Before using the compressor, read the instructions for use carefully
and comply with the following safety precautions. Consult this
handbook if you have any doubts regarding functioning.
Preserve all the documentation so that anyone who uses the
compressor can consult this beforehand.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m. corresponds to the ACOUSTIC
POWER value stated on the label located on the compressor, minus
20 dB.
BEFORE USE
• 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
compressorandtheworkarea.
•Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor during painting
operationsindicatesthatthedistanceistooshort.
•Insert the plug of the electric cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage
andfrequencycomplyingwithcurrentregulations.
•Useextensioncableswithamaximumlengthof5metersandofsuitable
cross-section.
•Theuseofextensioncablesofdifferentlengthandalsoofadaptersand
multiplesocketsshouldbeavoided.
•Always use the switch of the pressure switch to switch off the compressor
•Alwaysusethehandletomovethecompressor.
•When operating, the compressor must be placed on a stable, horizontal
surfacetoguaranteecorrectlubrication.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Neverdirectthejetofairtowardspersons,animalsoryourbody.(Always
wear safety goggles to protect your eyes against flying objects that may be
liftedbythejetofair).
•Never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected to the compressor
towardsthecompressor.
•Neverusetheappliancewithbarefeetorwethandsorfeet.
•Never pull the power cable to disconnect the plug from the socket or to
movethecompressor.
•Neverleavetheapplianceexposedtoadverseweatherconditions.
•Nevertransportthecompressorwiththereceiverunderpressure.
•Donotweldormachinethereceiver.Inthecaseoffaultsorrusting,replace

•Neverallowinexpertpersonstousethe compressor.Keepchildrenand

•Thisapplianceisnotintendedforusebypersons(includingchildren)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.
•Donotpositionflammableornylon/fabricobjectsclosedtoand/oronthe

•The compressed air produced by the compressor cannot not be used
for pharmaceutical, food or medical purposes except after particular
treatmentsandcannotbeusedtofilltheairbottlesofscubadivers.
OPERATION
•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
OFFpositionandthentoONagain(figures 1-2).
•Single-phase versions are fittedwitha pressure switch equipped witha
delayedclosingairdischargevalvewhichfacilitatesstart-upofthemotor.
Therefore venting of air from this valve for a few seconds with the receiver
emptyisnormal.
•All the compressors are fitted with a safety valve that is tripped in the case
ofmalfunctioningofthepressureswitchinordertoassuremachinesafety.
•The red notch on the pressure gauge refers to the maximum operating
pressureofthetank.Itdoesnotrefertotheadjustedpressure.

Connection of the mains plug (electrical information for the BS plug)
Important!
The wires in the mains lead fitted to this product are coloured in accordance
with the code shown in fig. 16.
● The 3 pin plug must comply to BS1363/A.
● Fuse must comply to BS1362.
If for any reason the 13 amp plug fitted to this product requires replacement
it must be wired in accordance with the following instruction:
Do not connect the brown (live) or blue (neutral) to the earth pin marked
‘E’
on the 3 pin plug.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked Neutral (N). Connect the
BrownwiretotheterminalmarkedLive(L).ConnecttheYellow&Greenwire
