1. PRECAUTIONS
All users must read and fully understand all
information contained in this owner’s manual
before assembling, operating, or maintaining
this air compressor.
Carefully review the following rules for safe
operation and fully understand all warnings.
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, vapours, explosive or flammable gases.
● Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters
betweenthecompressorandtheworkarea.
● Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor during
paintingoperationsindicatesthatthedistanceistooshort.
● 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
andofsuitablecross-section.
● The use of extension cables of different length and also of
adaptersandmultiplesocketsshouldbeavoided.
● Always use the I/O switchtoswitchoffthecompressor.
● Alwaysusethehandletomovethecompressor(fig.4).
● Always disconnect power cord and air hose from the air
compressorbeforetransporting.
● When operating, the compressor must be placed on a
stable,horizontalsurface.
● The compressor must only and exclusively be operated in a
horizontalposition(fig.1),standingontwostripsofrubber

THINGS NOT TO DO
● Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals or your
body. (Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes
againstflyingobjectsthatmaybeliftedbythejetofair).
● Never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected to
thecompressortowardsthecompressor.
● Never use the appliance with bare feet or wet hands or
feet.
● Never pull the power cable to disconnect the plug from the
socketortomovethecompressor.
● Never leave the appliance exposed to adverse weather
conditions.
● Never transport the compressor with the receiver under
pressure.

● 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
playwiththeappliance.
● Do not position flammable or nylon/fabric objects closed to
and/oronthecompressor.
● Never clean the compressor with flammable liquids or
solvents.Checkthatyouhaveunpluggedthecompressor

● 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
theairbottlesofscubadivers.
● To avoid serious burns, never touch the cylinder head parts
ortubingduringorimmediatelyafteroperation.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
● To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this
compressor is designed for intermittent operation
(donotoperateonmorethana15%dutycycle.Ifthis
air compressor pumps air more than 15% of one hour,
then the compressor’s capability is less than the air
deliveryrequiredbytheapplication.Alwaysmatchtheair
volume requirements of the attachment or accessory with
theairvolumedeliveryofthecompressor).Inthecase
of overheating, the thermal cut-out of the motor trips,
automatically cutting off the power when the temperature
istoohigh.Themotorrestartsautomaticallywhennormal

● When the compressor is plugged into an electrical
source and the I/O switch is in the “ON” position, this
compressor will cycle automatically.
– Nevertouchanymovingparts.
– Keep all body parts, hair, clothing, and jewelry away from
movingparts.
– Never operate the air compressor without all guards and
shroudsinplace.
– Neverstandonthecompressor.
● The compressor is fitted with a safety valve that is tripped in
the case of malfunctioning of the pressure switch in order to
assuremachinesafety.
● The red notch on the pressure gauge refers to the maximum
operating pressure of the tank. It does not refer to the
adjustedpressure.
● When fitting a tool, the flow of air in output must be switched
off.
