WARNING SYMBOLS
READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CARE-
FULLY BEFORE OPERATING OR ADJUSTING
THE COMPRESSOR.
Risk of electric shock. The compressor must
be disconnected from the mains supply before
maintenance or removing any covers. Do not
use in a damp environment.
Risk of accidental start-up. The compressor
could start automatically in the event of a
power cut and subsequent reset. Do not carry
the compressor while it is connected to the
power source, or when the tank is filled with
compressed air.
This compressor contains surfaces which may
reach a high temperature during operation.
Never operate with the motor housing re-
moved.
Air and condensation water can burst from the
compressor when the drain plug is removed.
Wear a safety goggles and ear protectors
when using this compressor.
This compressor produces a high sound level
during operation. Ear protection should be
worn.

TRAINING: Prior to use, all users must become familiar with the instruc-
tions given in this manual. In particular, become familiar with the ON/OFF
control for stopping the compressor in the event of an emergency.
ALWAYS USE EYE PROTECTION: When operating the air compressor, al-
ways use eye protection such as goggles, and make sure that other people
in the work area are also using eye protection. Eye protectors must pro-
vide protection from flying particles both from the front and from the side.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING: Hearing protection should be worn when
operating this compressor, use ear plugs or ear defenders.
NEVER TOUCH MOVING PARTS: Never place your hand near any moving
parts on the air compressor or operate with the covers removed.
PROTECT YOUR SELF AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK: Never operate the
air compressor in wet or damp locations.
DRESS PROPERLY: Loose clothing or jewellery may be caught in moving
parts. Always tie long hair back, and wear suitable clothing.
KEEP VISITORS/CHILDREN AWAY: Do not allow visitors/children to han-
dle the air compressor or attachments and ensure that any people in the
work area are suitably dressed.
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN: Cluttered areas mean accidents, so clear
the work area of all unnecessary tools, debris and furniture.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES: During operation, the motor, con-
nections, compressor body, cylinder head and tubes may get hot, do not
touch.
DO NOT DIRECT AN AIR STREAM AT THE BODY: Do not direct the
air stream at people or animals, as injury may result. Compressed air can
cause soft tissue damage and propel dirt and other particles at high speed.
BREATHING AIR: This compressor should not be used to supply breathing
quality air. Never use it as breathing apparatus.
STAY ALERT: Watch what you are doing, use common sense, and do not
operate the air compressor when you are tired. The air compressor should
not be used if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any medica-
tion that makes you drowsy.
DISCONNECT THE AIR COMPRESSOR: Always disconnect the air com-
pressor from the mains power supply and decompress before performing
maintenance, changing any parts and when not in use.
MAINS POWER CABLE PRECAUTIONS: Never pull on the cable when
removing the plug from the mains socket, or lift the compressor by the
mains cable.

AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING: When connecting the air compres-
sor to the mains supply make sure the red button on top of the air com-
pressor is in the OFF (down) position.
STORE THE AIR COMPRESSOR PROPERLY: When not in use the air com-
pressor should be stored in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children.
Always lock up the storage area.
MAINTAIN THE AIR COMPRESSOR WITH CARE: If the air compressor is
damaged in any way, have it repaired by a qualified engineer.
DO NOT USE EXTENSION LEADS: Using extension leads can cause your
compressor motor to burn out. Only use extension hoses.
DISPOSAL INFORMATION: The air compressor should be disposed of in
a safe an environmentally friendly manner. Contact your local Council for
disposal assistance.
DO NOT WELD TO THE PRESSURE VESSEL: Do not weld or modify the
pressure vessel in any manner.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS OPERATION
Using the Air Compressor
Once the air compressor is connected to the mains supply use as follows:
a) Push the switch to the on position on the back of the compressor.
b) Check that the motor/pump automatically stops when the pressure
inside the air receiver reaches approximately (8BAR) (check gauge). Rotate
the air regulator to the desired outlet pressure and plug in hose with cho-
sen air tool connected to the other end. The air is now ready for use. You
may need to finely adjust as the air tool is used.
c) Check that the motor/ pump automatically starts, when the pressure falls
by approximately 2BAR.
Shutting down the Air Compressor
Never stop the compressor by unplugging it. The on / off switch must
always be used as this ensures that air is discharged from the head. This
makes the starting easier for the motor and prevents motor damage.
Air Pressure Regulator
To adjust the pressure turn the Pressure Regulator dial anti clockwise to
decrease the pressure and turn the dial clockwise to increase pressure.

1. Disconnect power source then release all pressure from the system be-
fore attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
2. Never unscrew any connecting part when the tank is pressurised.
3. Never disassemble any electrical part before disconnecting the plug.
4. Never adjust the safety valve carelessly.
5. Never use the compressor where voltage is too low or too high.
6. Never disconnect the plug to stop the compressor, set the switch knob
to the off position instead.
CAUTIONS MAINTENANCE
CLEAN THE AIR FILTERS (MONTHLY)
To clean a lightly soiled air filter, use soapy water and leave to dry thor-
oughly.
CLEANING
1. Open drain cock under the tank to exhaust condensate after every
use.
2. Clean the crankcase, clean air filter, and check safety valve and pres-
sure gauge after every 120 working hours.
