BYGMA 3,0HK OLIEFRI, Operation Instructions Manual

12

•  Risk of serious eye injury from moisture 

and debris. Operators and others in work area 

shall wear CE approved and impact-resistant eye 

protection with side shields when working with the 

compressor and/or opening the drain valve. 

•  Do not spray any part of the body.

•  Shock risk could result in death or serious injury. 

Only connect the compressor to a properly ground-

ed receptacle. 

•  Dust can be created when cutting, sanding, 

drilling or grinding materials such as wood, paint, 

metal, concrete, cement, or other masonry. To 

reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in 

a well ventilated area and ALWAYS wear approved 

safety equipment.

• 

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE COMPRES

-

SOR AT ALL TIMES.

CAUTION:

•  High pressure air containing water condensation 

could result in minor or moderate injury. Do not 

spray at any person.

NOTICE:

• 

If the pump has been transported or turned upside 

down (even partially), allow the pump to sit in a nor-

mal, upright position for approximately 10 minutes 

before starting.

Assembly instructions

• 

Unpack the compressor. Inspect the compressor 

for damages. If the compressor has been damaged, 

contact your dealer immediately.

• 

Check the air compressor’s identification label to ensure 

that you have purchased the intended model and that it 

has the required pressure rating for its intended use.

•  The carton should contain the compressor and 

these safety and operation instructions.

Positioning of the air compressor

1.

 Position the air compressor (1) near an electrical 

outlet (2) (Fig. B).

2.

 The compressor must be at least 31 cm from any 

wall (3) or obstruction, in a clean, well-ventilated area 

to ensure sufficient air flow and cooling (Fig. B).

3.

 Place the compressor on the floor or a hard, level 

surface.The compressor must be level to ensure prop-

er drainage of the moisture in the tank.

Connect air hose to compressor

1.

 Connect the air hose (1) to the compressor’s quick 

coupler (2) (Fig. C).

Operating instructions

Break in the pump

1. 

Set the pressure switch (1) to the OFF position (Fig. D).

2. 

Open tank drain valve (1) by turning it counter-clock-

wise to permit the air to escape and prevent air 

pressure build-up in the air tank during the break-in 

period (Fig. E).

3.

 Turn the pressure knob (1) clockwise until it stops 

(Fig. F).

4.

 Plug in the power cord

∙ Use a dedicated circuit.

If any other electrical de

-

vices are drawing from the compressor’s circuit, 

the compressor may fail to start or an overload 

circuit can result in sluggish starting that causes 

the motor overload protection system or circuit 

breaker to trip, especially in cold conditions.

∙

Disconnect the power cord only after break-in 

process has been completed, otherwise the 

motor might get damaged.

5. 

Set the pressure switch (1) to the ON position (Fig. 

D). The compressor will start. Run the compressor for 

30 minutes. If it fails, turn it off immediately.

Please note that breaking-in the unit is only required 

prior to first use.

6.

 After 30 minutes, turn off the pressure switch.

7.

 Close the tank drain valve (1) by turning it clockwise 

(Fig. E).

8.

 Set the pressure switch to the ON position. (Fig. D) 

The air receiver will fill to “cut-out” pressure and then 

the compressor’s motor will stop. The compressor is 

now ready for use.

Before each start-up

1. 

Set the pressure switch (1) to the OFF position (Fig. 

D).

2.

 Turn the pressure regulator knob (1) counterclock-

wise until it stops (Fig. G).

3.

 Attach hose and accessories (Fig. C)

∙

When using an extension cord or extension cord 

reel, be sure to use a 3-core flexible cable:

◦ Up to 10m → 3 × 1.5 mm

2

. 

◦ Up to 20m → 3 × 2.5 mm

2

.

How to start

1. 

Close the tank drain valve (1) (Fig. I)

2

. Plug-in the power cord (2) (Fig. I)

3.

 Set the pressure switch to the ON position and allow 

the tank pressure to build (Fig. D). Motor will stop 

when tank pressure reaches cut-out pressure.

4. 

Turn the air pressure regulator knob clockwise until 

desired pressure is reached (Fig. F).

5. 

The compressor is ready for use.

How to shut down

1.

 Set the pressure switch (1) to the OFF position  

(Fig. D).

2.

 Unplug the power cord (2) (Fig. I).

3.

 Set the tank drain valve (1) to ON to ensure the tank 

is drained (Fig. I).

WARNING:

Do not unplug the compressor while it is running, as 

it will cause malfunction when plugging in again, and 

pose great risk of burning the compressor unit.
