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.
● 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 I/O to switch off the
compressor.
● Alwaysusethehandletomovethecompressor.
● When operating, the compressor must be placed
onastable,horizontalsurface.
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.
● 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.
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,S3-25means2.5minutes
ON,7.5minutesOFF).Inthecaseofoverheating,
the thermal cutout of the motor trips, automatically
cutting off the power when the temperature is
toohigh.Themotorrestartsautomaticallywhen
normaltemperatureconditionsarerestored.
● To facilitate restart of the compressor, in
addition to the operations indicated, it is
important to return the button of the pressure
switch to the OFF position and then to ON
again (paragraph 5.4).
● Thecompressorsarefittedwithapressureswitch
equipped with a delayed closing air discharge
valve which facilitates start-up of the motor (D
200/8/6only).Thereforeventingofair from this
valve for a few seconds with the receiver empty is
normal.
● All the compressors are fitted with a safety valve
that is tripped in the case of malfunctioning of
the pressure switch in order to assure machine
