WARNING! Ensure the tool is turned off
and disconnected from the power supply
before performing any of the following
operations.
Adjusting The Output Pressure
The output pressure of the regulated pressure outlet
can be adjusted to suit the air tool connected and the
task at hand.
1. To do so, rst decrease the pressure to 0psi by
turning the pressure regulator anti-clockwise.
2. Then turn the pressure regulator clockwise until
the desired pressure is shown on the regulated
pressure gauge. FIG. D
WARNING! Do not attempt to adjust/
modify the safety valve in any way.
The Safety valve installed on this air
compressor is designed to automatically
release pressure in case of excess
pressure build up in the tank.
Starting Up The Compressor
For best practice, the compressor should be run
without any load for 20 minutes before rst use to
lubricate the bearings and piston. This procedure
should also be performed if the compressor has been
stored for 6 months or more without operation.
1. Disconnect all air hoses from the outlets and open
the drain valve fully with a spanner to prevent
pressurised air buildup in the tank.
2. Make sure the power switch is in the off position.
Plug the power supply cord into a mains outlet.
3. Switch the compressor on and allow it to run for 20
minutes without any loads/tools attached and allow
any liquid to drain from the tank.
4. Turn off the compressor and close the drain valve.
The compressor is now ready for use.
5. Attach the desired tool to one end of an air hose and
the air hose to an outlet depending on the tool or
application.
6. Turn the compressor back on and adjust the
regulated pressure to the desired level once the
pump has shut off and the compressor has reached
cut-off pressure (8bar).
Shutting Down The Compressor
Do not turn the air compressor off by unplugging it
from the mains power as it may result in damage to
the motor.
1. Turn the compressor off with the on/off switch and
then unplug the cord.
2. Attach a blow gun to the compressor and use it to
discharge any remaining air in the compressor tank.
3. Rotate the pressure regulator anti-clockwise until it
is fully closed; check the regulated pressure gauge
to ensure that it reads 0psi.
4. Also turn on the air tool to discharge any remaining
pressurised air in the air hose.
5. Remove the air hose and any other connected
accessories.
WARNING! Release all air pressure
from the tank before opening the Drain
Valve. Take care when discharging air
through the drain Valve or air Outlets. The
discharged air can cause dust, stones,
or any other foreign particles to be blown
through the air at high pressure.
6. When no more air is released, open the drain valve
to release any accumulated liquid from the tank.
7. Close the drain valve, allow the compressor to cool
down, then clean and store the unit.

7
Draining The Pressure Tank
WARNING! Release all air pressure
from the tank before opening the Drain
Valve. Take care when discharging air
through the Safety Valve, Drain Valve
or air Outlets. The discharged air can
cause dust, stones, or any other foreign
particles to be blown through the air at
high pressure.
Air in the compressor tank causes water to
accumulate. This must be drained off frequently to
prevent corrosion and damage to the unit. This should
be performed after each use and prior to the next use.
1. Turn the drain valve plug anti-clockwise (when
viewed from the bottom of the tank) to open it. FIG.
E
2. Allow all of the water in the tank to drain out.
3. Replace the drain valve plug and turn it clockwise
to tighten it.
Note: The tank will not pressurise while the drain
valve is open.
Cleaning The Air Filters
The air lters prevent dust and dirt being drawn in. It is
essential to clean these lters at least after every 100
hours in service. Clogged air lters will decrease the
performance of the compressor dramatically.
1. Allow the compressor to run and build up
pressurised air in the tank. Once the motor has
stopped running, turn the compressor off and
disconnect it from the power supply.
2. With an air hose and blow gun connected to
the regulated pressure outlet, turn the pressure
regulator until the regulated pressure gauge shows
a pressure of around 3bar.
3. Undo the screw on the cover of the air lter unit and
lift off plastic cover.
4. Remove the lter sponge from the housing, tap it
and spray it with the blow gun to remove any dirt.
Re-insert it into the housing.
5. Re-attach the lid and replace the screw.
Changing The Oil
The oil should be relled for the rst time after 100
hours of operation. Thereafter, the oil should be
drained and relled after every 500 hours of service.
1. Release any accumulated air pressure from the tank
and ensure that it is disconnected from the power
supply.
2. Remove the oil drainage screw and use a vessel to
collect the oil from the unit as it drains out. FIG. F
Note: if the oil does not drain out completely, the
compressor may be tilted slightly to facilitate this.
3. Re-attach the oil drainage screw.
4. Remove the oil sealing plug and ll the pump with
oil up to the required level (approximately 200ml).
SAE 5W/40 oil or an alternative of the same quality
is recommended.
5. Replace the oil sealing plug.
6. Dispose of the old oil in a responsible manner by
taking it to an old oil drop off point. Check with your
local council for more information. DO NOT dispose
of old oil down the drain.

• Do not attempt to adjust/modify the safety valve in any
way. The safety valve installed on this air compressor
is designed to automatically release pressure in case of
excess pressure build up in the tank.
• Drain the moisture from the tank after use. It will help
prevent corrosion.
• When you disconnect the hose coupling, hold the
coupling element in your hand to prevent injury from the
whiplashing hose.
• Never point the blow-out gun at other persons and
never use it to clean clothes that are still being worn.
• Be certain to read all the labels on the containers of
paint or other materials to be sprayed. Closely follow all
safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there is a
chance that you might otherwise inhale the spray material.
Carefully check the effectiveness of any respirator mask
you intend using.
• Always wear safety goggles or glasses when using the
air compressor. Never point the nozzle of an accessory
towards any part of your body or towards another person.
• Keep the compressor at least 300mm from the nearest
wall to ensure adequate ventilation for cooling purposes.
Protect the air hose and cordset from damage.
Inspect for weak or worn spots regularly and replace if
necessary.
Always switch off the compressor before switching off
the power or removing the power plug.
After using the compressor, switch off the on/off button,
disconnect the power supply and use a blow gun or
similar to release the remaining pressure in the tank.
Do not attempt to remove any part of the machine
whilst it is under pressure.
Always shut off the compressor after use and before
servicing. Push the on/off knob down, wait for the
pressurised air to bleed from the tank from the safety
valve and then remove the electrical plug from the
power supply.
Check the maximum pressure rating of any tools or
accessories that you intend using with the compressor.
The output pressure of the air from the compressor
must be regulated so that it never exceeds the rated
pressure of the tool or accessory.
To avoid the risk of burns and injury from moving parts,
do not operate the compressor with the safety shield
removed. Allow hot parts to cool before handling or
servicing.
Wear goggles, wear earmuffs, wear a breathing mask.
Use safety equipment including safety goggles or
shield, ear protection, breathing or respirator mask and
protective clothing.
Never apply the outlet air of this compressor directly on
to any part of a person’s body. Do not attempt to block
the air outlet with your nger or any part of your body.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will
be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the
manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes
made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from
such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not
possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The
following hazards may arise in connection with the
tool’s construction and design:
Damage to the lungs if an effective breathing mask is
not worn.
Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.
Damage to the eyes if effective safety goggles or shield
are not worn.
WARNING! In the event that an air line is cut
or broken, the air supply must be turned off at the
compressor. A broken air line which is not supported
is extremely dangerous and can whip around very
quickly, both with the capability of striking people, and
3
blowing foreign particles into the air. Do not attempt to
catch the air line but immediately keep bystanders well
clear and turn off the air supply to the hose, turn off the
compressor at the On / Off button, and then remove
the hose from the compressor.
