Operation
19
− Set the compressor up in a location with dry and clean air. Do not use it in
the rain or in wet rooms and in areas where work is performed with spray-
ing water.
− Before each use, make sure that there is enough oil in the compressor.
• The built-in pressure monitor controls the build-up and release of
pressure in the compressor:
The compressor switches off once the pressure in the compressed
air tank reaches the set maximum level and it switches back on
when the pressure in the compressed air tank drops to the set
minimum level. By factory default, a maximum value of 8 bar and a
minimum value of 6 bar are set.
If the pressure in the compressed air tank increases uncontrollably,
the safety valve will automatically open to reduce the tank pres-
sure. By pulling the ring of the safety valve, you manually open the
safety valve and as a result, are able to reduce the tank pressure.
• The compressor is equipped with a pressure reducing mechanism.
You can set the control pressure as needed. Many pneumatic tools
require less pressure than the maximum pressure generated by
this compressor.
• To check the proper function of the compressor, fill the compressed
air tank with air at maximum pressure after the device has been
switched on.
Using the compressor
1. Make sure that you have taken all preparatory steps with the compressor before
using it (see chapter “Preparation”).
2. Make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to the electrical data on the rating
plate. The permissible variance amounts to no more than 5 %.
3. Make sure that the On/Off switch
3
is set to the “
OFF 0
” position (see
Fig. G
).
4. Make sure that the drain cock
10
for condensed water is closed (see
Fig. A
).
5. Check the oil level at the viewing window of the oil drain plug
13
and, if neces-
sary, add oil (see chapter “Adding and changing oil”).
6. Connect the mains plug to a properly installed socket with earthing contact.
7. Connect a pneumatic tool to one of the two quick couplings
14
/
16
so that it au-
dibly locks into place (see
Fig. A
).
The adjustable control pressure can be determined on the left quick coupling and
the uncontrolled tank pressure can be determined on the right quick coupling.
8. Set the On/Off switch to the “ON 1” position by pulling it out slightly (see
Fig. G
).
The compressor has now been switched on and is starting up.
