Safety instructions for working with compressed air and blow-out
pistols
•The compressor and lines can become very hot during operation.
Touching these parts will burn you.
•The gas and steam sucked in by the compressor must be kept free of
impurities that could cause fires 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
rebounding hose.
•Wear safety goggles when working with the blow-out pistol. Foreign
bodies or blown off parts can easily cause injuries.
•Do not blow at people with the blow-out pistol and do not clean
clothes while being worn.

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
ventilation and an ambient temperature from +5 °C to 40 °C). There
must be no dust, acids, vapors, explosive gases or inflammable gases
in the room.
•The compressor is designed to be used in dry rooms. It is prohibited
to use it in damp conditions.
•During operation, place the compressor on the rubber feet on the
compressor rear wall.
Mains connection
Before you use the machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies
with the specifications on the rating plate. Long supply cables,
extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede
motor start-up. At low temperatures below +5°C, sluggishness may make
starting difficult or impossible.

Operation
ON/OFF switch (4)
To switch on the equipment set the On/Off switch (4) to position 1. Move
the On/Off switch (4) to position 0 to switch off the equipment.
Important. This equipment is not designed for continuous use.
To prevent the motor from overheating, use the compressor only as
follows:
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
performance 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 inflate 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 filling with air, for example at your
filling station.

Using the equipment as a blow-out pistol (Fig. 3)
To use the tyre pressure gauge as a blow-out pistol you must first
unscrew 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 infinitely variable trigger lever
allows an exact dosing of compressed air.

voltage
3. Outside temperature
is too low
4. Motor is overheated
1. Check the cable, power
plug, fuse and socket-
outlet.

temperature below +5° C.
4. Allow the motor to
cool down. If necessary,
remedy the cause of the
overheating.
The compressor
starts but there
is no pressure
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
replaced by a service
center.
