General safety notes

Preserve these Operating Instructions well 

and have them carefully read by every per-

son working with the compressor. 

Important information

Attentively read these Operating Instructions. 

Most of the accidents when working with the 

compressor occur through neglect of the basic 

safety rules. Recognizing potential dangers in 

time and conscientious observance of the safety 

instructions can avoid accidents. Only use the 

compressor following the recommendations of 

the manufacturer. 

Safety notes

•   Do not touch moving machine parts.

•   Do not use the compressor with the guards 

 removed.

•   Always wear goggles or another adequate 

eye protection. Never point the compressed 

air current towards a part of your body or 

towards another person. 

•  

Protection from electric shocks.

 Avoid 

inadvertent contact with the cables, the 

tank, or earthed metal parts of the com-

pressor. Never use the compressor close to 

water or in a humid environment.

•   Pull the power supply plug before starting 

repair, inspection, maintenance, or cleaning 

work, or before replacing any parts.

•  

Inadvertent starting.

 Do not transport the 

compressor while it is connected to the 

electric power. Make sure the switch is 

in OFF position before you plug in the elec-

tric cable.

•  

Store the compressor correctly

. When 

the compressor is not used, it must be 

stored in a dry place protected from wea-

ther conditions.

•  

Working area.

 Make sure the work place 

is clean and well aerated. Put away any 

tools that are not needed. Do not use the 

compressor together with inflammable 

liquids or gases – risk of electric shock. 

Protect the compressor from rain and do 

not use it in humid or wet conditions. Since 

sparks can emanate from the compressor 

during work, it must be kept away from 

lacquers, gasoline, chemicals, glues, and 

other inflammable or explosive materials. 

•  

Keep children away

. Children, third per-

sons or animals may not get in touch with 

the  compressor. Unauthorized persons 

must  observe a safety distance from the 

working zone. 

•  

Working clothes

. Wear close fitting clo-

thes. Take off jewels as they could get 

caught in moving machine parts. Protect 

long hair by a net or cap. 

•  

Do not misuse the electric cable

. Do not 

remove the plug from the socket by pulling 

the cable. Keep the cable away from heat, 

oil and surfaces with sharp edges. Do not 

step on the cable, and do not squeeze it by 

putting heavy weights on it. 

•  

Carefully service the compressor

. 

Regularly check the electric cable. In case 

of a defect, have it repaired or replaced by 

an authorized service station. Carefully 

inspect the compressor from outside and 

have any defects repaired by a service 

 station. 

•  

Attention.

 Keep your mind at what you are 

doing. Use your common sense. Never 

work with the compressor when you are 

tired, or under influence of alcohol, drugs, 

or medicines causing drowsiness. 

•  

Check the compressor for any defective 

parts or loss of ai

r. Before you use the 

compressor again, check the correct po-

sition of the moving parts, cables, mano-

meter, compressed air connections and 

all other parts important for the correct 

operation. Defective components must be 

repaired or replaced by an authorized ser-

vice station, observing the instructions gi-

ven in this manual. The compressor may 

not be used with the pressure control valve 

 defective.

•  

The compressor may only be used for 

the purposes specified in this operating 

 manual

. Do not allow children or inexperi-

enced persons work with the compressor. 

The compressor is a machine genera-

ting compressed air. Use it according to 

the instructions given in this manual. Any 

other use exceeds authorization. The ma-

nufacturer is not responsible for any dama-

ges resulting from unauthorized use; risk is 

the sole responsibility of the operator. 

•   Keep the venting grids clean, especially 

when working in dirty conditions.

•   Use the compressor at the rated voltage 

indicated on the model plate with the elec-

trical data. The admissible tolerance range 

is +/- 5 %.

•  

Never use a defective compressor

. If, 

during operation, you note a strange noise, 

excessive vibrations or any defects, switch 

it off immediately, check its good working 

order or contact your authorized service 

 station. 

•  

Only use original spare parts

. The use 

of non-original spare parts renders the 

warranty invalid, and it can cause a mal-

function of the compressor. Do not make 

any arbitrary modification on the compres-

sor. Have repairs done by an authorized 

service station. 

•   Put the switch to OFF position when the 

compressor is not used. Put the switch to 

„0“ (OFF) to interrupt the power supply. 

•   Do not touch the hot parts of the compres-

 sor.

•   Do not switch off the compressor by pulling 

the electric cable.

•  

Compressed air circuit

. Use compressed 

air hoses and tools made for a higher (or 

identical pressure) than the maximum ope-

rating pressure of the compressor.

Additional safety notes for air com-

pressors

Warning:

 Before connecting the compressor 

to the electric power (main switch on machi-

ne, socket, etc.), make sure the power supply 

corresponds with the data on the model plate. A 

higher mains voltage can cause serious injuries 

and damage the machine. Do not connect the 

machine in case of doubt. If the mains voltage is 

too low, the motor can get damaged. 

Always pull the power supply plug before 

doing any maintenance or adjustment work, 

including changing the oil.

1

  Never try to remove a part from the com-

pressor while it is pressurized.

2

  Never try to remove an electrical part while 

the compressor is connected to the mains 

supply. Switch the machine off and pull the 

power supply plug.

3

  Do not adjust the safety valve.

4

  Do not use an electrical extension cable.

5

  If the drain plug underneath the switch co-

ver (2) does not work while the ON/OFF 

switch is depressed, switch the power sup-

ply off and try to find the cause for the 

 defect. 

6

  Make sure the lubrication oil is clean and 

the oil level remains in the centre of the red 

circle on the oil sight glass (16). 

7

  Be careful when you vent the tank (from the 

safety valve, the drain plug, or the air 

escape). Compressed air can be extremely 

dangerous. Make sure the air current does 

not whirl up any dust, stones or other 

foreign bodies. Be also sure that the air 

does escape in a safe way.

•   In order to reduce the risk of fire or ex-

plosions, never spray inflammable fluids 

in an enclosed room. It is normal that 

sparks escape from the motor during 

operation. When these sparks get in touch 

with gasoline vapours or inflammable 

liquids, they can ignite and cause fire or 

 explosions. 

•   Always operate the compressor in a well 

vented room. Do not smoke during spray-

ing. Do not spray in the presence of sparks 

or flames. Keep the compressor as far as 

possible away from the spraying place. 

The liquids trichlorethane and methylen-

chloride can cause a chemical reaction 

with aluminium that is used in some paint 

spray cartridges and can cause an explo-

sion. If these liquids are used, make sure 

the spraying is only done with spraying bins 

made of stainless steel. The compressor is 

not impaired by these liquids. 

•   Never inhale directly the compressed air 

produced by the compressor. Do not use 

the compressed air for filling breathing 

 tanks. 

•   Do not use any welding equipment near 

the compressor. Do not weld anything to 

the air tank of the compressor: This could 

dangerously weaken the tank and would 

render the warranty invalid. 

•   Do not work with the compressor in the 

open air while it is raining, or on a wet base. 

Any of these situations could cause an 

electric shock. 

•   Always switch off the compressor after use 

and before doing any maintenance work. 

Press the ON/OFF button and wait until the 

compressed air has escaped from the tank 

via the drain valve. Then pull the power 

supply plug. 

•   Check the maximum admissible pressure of 

all devices used with the compressor. The 

output pressure on the compressor must 

be set in such a way that it never exceeds 

the prescribed pressure of devices or ac-

 cessories.

•   In order to reduce the risk of injury from 

moving parts, never operate the compres-

sor without the guard fitted. Let hot compo-
