  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, 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.

●

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 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.

●

When operating, the compressor must be placed on a stable, 

horizontal surface to guarantee correct lubrication.

  THINGS 

NOT

 TO DO  

●

Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals or your 

body. (Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes against 

flying objects that may be lifted by the jet of air).

●

Never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected to 

the compressor 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.

●

Do not weld or machine the receiver. In the case of faults or 

rusting, replace the entire receiver.

●

Never allow inexpert persons to use the compressor. Keep 

children and animals at a distance from the work area.

●

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 play 

with the appliance.

●

Do not position flammable or nylon/fabric objects closed to 

and/or on the compressor.

●

Never clean the compressor with flammable liquids or solvents. 

Check that 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.

  THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW  

●

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 OFF position and then to ON 

again (pictures 1-2).

●

Single-phase versions are fitted with a pressure switch equipped 

with a delayed closing air discharge valve which facilitates 

start-up of the motor. Therefore venting of air from this valve 

for a few seconds with the receiver empty is normal.

●

All the compressors are fitted with a safety valve that is tripped 

in the case of malfunctioning of the pressure switch in order to 

assure machine safety.

  The safety valve is set to avoid over-pressurization of the air 

tanks. This valve is factory pre-set and will not function unless 

tank pressure reaches this pressure. Do not attempt to adjust 

or eliminate this safety device.

  Any adjustments to this valve could cause serious injury. If this 

device requires service or maintenance, see an Authorized 

Service Center.

●

The red notch on the pressure gauge refers to the maximum 

operating pressure of the tank. It does not refer to the adjusted 

pressure.

●

When fitting a tool, the flow of air in output must be switched off.

●

Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working 

pressure of the pneumatic tool and connection pipes (with the 

compressor) to be used, are compatible with the pressure set 

on the pressure regulator and with the amount of air supplied 

by the compressor.

●

When using compressed air, you must know and comply with 

the safety precautions to be adopted for each type of application 

(inflation, pneumatic tools, painting, washing with water-based 

detergents only, etc.).

●

Do not cover the air inlets on the compressor.

●

Do not open or tamper with any part of the compressor. Contact 

an authorized Service Center.

2. Assembly

  Warning! 

You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for 

the first time.
Fitting the wheels

Fit the supplied wheel kit as shown in 

pic. 3

. Assembly by se-

quence: a, b, c, d, e.

Fitting the rubber foot

Fit the supplied rubber stopper as shown in 

pic. 4

.

Fitting the air filter

Remove the shipping plug with a screwdriver or similar and 

screw the air filter securely to the equipment (

pic. 5

).

3. Voltage

The compressor is equipped with a mains cable with shock-

proof plug. This can be connected to any 230V ~ 50Hz shock-

proof socket which is protected by a 16 A fuse. Before you use 

the machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies with 

the specifications on the rating plate. Long supply cables, exten-

sions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede 

motor start-up. In the case of low temperatures below +5°C, mo-

tor start-up is jeopardized as a result of stiffness.
