1. PRECAUTIONS
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m. corresponds
to the ACOUSTIC POWER value stated on the yellow
label located on the compressor, minus 20 dB.
THINGS TO DO
● The compressor must be used in a suitable
environment (well ventilated with an ambient
temperature of between +5°C and +40°C) and
never in places affected by dust, acids, vapors,
explosive or flammable gases.
● Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4
metersbetweenthecompressorandtheworkarea.
● Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor
during painting operations indicates that the distance
istooshort.
● Insert the plug of the electric cable in a socket of
suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying
withcurrentregulations.
● For 3-phase versions, have the plug fitted by a
qualified electrician according to local regulations.
When starting the compressor for the first time,
check the correct direction of rotation and that this
matches the direction indicated by the arrow on the
beltguard(versionswithplasticprotection)oronthe
motor(versionswithmetalprotection).
● Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5
metersandofsuitablecross-section.
● Theuseofextensioncablesofdifferentlengthand
also of adapters and multiple sockets should be
avoided.
● Always use the switch of the pressure switch to
switch off the compressor or use the switch of the
electricpanelformodelsequippedwiththis.Never
switch off the compressor by pulling out the plug in
ordertoavoidrestartwithpressureinthehead.
● Alwaysusethehandletomovethecompressor.
● When operating, the compressor must be placed
on a stable, horizontal surface to guarantee correct
lubrication.
● Position the compressor at least 50 cm from the
wall to permit optimal circulation of fresh air and to
guaranteecorrectcooling.
THINGS NOT TO DO
● Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals
oryourbody.(Alwayswearsafetygogglestoprotect
your eyes against flying objects that may be lifted by
thejetofair).
● Never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools
connected to the compressor towards the
compressor.
● Never use the appliance with bare feet or wet hands
orfeet.
● Never pull the power cable to disconnect the plug
fromthesocketortomovethecompressor.
● Never leave the appliance exposed to adverse
weatherconditions.
● Never transport the compressor with the receiver
underpressure.
● Donotweldormachinethereceiver.Inthecaseof
faultsorrusting,replacetheentirereceiver.
● Neverallowinexpertpersonstousethecompressor.
Keep children and animals at a distance from the
workarea.
● This appliance isnot intended for use by persons
(includingchildren)with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by
apersonresponsiblefortheirsafety.
● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
notplaywiththeappliance.
● Do not position flammable or nylon/fabric objects
closedtoand/oronthecompressor.
● Never clean the compressor with flammable liquids
or solvents. Check that you have unplugged the
compressorandcleanwithadampclothonly.
● The compressor must be used only for air
compression. Do not use the compressor for any
othertypeofgas.
● The compressed air produced by the compressor
cannot not be used for pharmaceutical, food or
medical purposes except after particular treatments
and cannot be used to fill the air bottles of scuba
divers.
● Never use the compressor without guards (belt
guard)andnevertouchmovingparts.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
● To avoid overheating of the electric motor,
this compressor is designed for intermittent
operation as indicated on the technical dataplate
(forexample,S3-50means5minutesON,5minutes
OFF).Inthecaseofoverheating,thethermalcutout
of the motor trips, automatically cutting off the power
