SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using your compressor it is in your own interest to read and pay attention to the following safety precautions.
1. Compressed air is dangerous. DO NOT point a jet of air at persons or animals and do not discharge compressed air against the skin.
2. DO NOT operate your compressor with the guard removed.
3. Repairs must only be carried out by a qualified engineer. If problems occur, contact your MACHINE MART dealer.
4. Before carrying out any maintenance, make sure that the pressure is released from the air reservoir and that the compressor is disconnected from the electrical supply.
5. DO NOT leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.
6. DO NOT adjust, or tamper with the safety valves. The maximum pressure is factory set and clearly marked on the compressor.
7. DO NOT operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the compressor dry at all times. Similarly, clean air will allow the compressor to work efficiently. DO NOT use in dusty or otherwise dirty locations.
8. Some of the metal parts can become quite hot during operation. DO NOT touch/ remove these until the compressor has cooled down.
9. When spraying flammable materials e.g. cellulose paint, ensure that there is sufficient airflow and keep clear of any source of ignition.
10. Before spraying any material always consult paint manufacturers instructions for safety and usage.
11. Protect yourself. Goggles will protect your eyes from flying particles. Face masks will protect you against paint spray and fumes.
12. DO NOT apply strain to electrical cables and make sure that air hoses are not kinked or wrapped around the compressor.
13. When disconnecting air hoses or other equipment from your compressor, make sure that the air supply is turned off at the outlet and vent all pressurised air from within the reservoir and other equipment attached to it.
14. Make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor and any equipment attached to it.
15. Make sure that all individuals using the compressor have had the necessary training and have read and fully understand these operating instructions.
16. Make sure that any equipment or tool used in conjunction with your compressor, has a safe working pressure exceeding that of the compressor.
17. Be careful when transporting the compressor to prevent tipping over
18. Permanently installed systems must be installed by a competent engineer.
19. These compressors produce noise levels in excess of 70dB(A). Persons working near the compressor must be supplied with ear protection.

WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS SUPPLY.
Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or because of damage, it must be removed and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be discarded safely, as insertion into a power socket could cause an electrical hazard.
WARNING: THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE OF THIS PRODUCT ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE: BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE YELLOW AND GREEN = EARTH
If the colours of the wires in the power cable do not agree with the markings on the plug.
• The BLUE wire must be
connected to the terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
• The BROWN wire must
be connected to the terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
• The YELLOW AND
GREEN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked E or or coloured green.
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply through a Residual Current Device (RCD).

• Do not lift by (or put strain on) valves or hoses.
• Avoid moving the machine if the tanks is fully pressurised.

ATTACHING AIR TOOLS

WARNING: BEFORE CONNECTING AIR TOOLS, MAKE SURE THAT YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THE TOOL, ALSO ENSURE THAT THE TOOL IS SUITABLE FOR USE WITH THE COMPRESSOR AND HOSE SPECIFICATIONS.
1. Attach the air hose to the outlet valves.
2. Attach the air tool to the other e
nd of the air hose.
3. Turn the outlet valve handle to the on position.
NOTE: The outlet valve is shown
without the air hose fitted for clarity.

CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE

To make sure that the safety valve works correctly;
1.
Unscrew and pull the valve by gripping it with pliers as shown.
• Air will be released when you pu
ll hard on the valve and stop
when released.
2. If the valve does not operate in this way, do not use the compressor. The compressor must be repaired by a qualified service agent.

.

USING THE RESET BUTTON

This compressor has a thermal overload device.
If the motor gets too hot, the thermal overload device cuts the power which prevents damage to the motor.
If the thermal overload device operates, let the motor cool down for 5 minutes and push the reset button.
If you start the compressor and the overload cutout operates again, stop the compressor and disconnect from the power supply and have your compressor examined by a qualified service agent.

CHECK THE OIL

Ensure the oil level is between the min and max marks on the dipstick. See “Check the Oil level” on page 6 and top-up if necessary - (use SAE30 compressor oil, available from your MACHINE MART dealer).

CLEAN THE AIR FILTER

The air filter must be examined monthly, more often in dusty conditions.
1. Remove the securing bolt and pull the filter from the compressor.
2. Unclip the front and rear of the filter and pull out the filter element.
3. Clean the filter using a soft brush.

REPLACING THE OIL

After the first 100 hours use, replace the oil using SAE30 compressor oil. Then replace the oil after every 500 hours of operation or every 6 months.
To empty the oil from the machine, remove the oil drain plug from the crankcase.

CHECKING THE NON-RETURN VALVE

If the reservoir pressure decreases for no apparent reason it is possible that the non-return valve is leaking. To check this:
1. Make sure that the reservoir is not under pressure and the compressor is switched OFF.
2. Examine the non-return valve, and replace the gasket and valve
essary.
