performance and dependability have been given top priority in the design of this product
making it easy to maintain and operate.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before attempting to operate this compressor the following basic safety precautions should
always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. It is important to
read the instruction manual to understand the application, limitations and potential hazards
associated with any tool. They are designed for the safety of yourself and others, ensuring a
long and trouble free service life from your machine.
SAFE OPERATION
Work Area
Workbenches should be kept tidy because cluttered benches and work areas invite accidents.
Floors should be kept clean and free from rubbish. Special care should be taken if the floor is
slippery due to sawdust or wax.
Work Environment
Keep the work area well lit. Do not use compressor in areas where there is a risk of explosion
or fire from combustible materials, flammable liquids, e.g., paint, varnish, petrol etc or flam-
mable gases and dust of an explosive nature.
Guard Against Electric Shock
Do not expose your compressor to rain, or use in damp or wet locations.
Beware Children and Pets
Children and pets should be kept out of the work area.
Use the right tool
Select the right tool for the job. Do not use a tool for a job for which it was not designed. Do
not force a small tool to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
Personal safety Clothing
Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery or anything that could get caught in moving machinery.
Hair
Long hair should be tied back or contained in a protective covering.
Eye Protection
All ways use protective safety goggles or safety glasses.
Ear Protection
Ear protection is advised during periods of extended operation.
Footwear
Where there is a risk of heavy objects damaging feet or if there is a risk of slipping on wet or
slippery floors suitable non-slip safety footwear should be worn.
Secure the Work Piece
Wherever possible secure the work piece using clamps or a vice. It is safer than using your
hand and leaves both hands free to control the air tool.
Do Not Over-reach
Do not over-reach, keep proper footing and maintain your balance at all times.
Maintain Tools with Care
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow the instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Check the tool power cord periodically and if dam-
aged have it replaced by an authorised service facility. Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Ensure that ventilation slots are kept clean and free from dust at all times.
Blocked ventilation slots can cause overheating and damage to the motor.
Stay Alert
Watch what you are doing, use common sense, and do not operate the air tool when you are
tired or have taken medication that causes drowsiness, consumed alcohol or drugs.

FOR ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
It is recommended that this tool be used in conjunction with a residual current device (RCD)
with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
GENERAL WARNINGS FOR COMPRESSORS
• Do not attempt to modify the compressor in any way.
• The use of any tools or accessory other than those designed for use with compressed air
could result in injury to the operator.
• The output pressure of the compressor should be adjusted to the design pressure of the
air tool or accessory being used.
• Always check that the output of the compressor does not exceed the maximum pressure
for any attached tool or accessory.
• Repairs should only be carried out by qualied persons using original spare parts. Failure
to do so may result in considerable danger to the user.
Breathable Air Warning
This compressor/pump is not equipped and should not be used to supply breathing quality air
for any application of air for human consumption.
Extension Cords and Reels
In general, it is not recommended to use an extension lead. A longer air line is recommended
as voltage drop on extension leads may lead to motor damage and will void warranty. If a ex-
tension cord must be used, for lengths up to 5 metres, an approved 15amp rated cord must
be used.
Do Not Abuse the Power Cord
Never yank or pull on the power cord to disconnect it from the mains supply socket. Never
carry or drag your compressor by its power cord. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil,
solvents and sharp edges. If the power cord becomes damaged have it replaced by an author-
ised service facility.
Check Damaged Parts
Before using the compressor it should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for the correct alignment of moving parts
ensuring they do not bind. Check for broken or missing parts and have them replaced or
repaired at an authorised service centre. Check any other condition that may affect the opera-
tion of the compressor.
A guard or any other part of the compressor that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorised service centre.
Disconnect Compressor
Ensure that the compressor is disconnected from the mains supply and the tank is empty
when not in use, before servicing, lubricating or making adjustments to air lines when chang-
ing accessories such as blades, bits, nails and cutters on air tools .
Avoid Unintentional Starting
Ensure that the main switch is set in the OFF position before plugging the compressor into
the mains
supply

Compressor Operation
The pressure in the tank is controlled by the action of the pressure switch located under the
cover. When the set maximum pressure is reached the pressure switch activates and the mo-
tor is turned off. The pressure will then decreases as the air is used until the set minimum is
reached after which the pressure switch turns the motor to on again.
The operator of the compressor should be well aware that during use of the compressor the
motor will cycle (start and stop) under the influence of the rising or falling pressure in the
tank and the motor will start without any warning.
The maximum and minimum pressures are factory set and should not be altered.
The pressure of the regulated outlet can be changed by turning the Regulator knob. Rotate
the knob clockwise to increase pressure and anti-clockwise to decrease.
