located on top of the air compressor.

Removing a tool from the air hose
WARNING!
Always set the pressure regulator to zero before attempting to remove or
replace a tool.

compressor.

to release air from the air hose BEFORE disconnecting the hose from the
machine.
Reset button
This compressor is equipped with a thermal
overload device, which operates as a
safety device to protect the motor.
When the motor overheats for any reason,
the overload cutout automatically cuts
the power thereby preventing damage to
the motor.
Wait around 5 minutes for the motor to
cool and press the reset button.
If you restart the compressor and the
overload cutout activates again, switch off the compressor, remove the plug
from the mains and have your compressor checked by a qualified service
agent.
