SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using your compressor it is in your own interest to read and pay attention to the following safety rules.

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 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 to touch these until the compressor has cooled down.

9. Always set the pressure regulator to the recommended setting for the tool.

10. When spraying flammable materials e.g. cellulose paint, ensure that there is sufficient airflow and keep clear of any source of ignition.

11. Before spraying any material always consult paint manufacturers instructions for safety and usage.

12. Protect yourself. Goggles will protect your eyes from flying particles. Face masks will protect you against paint spray and fumes.

13. Do not apply strain to electrical cables and make sure that air hoses are not kinked or wrapped around the compressor.

14. 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.

15. Make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor and any equipment attached to it.

16. Make sure that all individuals using the compressor have had the necessary training and have read and fully understand these operating instructions.

17. Make sure that any equipment or tool used in conjunction with your compressor, has a safe working pressure exceeding that of the compressor.

18. Be careful when transporting the compressor to prevent tipping over

19. Permanently installed systems must be installed by a competent engineer.

20. These compressors produce noise levels in excess of 70dB(A). Persons working near the compressor must be supplied with ear protection.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

Read this instruction booklet carefully before positioning, operating or adjusting the compressor.

Risk of electric shock. The compressor must be disconnected from the mains supply before removing any covers. Do not use in a damp environment.

Risk of accidental start-up. The compressor could start automatically in the event of a power cut and subsequent reset. Do not carry the compressor while it is connected to the power source, or when the tank is filled with compressed air.

This compressor contains surfaces which may reach a high temperature during operation. Never operate with the motor housing removed.

Wear a safety goggles and ear protectors when using this compressor

This compressor produces a high sound level during operation. Ear protection should be worn.

WARNING! Read these electrical safety 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)

If you are not sure, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT try to do any repairs.

2. Screw the air filter into position.

• The air filter must be hand tight only.

Page 7

FIT THE OIL FILLER CAP

1. Remove the travel plug.

2. Insert the oil filler cap.

MOVING THE AIR COMPRESSOR

CAUTION: TO PREVENT INJURY, GET ASSISTANCE WHEN LIFTING THIS COMPRESSOR.

• Stop the compressor and disconnect it from the power supply before you move it.

• Always use the handle.

• To prevent damage, do not lift by (or put strain on) valves or hoses.

Page 8

BEFORE USE

Before connecting your compressor to the power supply, check the following:-

• Set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position (pushed down).

• Make sure that the compressor is on level ground.

• Make sure that the supply voltage matches the voltage shown on the data label.

CHECK THE OIL LEVEL

1. Make sure that the oil level is half way up the oil sight glass.

If not, remove the oil cap and add oil to the reservoir.

• Only use SAE30 compressor oil,

available from your dealer.

OPERATION

If the compressor has not been used for more then 24 hours, open the drain valve (on the bottom of the reservoir) and drain any condensate which has collected. See page 11

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 ¼" BSP outlet valve..

2. Attach the tool to the end of the air hose.

3. Turn the outlet valve handle to the on position.

NOTE: Th

e outlet valve is shown without the air hose fitted for clarity.

TURNING THE COMPRESSOR ON

1. Plug the compressor into the power supply.

2. Lift the On/Off button.

• The compressor will operate

until the reservoir is fully pressurised. It will then shut down.

• The compressor will start up

again when the pressure in the reservoir decreases.

Page 10

SET THE OUTPUT PRESSURE

When viewed from the front, the left hand outlet valve is adjustable. The right hand outlet valve will only supply the full reservoir pressure and is not adjustable.

1. Use the pressure regulator to set the output pressure of the left hand outlet valve.

• Turn clockwise to increase the

pressu

re.

• Turn counterclockwise to

decrease the pressure.
