WARNING! ENSURE YOU HAVE A FIRM GRIP ON THE
AIR HOSE WHEN CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING IT
FROM THE AIR COMPRESSOR, AS PRESSURISED AIR
IN THE TANK MAY CAUSE IT TO WHIP AROUND AND
INFLICT INJURY OR DAMAGE.

3. CONTROLS
OPERATION
Adjusting The Output Pressure
The output pressure of the regulated pressure outlet can be
adjusted to suit the air tool connected and the task at hand.
1. To do so, first decrease the
pressure to 0psi by turning
the pressure regulator anti-
clockwise.
2. Then turn the pressure
regulator clockwise until the
desired pressure is shown
on the regulated pressure
gauge.
WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST/MODIFY
THE SAFETY VALVE IN ANY WAY. THE SAFETY VALVE
INSTALLED ON THIS AIR COMPRESSOR IS DESIGNED
TO AUTOMATICALLY RELEASE PRESSURE IN CASE OF
EXCESS PRESSURE BUILD UP IN THE TANK.
Switching The Compressor On/Off
1. To switch the compressor
on, twist and pull the on/
off switch to the ‘I’ position.
Allow the motor to run and
the tank to fill up.
Note: The compressor will automatically cut off when the tank
pressure reaches 8bar and will automatically start up again when
the tank pressure drops to 6bar.
2. To switch the compressor off, twist and press the on/off switch
to the ‘0’ position.
Thermal Overload Protection
This Air Compressor is fitted with thermal protection and will shut
off to protect the compressor from overheating.
The compressor may also have shut off due to reaching max.
cut off pressure. If you are unsure, use an attached blow gun to
release some of the pressure until the tank pressure gauge drops
below 6bar. If the motor does not automatically start up, the unit
has overloaded and the thermal protection has activated.
If the thermal protection activates, switch off the compressor and
allow the compressor to cool down for 15 minutes before
restarting.
WARNING! ALLOW THE AIR COMPRESSOR TO COOL
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE.
WARNING! DO NOT CONTINUE USE OF THE UNIT
IF THE THERMAL PROTECTION ACTIVATES AGAIN
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RESET.

4. USAGE
ACP-4025
Shutting Down The Compressor
Do not turn the air compressor off by unplugging it from the mains
power as it may result in damage to the motor.
1. Turn the compressor off with the on/off
switch and then unplug the cord.
2. Attach a blow gun to the
compressor and use it to
discharge any remaining air
in the compressor tank.
3. Rotate the pressure regulator anti-
clockwise until it is fully closed; check
the regulated pressure gauge to ensure
that it reads 0psi.
4. Also turn on the air tool to
discharge any remaining
pressurised air in the air
hose.
5. Remove the air hose and any
other connected accessories.
WARNING! RELEASE ALL AIR PRESSURE FROM THE
TANK BEFORE OPENING THE DRAIN VALVE. TAKE CARE
WHEN DISCHARGING AIR THROUGH THE DRAIN VALVE
OR AIR OUTLETS. THE DISCHARGED AIR CAN CAUSE
DUST, STONES, OR ANY OTHER FOREIGN PARTICLES
TO BE BLOWN THROUGH THE AIR AT HIGH PRESSURE.
6. When no more air is released, open the
drain valve to release any accumulated
liquid from the tank.
7. Close the drain valve, allow the compressor to cool down, then
clean and store the unit.
Starting Up The Compressor
For best practice, the compressor should be run without any load
for 20 minutes before first use to lubricate the bearings and piston.
This procedure should also be performed if the compressor has
been stored for 6 months or more without operation.
1. Disconnect all air hoses
from the outlets and open
the drain valve fully with
a spanner to prevent
pressurised air buildup in the
tank.
2. Make sure the power switch
is in the off position. Plug
the power supply cord into a
mains outlet.
3. Switch the compressor on
and allow it to run for 20
minutes without any loads/
tools attached and allow any
liquid to drain from the tank.
4. Turn off the compressor and
close the drain valve. The
compressor is now ready for
use.
5. Attach the desired tool to one end of an air hose and the air hose
to an outlet depending on the tool or application.
6. Turn the compressor back
on and adjust the regulated
pressure to the desired level
once the pump has shut
off and the compressor has
reached cut-off pressure
(8bar).

WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the following, should
always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency,
before operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
This tool has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect the extension
lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead not suitable for
the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
The power supply for this product should be protected by a residual current device (rated at 30mA or less). A residual
current device reduces the risk of electric shock.
The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING! Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in
doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the
motor.
• Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or performing maintenance.
• Avoid using an extension cord with this product. Use additional air hose instead of an extension cord to prevent
power loss and possible damage to the motor. Use of an extension cord voids the warranty.
• To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, never spray flammable liquids in a confined area. If sparks come into
contact with petrol vapours or solvents, they may ignite the vapours and cause a fire or explosion.
• Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where
sparks or flames are present. Keep the compressor as far away from the spray area as possible.
• The solvents trichloroethane and methylene chloride can chemically react with the aluminium used in some paint
spray guns and form an explosion. If these solvents are used, ensure that only stainless steel spray equipment is
connected. The compressor is not affected by the use of these solvents.
• Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a compressor and do not use it for charging breathing
tanks.
• Do not use welding equipment in close proximity to the compressor. Do not weld anything to the air tank of the
compressor: this could dangerously weaken the tank and will void the warranty.
• Do not use the compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface; either situation could cause an
electric shock.
• Always maintain a safety distance of at least 3 meters between the compressor and the work area, Ensure that
the compressor is on a stable surface.
• Always use the handle to move the compressor.
• Never let the compressor come into contact with water or other liquids, as the appliance is live, this could cause
electrocution or short-circuits. Never use the appliance with bare feet, wet hands or wet feet.
• Never pull on the power cable to disconnect the plug from the power outlet or to move the compressor.
• The compressed air produced by the compressor cannot not be used for pharmaceutical, food or medical
purposes or to fill the air bottles of scuba divers.
• Do not cover the air inlets on the compressor.
• 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
explosions inside the compressor.
• Do not attempt to adjust/modify the safety valve in any way. The safety valve installed on this air compressor is
designed to automatically release pressure in case of excess pressure build up in the tank.
• Drain the moisture from the tank after use. It will help prevent corrosion.
• When you disconnect the hose coupling, hold the coupling element in your hand to prevent injury from the
whiplashing hose.
• Never point the blow-out gun at other persons and never use it to clean clothes that are still being worn.
• Be certain to read all the labels on the containers of paint or other materials to be sprayed. Closely follow all
safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance that you might otherwise inhale the spray material.
Carefully check the effectiveness of any respirator mask you intend using.
• Always wear safety goggles or glasses when using the air compressor. Never point the nozzle of an accessory
towards any part of your body or towards another person.
• Keep the compressor at least 300mm from the nearest wall to ensure adequate ventilation for cooling purposes.
• Protect the air hose and cordset from damage. Inspect for weak or worn spots regularly and replace if necessary.
• Always switch off the compressor before switching off the power or removing the power plug.
• After using the compressor, switch off the on/off button, disconnect the power supply and use a blow gun or
similar to release the remaining pressure in the tank.
• Do not attempt to remove any part of the machine whilst it is under pressure.
• Always shut off the compressor after use and before servicing. Push the on/off knob down, wait for the
pressurised air to bleed from the tank from the safety valve and then remove the electrical plug from the power
supply.
• Check the maximum pressure rating of any tools or accessories that you intend using with the compressor. The
output pressure of the air from the compressor must be regulated so that it never exceeds the rated pressure of
the tool or accessory.
• To avoid the risk of burns and injury from moving parts, do not operate the compressor with the safety shield
removed. Allow hot parts to cool before handling or servicing.
• Wear goggles, wear earmuffs, wear a breathing mask. Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield,
ear protection, breathing or respirator mask and protective clothing.
• Never apply the outlet air of this compressor directly on to any part of a person’s body. Do not attempt to block
the air outlet with your finger or any part of your body.
• The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will be
considered a case of misuse. The user and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting
from such cases of misuse.
• The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such
changes.
• Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
• Damage to the lungs if an effective breathing mask is not worn.
• Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.
• Damage to the eyes if effective safety goggles or shield are not worn.
WARNING! In the event that an air line is cut or broken, the air supply must be turned off at the compressor. A
broken air line which is not supported is extremely dangerous and can whip around very quickly, both with the
capability of striking people, and blowing foreign particles into the air.
Do not attempt to catch the air line but immediately keep bystanders well clear and turn off the air supply to the
hose, turn off the compressor at the On / Off button, and then remove the hose from the compressor.
AIR COMPRESSOR SAFETY WARNINGS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 and/or the battery pack from the power tool 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. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s 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, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
