PREPARING FOR USE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before connecting your compressor to the mains supply, check the following:-
• The mains voltage is 230V.
• The ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (lower) position.
• The pressure regulator should be set at its lowest setting, i.e. turned fully
anticlockwise.
• If the machine has not been used for 24 hours or so, open the drain valve
to drain any condensate which may have accumulated. When clear,
close the valve, finger tight.
IMPORTANT: If the receiver is under pressure, keep your hands well away
from the air being expelled.... remember, compressed air is DANGEROUS!
WARNING!
Before connecting any air tool, make sure you have read and fully
understood the manufacturers instruction booklet for the tool being used.
Also ensure that the tool is compatible with the compressor and hose
specifications.
If the pressure rating of the tool is less than 8 bar, the pressure regulator must
be used to adjust the output pressure.
1 Attach the air hose to the air outlet tap
using the hose nut. See figure 4.
• Ensure that the drain valve is finger
tight. For the location of the drain
valve, see page 11.
2 Finally, plug the mains cable into the

top of the pressure regulator to switch
the compressor ON.
• The compressor will then charge
the reservoir to 8 bar (116 psi).
When this pressure is reached, the
compressor will switch itself off.
• The compressor will restart
automatically whenever the
pressure in the reservoir falls below
around 6 bar (87 psi).
2 Check the operation of the safety
valve, under pressure, daily by pulling the ring as shown in figure 6. Air
should be released you pull the ring and stop when the ring is released.
• If the valve does not operate as described, or if the valve is stuck, it must
be replaced by qualified service personnel before using the compressor.
WARNING!
Do not remove or attempt to adjust the safety valve.
3 Loosen the locking ring and select the
pressure you need using the pressure
regulator.
4 Tighten the locking ring by holding the
