruction Manual
may show details or attachments that differ from those on your
own compressor.
INSTALLATION
Remove the compressor from its packing, make sure it is in
perfect condition, checking if it was damaged during transport,
and carry out the following operations:
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
Single-phase compressors are supplied with an electrical
cable and a two-pole & earth plug. The compressor must be
connected to a grounded power socket.
IMPORTANT: Never use the ground socket instead of the
neutral wire. The ground connection must be made to meet
safety standards (EN 60204). The plug of the power cable must
not be used as a switch, but must be fitted in a power socket
controlled by a suitable differential switch (thermal breaker).
m DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IMPROPER
GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available
outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified
electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified
electrician.

PREPARATION FOR USE
PRE-START CHECKLIST
1. Ensure the On/Off switch (6) is in the OFF position.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit
receptacle. See Electrical Connection (above).
3. Ensure air tank is drained, see Draining Air Tank under
Maintenance.
4. Ensure the drain valve (2) is closed.
5. Ensure safety valve (9) is functioning properly, see Checking
Safety Valve under Maintenance.
6. Turn regulator knob (4) anticlockwise until fully closed.
Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 bar (0 psi).
7. Attach hose and accessories.
m WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose
in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose
whip.
8. Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels)
and securely mounted. Do not use compressor until all items
have been verified.
m WARNING: Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes
a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s
maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The
regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum
pressure rating.
INITIAL SET-UP
m WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read and
understand this instruction manual for safety, operation and
maintenance instructions.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
m WARNING: Risk of property damage. Serious damage may
result if the following break-in instructions are not closely
followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put
into service for the first time and when the check valve or a
compressor pump/motor has been replaced.
1. Ensure the On/Off switch (6) is in the OFF position.
m CAUTION: If hose is not connected to Quick Connect body,
pull coupler back until it clicks to prevent air from escaping
through the quick connect.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit
receptacle. See Voltage and Circuit Protection under
Installation.
3. Open the drain valve (anticlockwise) fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank
during the break-in period.
4. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position. The compressor
will start.
5. Run the compressor for 20 minutes.
6. After 20 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise.
The tank will fill to cut-out pressure and the motor will stop.
7. Compressed air will be available until it is used or bled off.
STARTING
Check that the mains power matches that indicated on the
electrical data-plate - the permissible tolerance range is +/-5%.
Turn or press into position “0”. Fit the plug in the power socket
and start the compressor, moving the On/Off switch into
position “I”.
The compressor is fully automatic, and is controlled by the
pressure switch which stops it when tank pressure reaches
maximum value and restarts it when it falls to minimum value.
The pressure difference between maximum and minimum
values is usually about 2.4 bar (35 psi). E.g.: the compressor
stops when it reaches approximately 13.8 bar (200 psi) -
maximum operating pressure) and restarts automatically when
the pressure inside the tank drops to 11.4 bar (165 psi).
After connecting the compressor to the power line, run it to
maximum pressure and check exactly how the machine is
operating.
m WARNING: The head/cylinder/delivery tube unit can reach
high temperatures. Take care when working near these parts,
and do not touch them to avoid possible burns.
IMPORTANT
The electro-compressors must be connected to a power socket
protected by a suitable differential switch (thermal breaker).
The motor is equipped with a thermal overload protector
located inside the winding - this stops the compressor when
motor temperature reaches excessively high values. If the
thermal overload protector is tripped, place the switch in the
"Off" (0) position. Unplug the compressor until it has completely
cooled. When cool, reattach the plug to the power supply
and move the switch to the "On" (I) position. The compressor
should start normally. If not contact your nearest service centre
immediately.
ADJUSTING OPERATING PRESSURE
You do not have to use the maximum operating pressure at
all times. On the contrary, the pneumatic tool being used
often requires less pressure. On compressors supplied with
a pressure reducer, operating pressure must be correctly
adjusted.
Adjust pressure to the required value by turning the knob (4)
clockwise to increase pressure and anti-clockwise to reduce
it. When you have obtained optimum pressure, lock the knob
by pressing it downward. For pressure reducers equipped
without a pressure gauge, the set pressure can be seen on the
graduated scale located on the reducer body.
On pressure reducers equipped with a pressure gauge,
pressure can be seen on the gauge itself.

WHAT TO DO IF SMALL
MALFUNCTIONS OCCUR
Air losses
These can be caused by poor tightness of a union - check all
unions, wetting them with soapy water.
Compressor not starting
If the compressor has trouble starting, check the following :
- Does mains power match that of the data-plate?
- Are power cable extensions of adequate diameter or length?
- Is the work environment too cold? (under 0°C)
- Is power supplied to the electrical line?
- Are sockets properly connected?
- Are the thermal breaker and fuses in good condition?
Compressor not stopping
- If the compressor does not stop when maximum pressure
is reached, the tank safety valve comes into operation. A
compressor with a faulty safety valve must NEVER be used -
contact your nearest service centre immediately.
IMPORTANT
- Do not on any account unscrew any connection while the tank
is pressurised .
- Always check if the tank is pressure free.

THESE COMPRESSORS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED FOR
INTERMITTENT USE. THEY SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR

STORING THE PACKED AND UNPACKED
COMPRESSOR
For the whole time that the compressor is not used before
unpacking it, store it in a dry place at a temperature between
+5°C and + 45°C and sheltered away from weather. For the
whole time that the compressor is not used after unpacking
it, disconnect from the mains supply, drain the air tank place
sheets over it to protect it from dust, which may settle on the
components.
PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS
Make sure you always use pneumatic tubes for compressed air
with maximum pressure characteristics that are adequate for
the compressor. Do not attempt to repair tubes if faulty.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE ANY
