parts have to be properly fitted in order to be sure of
meeting all the machineʼs requirements. Damaged sa-
fety devices and parts have to be repaired or replaced
by a customer service workshop unless otherwise sta-
ted in this manual. Damaged switches have to be repla-
ced by a customer service workshop. Do not use any
tools with a switch that cannot be turned on and off.
15.Important!
- For your own safety, use only such accessories and
auxiliary equipment as are listed in this manual or which
are recommended and specified by the manufacturer.
There is a high risk of suffering a serious accident if you
use tools or accessories which are not listed in this ma-
nual or in the catalogue of recommended tools and ac-
cessories.
16.Have an electrician carry out repairs
- Repairs are to be carried out only by a qualified electri-
cian. If not, the user may suffer serious accidents.
17.Noise
Use ear muffs when you use the compressor.
18.Replacing the power cable
To prevent injury, damaged power cables may only be
replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified electrician.
4.2 Safety instructions for working with
compressed air and blasting guns
Compressors and lines reach high temperatures during
operation. Avoid contact! Risk of burns!
Gases or vapours drawn in by the compressor have to
be kept free of constituents that may cause fire or explo-
sions inside the compressor.
When you disconnect the hose coupling, hold the cou-
pling element in your hand to prevent injury from the
whiplashing hose.
Wear goggles when working with the blow-out gun. Inju-
ries may easily result from foreign bodies and blasted
parts.
Never point the blow-out gun at other persons and ne-
ver use it to clean clothes that are still being worn.
4.3. Safety information for paint spraying
Never process paints or solvents with a flash point be-
low 55°C.
Never heat paints or solvents.
It is imperative to use filtering equipment (face masks)
when processing harmful liquids. Note also the informa-
tion concerning safety precautions published by the ma-
nufacturers of these liquids.
Smoking is prohibited during the spraying operation and
in the work room. Paint vapours are highly flammable.
Make sure there are no open fires or open lights in the
work room. Sparking machines are not to be used.
Do not keep or consume food and drink in the work
room. Paint vapours are harmful.
The details and designations of the Ordinance on Ha-
zardous Substances, which are displayed on the outer
packaging of the processed material, must be observed.
Additional protective measures are to be undertaken if
necessary, particularly the wearing of suitable clothing
and masks.
The work room has to be bigger than 30 m3and have
sufficient ventilation for spraying and drying. Never
spray into the wind.
It is always imperative to observe the regulations of your
local police authorities when spraying combustible or
hazardous substances.
Never process media such as white petroleum spirit, bu-
tyl alcohol and methylene chloride with the PVC pressu-
re hose (reduced life span).
4.4 Operating pressure vessels
An operator of a pressure vessel is required to keep the
pressure vessel in good working order, to operate it pro-
perly, to supervise its use, to carry out essential mainte-
nance and repair work immediately, and to introduce es-
sential safety measures according to requirements.
The supervisory authorities may order essential safegu-
ards from case to case.
A pressure vessel may not be operated if it has any de-
fects which constitute a danger to employees or third
parties.
The pressure vessel must be regularly inspected for
damage, e.g. rust. If you discover any damage, then
please contact the customer service workshop.
Keep these safety instructions in a safe place.
5. Assembly and starting
Important!
You must fully assemble the appliance before using it
for the first time.
5.1 Fitting the wheels (3)
Fit the supplied wheels as shown in Fig. 4.
5.2 Fitting the supporting foot (5)
Fit the supplied rubber stopper as shown in Fig. 5.
5.3 Fitting the air filter (1)
Remove all the transportation stops with a screwdriver or
similar and fasten the air filter (1) securely to the appliance
with the screws.
5.4Replacing the oil sealing plug (9)
Remove the transportation cover from the oil filler opening
with a screwdriver and insert the supplied sealing plug (9)
into the oil filler opening.
5.5 Voltage
The compressor is equipped with a mains cable with
shock-proof plug. This can be connected to any 230V ~
50Hz shock-proof socket which is protected by a 16 A fuse.
Before you use the machine, make sure that the mains
voltage complies with the specifications on the rating plate.
Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a
drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up. In the case
of low temperatures below +5°C, motor start-up is jeopar-
dized as a result of stiffness.
5.6 ON/OFF switch (11)
To switch on the compressor, pull out the red knob (11). To
switch off the compressor, press the red knob (11) in again.
(Fig. 2)
5.7 Setting the pressure switch (12)
The pressure switch is set at the factory.
Switch-on pressure 5 bar
Switch-off pressure 8 bar
