General Safety Rules
Warning! Read all instructions Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term
"power tool" in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) power
tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
Save These Instructions
1) Work Area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
3) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.

6
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
4) Power Tool Use And Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) aintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from intended could result in a hazardous

Basic Compressor Operation
Important Note: This manual is provided to
allow the correct assembly and basic safe
operation of the compressor. It must be read in
conjunction with the manual that is supplied
with any other accessory intended for use with
this compressor. For more detailed information
on the use of compressors and accessories, we
strongly recommend that you purchase a good
quality publication, in order to allow you to use
this product to its full potential.
The electric motor drives an air pump which
draws in air from the atmosphere and delivers it
into the air receiver tank through the air receiver
tank supply tube. When the air pressure in the
air receiver tank reaches the operating pressure
of 8 Bar the pressure switch operates and
switches OFF the mains supply to the motor. At
the same time the air that is in the pump
cylinder, air receiver tank, supply tube and the
pressure switch is discharged. This
depressurises the pump and the pressure
regulating system allowing the pump to re-start
when the air pressure in the air receiver tank
falls below the minimum operating pressure of 6
Bar. The pressure switch is fitted with a delayed
discharge valve which will start the air pump
motor. The pressure relief safety valve is set to
operate at 8.5 Bar and is connected directly
onto the air receiver tank and will operate if the
set pressure of 8.5 Bar is exceeded should the
pressure switch fail.
Overload Protection
This compressor is fitted with an overload
protection device, In the event that the motor
becomes too hot a thermal protection device
will cut the mains supply to the motor. When the
motor temperature returns to normal, the mains
supply will be restored automatically.
Preparing For Use
Before connecting your compressor to the
mains supply, check the following:-
• The mains voltage is 230V.
• The ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (lower)
position.
• The pressure regulator should be set at its
lowest setting, i.e. turned fully anticlockwise.
• If the machine has not been used for 24
hours or so, open the drain valve to drain any
condensate which may have accumulated.
When clear, close the valve, finger tight.
Important: If the receiver is under pressure,
keep your hands well away from the air being
expelled.... remember, compressed air is
dangerous!
Warning! Before connecting any air tool, make
sure you have read and fully understood the
manufacturers instruction booklet for the tool
being used.
Also ensure that the tool is compatible with the
compressor and hose specifications.
If the pressure rating of the tool is less than 8
bar, the pressure regulator must be used to
adjust the output pressure.
Switching On and Off
Warning! Switching On & Off must be done
using the On/Off switch mounted on the
compressor. Switching the compressor Off at
the mains supply can damage the motor and
will invalidate the guarantee.
Before switching on the power supply to the
compressor check that the On/Off switch is in
the Off position (pressed in) (Fig.3).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fig 3

Connect the compressor to a suitable 13A
mains supply. Switch on the compressor by
pulling up the On/Off switch (Fig.6). The
compressor will now start.
When the air receiver tank is pressurised to its
working capacity the compressor will
automatically switch off. When the compressor
switches off there will be the sound of leaking
air while the pressure regulating system is
depressurised, this will last for only a few
seconds and is quite normal. Check all valves
and regulators for leaks. Note during extended
periods of use the air receiver tank supply tube
will become hot.
Connecting Hoses & Accessories
Warning! Do not operate accessories at an air
pressure greater than the maximum rated air
pressure for the accessory.
Connect a hose to the compressor using the
hose to compressor quick release connector
(Fig.7).
When using the regulated air output first
determine the working pressure of the
accessory by referring to the accessory manual.
Slowly open the air outlet pressure regulator
(Fig.8) at the same time observing the air outlet
pressure gauge until the pressure gauge reads
the minimum pressure for the accessory.
Fine adjustments to the air pressure can be
made until the accessory is working at its
optimum performance.
When the correct operating air pressure has
been set, the air outlet pressure regulator can be
locked by tightening the locking ring (Fig.9).
