Connect the accessory required. Connect the compressor to the mains
using the power cable 10.
Press switch 1tostart the compressor.Thecompressor will continue to
operate until the air receiver is completely full. On reaching maximum
pressure (8 bar), the compressor will stop automatically. The pressure
value of the air contained in the receiver is indicated on gauge 3.
It is normal for the compressor to stop and restart at intervals during use
ofthecompressedair.
When you have finished using the compressor, switch off switch 1 and

This symbol indicates warnings to be read before using the product so as
to prevent injury to the user.
Compressed air is a potentially dangerous form of energy; always take
great care when using the compressor and its accessories.
Warning: the compressor may restart when power is restored following
