• Wear suitable work clothes and non-slip shoes for
the purpose. Use hair nets if you have long hair, do
not wear jewelry or loose-tting clothing that can
get caught.
• Never allow your habit of the machine lead to care-
lessness.
• Check that all safety measurements are in place
and in good working order. Check that all machine
parts are intact and are correctly mounted.
• Do not use a defective machine. Return it to an aut-
horized service workshop for repair.
• Use only recommended accessories and spare
parts. Any repairs and cable replacement must be
carried out by a qualied electrician to avoid danger.
• Only use the machine for the intended area of use.
The work is always safer and faster if the machine
is used for what it is designed for. Do not exceed the
capacity of the appliance.
• Prevent unintentional start-up by disconnecting the
power supply before service and repair or when the
machine is not in use. Never leave a machine unat-
tended when the power is on.
• Clean the machine after use and service it regu-
larly. Store the machine in a dry and protected place,
out of the reach of children.
• Handle cables carefully and protect hem from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Extension cable must not
be wound on a reel, pull the entire cable out of the
cable reel. Use only correctly dimensioned exten-
sion cables with regard to length and cable area in
relation to the current drawn.
• Avoid contact with earthed surfaces. The risk of
electric shock increases when you are grounded
Safety instructions for compressors
• The compressor is not intended for outdoor use.
• The compressor must be used in suitable environ-
ments (with good ventilation and an ambient tempe-
rature of between 0 ° and + 40 ° C) and never where
dust, acids, vapors, explosive or ammable gases
are present.
• Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4
meters between the compressor and the working
area.
• Connect the plug to a grounded electrical outlet
with the correct voltage and frequency that meets
current regulations.
• Only use correctly dimensioned extension cables
with regard to length and cable area in relation to
the current drawn. We advise against using exten-
sion cables of different lengths or adapters and
branch sockets. Always and only use the pressure
switch switch to switch off the compressor.
• Do not switch off the compressor by pulling the
plug out of the socket to avoid restarting with
pressure in the block.
• Always and only use the handle to move the com-
pressor.
• When the compressor is in operation, it must be
placed on a stable and horizontal surface to guaran-
tee correct lubrication.
• Place the compressor at least 50 cm from the wall
to allow optimal air circulation and guarantee cor-
rect cooling.
• Never aim the air jet at people, animals or your
own body (wear safety goggles to protect your eyes
from foreign particles that can be inated by the air
jet).
• Never point a jet of liquid from a tool connected to
the compressor at the compressor itself.
• Do not use the machine if you are barefoot or if
you have damp hands and feet.
• Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the power
cord or to move the compressor.
• Make sure that the machine is not exposed to wea-
ther and wind (rain, sun, fog or snow).
• Do not transport the compressor with a pressuri-
zed air tank.
• Do not perform welding or mechanical work on the
air container. In the event of defects or rust on the
air tank, it must be replaced in its entirety.
• Do not allow the compressor to be used by inexpe-
rienced persons. Children and animals must be kept
at a safe distance from the compressor.
• Do not place ammable objects or objects made
of nylon or textile in the vicinity and / or on the
compressor.
• Do not clean the machine with ammable liquids
or solvents. Use only a damp cloth and make sure
you have unplugged it.
• The compressor is designed to compress air. The
machine must not be used for any other type of gas.
• The compressed air obtained from this machine
cannot be used to ll oxygen tubes for diving.
• Do not use the compressor without protection and
do not touch moving parts.
• This compressor is designed to operate with an in-
termittent factor to avoid overheating of the electric
motor. (Operating cycle 50% means, for example, 5
minutes of operation and 5 minutes of stopping).
The compressor should not be used for more than
15 minutes at the time. If the temperature become
too high, the motor's overheating protection trips
and automatically shuts off the voltage. Allow the
machine to cool before restarting.

• To facilitate the restart of the machine, it is
important to press the pressure switch button so
that it is rst in the off position and then again in the
on position. The machine is equipped with a pres-
sure switch with a vent valve with delayed closing
(or a valve located on the non-return valve) which
simplies the start of the engine and it is therefore
normal for air to blow out of the vacuum container
for a few seconds.
• When connecting a compressed air tool to a
compressed air hose from the compressor, it is
absolutely necessary to interrupt the air ow from
the compressed air hose.
• When using compressed air for different areas of
use (air pumping, compressed air tools, painting,
cleaning with water-based cleaners, etc.), the user
must respect and have good knowledge of the
applicable safety regulations for each area of use.
Start and use
• Start by tting wheels, the air cylinders of both
cylinders and the crankcase ventilation / oil plug.
• Note before starting that the oil level must be
checked! Always be sure to check the oil level, it
should be kept in the middle of the transparent
inspection glass. On some models, the oil level is
checked with an oil dipstick. If necessary, top up
with compressor oil (in cold rooms top up with SAE
20 oil and in warm rooms top up with SAE 30 oil).
• Check that the electrical installation data matches
the data specied on the compressor nameplate.
• Check that the button on the pressure switch
located on the compressor is in the OFF position,
then connect the plug of the supply cable to a
grounded electrical outlet.
• In this mode, the compressor is ready for use.
• When you switch on the pressure switch, the
compressor starts and pumps air into the tank.
When the value for maximum operating pressure
(set by the factory during the test run phase) is
reached, the compressor stops and empties the
remaining air that is in the block and in the supply
pipe via a valve located under the pressure switch.
This simplies the next start, as there is no pressu-
re. When using air, the compressor restarts automa-
tically when the lower calibration value is reached
(there is a difference of about 2 bar between the
upper and lower calibration value). The pressure in
the air tank can be checked using the manometer.
• The compressor automatically continues to
operate with this cycle until the pressure switch
switch is depressed. If you want to start the com-
pressor immediately after it has been switched off,
wait at least 10 seconds before restarting it.
• The compressor is equipped with a pressure
regulator. Using the knob (pull it outwards and turn
clockwise to increase the pressure and turn coun-
terclockwise to reduce the pressure) the air pres-
sure can be regulated to optimize the use of the
compressed air tools. When the desired value has
been set, push the knob inwards to block it.
• You can check the set value on the manometer.
• Check that the air consumption and maximum
operating pressure of the tool match the setting on
the pressure regulator and the performance of the
compressor.
• Switch off the machine, unplug it and empty the air
tank when the work has been completed by opening
the drain valve.
Corrosion must be prevented, depending on the
conditions of use, condensation may have accumu-
lated inside the tank, which means that it must be
emptied every day. You can do this by opening the
drain valve on the tank.
A periodic service inspection of the air tank must
be performed as the internal corrosion can reduce
the thickness of the steel wall, which can lead to the
tank bursting. All applicable local regulations must
be followed. When the wall thickness reaches the
minimum value indicated on the tank type plate (C),
the lower air tank must not be used.
• The service life of the air tank depends mainly
on the working environment. Avoid installing the
compressor in dirty or corrosive environments, as
this can drastically reduce the life of the vessel.
• Do not anchor the vessel or connected compo-
nents directly on the ground or on xed structures.
Equip the pressure with vibration dampers.

Use the container within the pressure and tempera-
ture limits indicated on the nameplate.
• The vessel must not be altered, either by welding,
drilling or other mechanical processing methods.
• The service life of the machine depends on how
carefully perform the maintenance procedures.
• Before carrying out any operation, set the pressure
switch to the "OFF" position, pull out the plug and
empty the air tank completely.
• Check that all screws are tightened (especially the
bolts on the compressor cylinder head cover) before
starting the compressor for the rst time. Check at
regular intervals.
• Clean the intake salt regularly depending on the
ambient conditions, but at least every 100 hours of
operation. Replace the lter if necessary
• Change the oil after the rst 10 operating hours
and then every 120 operating hours. Check the level
regularly.
• Use mineral oil SAE 30 (In cold climates, SAE 20
is recommended), do not mix different grades. If
the oil color changes (white = water in the oil, dark
= overheated), it is recommended to change the oil
immediately.
• Tighten the ller plug rmly and check that there
is no leakage during operation. Check the oil level
once a week to ensure that the lubrication is done
correctly.
• Both the consumed oil and the condensate must
be disposed of in accordance with current environ-
mental protection regulations and laws.
