CLEANING

•  Keep the safety devices, ventilation 

openings and the motor housing free 
from dust and dirt.

•  Clean the product after it has been used.
•  Wipe clean with a clean cloth, or blow 

clean with compressed air at low pressure.

•  Clean the product at regular intervals with 

a cloth moistened with water and a mild 
detergent. Do not use strong detergents 
or solvents, they can damage the plastic 
parts. Make sure that no water gets into 
the product.

•  Disconnect hoses and pneumatic tools 

from the compressor before cleaning.  
Do not clean the compressor with

MAINTENANCE OF AIR TANK

     IMPORTANT:   
Drain all the condensation from the air tank (2)  
after use to reduce the risk of rusting.

Relieve the pressure in the air tank first by opening 
the safety valve (14), unscrewing the condensation 
drain plug (1) (screw anticlockwise), and allowing 
the condensation to run out. Replace the drain 
plug (screw clockwise). Check the air tank before 
use for signs of rust and other damage. Do not 
use the compressor if the air tank is damaged or 
rusty – contact an approved service centre.

•  The compressor must only be used as it is 

intended to be used. All other use is 
considered to be unsuitable.

•  The product is not intended for commercial 

or industrial use. Commercial or industrial 
use will invalidate the warranty.

HOW TO USE

Starting/stopping

Put the switch (8) in position "I" to start the 
compressor. Put the switch (8) in position "0" 
to switch off the compressor.

SETTING THE WORKING PRESSURE

The air pressure can be read off on the pressure 
gauge (6) and adjusted with the pressure 
reduction valve (7). The set pressure is taken 
out through the quick-coupling (5).

PRESSURE SWITCH

The pressure switch is set at the factory and the 
difference in pressure between starting and 
stopping is normally 2 bar – the compressor 
normally starts when the pressure in the air 
tank has dropped to 6 bar and stops when the 
pressure increases to 8 bar.

MAINTENANCE

     WARNING!   

•  Switch off the product, pull out the plug 

and wait until all moving parts have 
completely stopped before cleaning or 
maintenance – risk of electric shock and 
serious personal injury. 

•  Wait until the product has cooled – risk 

of burn injury.

•  Relieve the pressure in the product 

before cleaning or maintenance – risk of 
personal injury.
