Safety instructions for working with compressed air
and blow-out pistols
•The compressor and lines can become very hot during operation. Tou-
ching these parts will burn you.
•The gas and steam sucked in by the compressor must be kept free of
impurities that could cause res or explosions in the compressor.
•When releasing the hose coupling, be sure to hold the hose coupling
piece with your hand to protect yourself against injury from the re-
bounding hose.
•Wear safety goggles when working with the blow-out pistol. Foreign
bodies or blown o parts can easily cause injuries.
•Do not blow at people with the blow-out pistol and do not clean clo-
thes while being worn.

gauges, blow-out pistols, adapters for inating balls, etc.
The equipment may be used only for the tasks it is designed to handle.
Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user/operator and
not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind
resulting from such misuse.

Before starting
the equipment
Notes on installing
•Check the equipment for damage which may have occurred in transit.
Report any damage immediately to the transport company which was
used to deliver the compressor.
•Install the compressor in the vicinity of the point of consumption.
•Avoid long air lines and supply lines (extension cables).
•Make sure that the intake air is dry and dustfree.
•Do not install the compressor in a damp or wet room.
•The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms (with good ven-
tilation and an ambient temperature from +5 °C to 40 °C). There must
be no dust, acids, vapors, explosive gases or inammable gases in the
room.
•The compressor is designed to be used in dry rooms. It is prohibited
to use it in damp conditions.
Mains connection
Before you use the machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies
with the specications on the rating plate. Long supply cables, extensi-
ons, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start-
up. At low temperatures below +5°C, sluggishness may make starting
dicult or impossible.

Operation
ON/OFF switch (4)
To switch on the equipment set the On/O switch (4) to position 1. Move
the On/O switch (4) to position 0 to switch o the equipment.
Important. This equipment is not designed for continuous use.
To prevent the motor from overheating, use the compressor only as fol-
lows:
Within an operating period of 10 minutes the equipment is allowed to
be operated for only 15% of the time, i.e. 1.5 minutes, at its rated perfor-
mance level. For the rest of the time the equipment must be allowed to
cool down (8.5 minutes cooling phase).
Compressed air hose with quick-lock coupling (3)
Connecting:
Insert the nipple of the air tool into the quick-lock coupling, the sleeve
will spring forward automatically.
Disconnecting:
Pull back the sleeve and remove the tool.
Important. When releasing the quick-lock coupling, be sure to hold the
coupling piece to protect yourself against injury from the rebounding
hose.
Tyre pressure gauge with adapters (Fig. 2/Item 6)
Working pressure in bar: 0-8
Range of applications:
The tyre pressure gauge allows you to inate car tyres easily and exactly.
Use the pressure gauge to check the tyre pressure. If the tyre pressure is
too high, you can reduce the pressure with the integrated relief valve (8).
The tyre pressure gauge comes with a valve adapter for car tyre valves.
Important! The pressure gauge is not calibrated! Please check the
tyre pressure immediately after lling with air, for example at your
lling station.

Using the equipment as a blow-out pistol (Fig. 3)
To use the tyre pressure gauge as a blow-out pistol you must rst un-
screw and remove the hose with the valve adapter for care tyres. Now the
blow-out adapter (7) can be screwed to the tyre pressure gauge.
Range of applications:
For cleaning and blowing out hollow spaces or hard-to-reach areas, as
well as for cleaning soiled equipment. The innitely variable trigger lever
allows an exact dosing of compressed air.

Possible causes of failure
Problem Cause Solution
The compressor does
not start
1. No supply voltage
2. Insucient supply voltage
3. Outside temperature is too
low
4. Motor is overheated
1. Check the cable, power
plug, fuse and socket-
outlet.
2. Make sure that the exten-
sion cable is not too long.
Use an extension cable
with large enough wires
cross-sections.
3. Do not use at an outside
temperature below +5° C.
4. Allow the motor to cool
down. If necessary, remedy
the cause of the overhea-
ting.
The compressor starts
but there is no pres-
sure
1. The non-return valve has a
leak.
2. The seals are damaged.
1. Replace the non-return
valve.
2. Check the seals and have
any damaged seals repla-
ced by a service center.
The compressor starts,
but the tools do not.
1. Loose hose connections.
2. Leak in a quick-lock
coupling.
1. Check the compressed air
hose and tools and replace
if necessary.
2. Check the quick-lock coup-
ling and replace if
necessary.
