• Connect the plug to a grounded electrical
outlet with the correct voltage and frequency
that meets the regulations.
• Only use correctly dimensioned extension
cables, taking into account the length and
cable area in relation to the drawn amperage.
We advise against using extension cables
of different lengths or adapters and power
strips. Always and only use the switch on the
pressure switch to turn 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
compressor.
• When the compressor is in operation, it must
be placed on a stable and horizontal surface
to ensure proper lubrication.
• Place the compressor at least 50 cm from
the wall to allow optimal air circulation and
guarantee proper cooling.
• Never direct the air jet at people, animals or
at your own body (use safety glasses to
protect the eyes from foreign particles that
can be blown up by the air jet).
• Never direct a liquid jet 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 disconnect
the plug from the outlet or to move the
compressor.
• Make sure that the machine is not exposed to
the elements (rain, sun, fog or snow).
• Do not transport the compressor with a
pressurized air container.
• Do not perform any welding or mechanical
interventions on the air container. In the event
of defects or rust on the air container, the
whole container must be changed.
• Do not allow the compressor to be used by
inexperienced persons. Children and animals
must be kept at a safe distance from the
compressor.
• Do not place ammable objects, nylon or
textile objects near and/or on the
compressor.
• Do not clean the machine with ammable li-
quids or solvents. Use only a damp cloth and
make sure you have pulled the plug out of the
socket.
• 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.
• This compressor is manufactured to operate
with the intermittency factor indicated on the
technical data nameplate to avoid
overheating of the electric motor. (Duty cycle
60% means, for example, 6 minutes of
operation and 4 minutes of stop).
• The compressor should not be used
continuously for more than 15 minutes.
• If the temperature become too high, the
motor’s overheating protection trips and
automatically cuts off the voltage. Allow the
machine to cool before restarting.
• To facilitate restarting the machine, it is
important to press the pressure switch
button so that it is rst in the off position and
then back in the on position. The machine is
equipped with a pressure switch with a bleed
valve with delayed closing (or a valve located
on the non-return valve) which simplies 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 cut off 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
cleaning agents, etc.), the user must respect
and have good knowledge of the applicable
safety regulations for each area of use.
Start and use
Important - Before starting, the oil level must be
checked!
• Always check the oil level carefully, it should
be kept in the middle of the transparent
inspection glass. On some models, the oil
level is checked with a dipstick. If necessary,
top up with compressor oil (in cold areas top
up with SAE 20 oil and in warm areas top up
with SAE 30 oil).
• Check that the data of the electrical
installation matches the data stated on the
compressor nameplate.
• Check that the button on the pressure switch
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 turn 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 out the
remaining air that is in the block and in the
