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
compressor and the work area.
•Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor during painting
operations indicates that the distance is too short.
•Inserttheplugoftheelectriccableinasocketofsuitableshape,voltage
andfrequencycomplyingwithcurrentregulations.
•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
•Always use the handle to move the compressor.
•Whenoperating, thecompressormustbeplacedona stable,horizontal
surface to guarantee correct lubrication.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Neverdirectthejetofairtowardspersons,animalsoryourbody.(Always
wear safety goggles to protect your eyes against flying objects that may be
liftedbythejetofair).
•Neverdirectthejetofliquidssprayedbytoolsconnectedtothecompressor
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.
•Donotweldormachinethereceiver.Inthecaseoffaultsorrusting,replace
the entire receiver.
•Never allow inexpert persons to use the compressor. Keep children and
animals at a distance from the work area.
•
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 toensure that they do notplaywith the
appliance.
•Donotpositionflammableornylon/fabricobjectsclosedtoand/oronthe
compressor.
•Nevercleanthecompressorwithflammableliquidsorsolvents.Checkthat
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.
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,itisimportanttoreturnthebuttonofthepressureswitchtothe

•Single-phaseversionsarefittedwith a pressure switch equippedwitha
delayedclosingairdischargevalvewhichfacilitatesstart-upofthemotor.
Therefore venting of air from this valve for a few seconds with the receiver
empty is normal.
