WARNING
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. The compressor must be disconnected from the mains supply before maintenance or 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.
Read and understand instructions before use.
Always wear eye/face and hand protection.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
KEEP VISITORS/CHILDREN AWAY: Do not allow visitors/children to handle the air compressor or attachments and ensure that any people in the
work area are suitably dressed.
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN: Cluttered areas mean accidents, so
clear the work area of all unnecessary tools, debris and furniture.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES: During operation, the motor, connections, compressor body, cylinder head and tubes may get hot, do not
touch.
DO NOT DIRECT AN AIR STREAM AT THE BODY: Do not direct the
air stream at people or animals, as injury may result. Compressed air
can cause soft tissue damage and propel dirt and other particles at high
speed.
BREATHING AIR: This compressor should not be used to supply breathing quality air. Never use it as breathing apparatus.
STAY ALERT: Watch what you are doing, use common sense, and do not
operate the air compressor when you are tired. The air compressor should
not be used if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any medi-
cation that makes you drowsy.
DISCONNECT THE AIR COMPRESSOR: Always disconnect the air compressor from the mains power supply and decompress before performing
maintenance, changing any parts and when not in use.
MAINS POWER CABLE PRECAUTIONS: Never pull on the cable when
removing the plug from the mains socket, or lift the compressor by the
mains cable.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING: When connecting the air compressor to the mains supply make sure the red button on top of the air compressor is in the OFF (down) position.
STORE THE AIR COMPRESSOR PROPERLY: When not in use the air
compressor should be stored in a secure, dry place out of the reach of
children. Always lock up the storage area.
MAINTAIN THE AIR COMPRESSOR WITH CARE: If the air compressor is
damaged in any way, have it repaired by a qualified engineer.
DO NOT USE EXTENSION LEADS: Using extension leads can cause your
compressor motor to burn out. Only use extension hoses.
DO NOT WELD TO THE PRESSURE VESSEL
Do not weld or modify the pressure vessel in any manner.
DISPOSAL INFORMATION
The air compressor should be disposed of in a safe an environmentally
friendly manner. Contact your local Council for disposal assistance.

SETTING UP THE COMPRESSOR
SETTING UP THE COMPRESSOR
IMPORTANT! Before starting the machine remove all the
travel plugs and attach the Air Filter and the Crank Case
Breather Plug.
The compressor is
equipped with a safety
valve. If the pump were to
continue operating above
the maximum pressure,
the safety valve would
open and eject air from
the vessel. If the safety
valve discharges air, please turn off the compressor and contact the hel-
pline. The safety valve is located to the side of the pressure switch.
Filling the sump with oil
Pour approximately 0.5L of oil into the sump until the oil level reaches the
red spot in the centre of the sight glass (see image below). Once the oil
has reached the correct level re-insert the oil breather plug.

Starting the Air Compressor
Once the air compressor is connected to the mains supply use as follows:
a) Pull up the button on the pressure switch this will ‘click’ up into posi-
tion. The motor/pump will now start to run.
b) Check that the motor/pump automatically stops when the pressure
inside the air receiver reaches approximately (10BAR) (check gauge). Ro-
tate the air regulator to the desired outlet pressure and plug in hose with
chosen air tool connected to the other end. The air is now ready for use.
You may need to finely adjust as the air tool is used.
c) Check that the motor/ pump automatically starts, when the pressure
falls by approximately 2BAR.
When the compressor is running correctly you will hear the following:
a) When the air compressor starts from no pressure within the tank there is
a whistle of ‘leaking’ air from the pressure switch for about 20-30 seconds.
b) Whenever the motor stops there will be a quick sudden discharge of
air. (This is the motor start and stop air unloading system being activated).

Shutting down the Air Compressor
Never stop the compressor by unplugging it. The pressure switch must
always be used as this ensures that air is discharged from the head. This
makes the starting easier for the motor and prevents motor damage.

MAINTENANCE
Changing the oil
Switch off the motor and remove the power plug from the socket outlet.
Release any remaining air pressure and then unscrew the oil drain plug
from the compressor pump and remove. Direct the oil into an appropriate
container. If any oil still remains, tilt the compressor slightly. When all the
old oil has been removed, screw the oil drain plug into place.
Cleaning
Clean the items with a soft brush or a wipe moistened with a suitable bio-
degradable solvent. Do not use flammable liquids like petrol or alcohol,
they are a risk and will damage the finish and plastic parts.
Cleaning/ changing the air filter (Monthly)
Please note: This compressor should not be used in a heavily dusty atmos-
phere. The warranty does not cover damage caused by a blocked air filter.
The air filter must be cleaned or replaced monthly, or more frequently if
the compressor is in regular use. The air filter can be accessed easily by
unscrewing the air filter cover (wing nut) at the side of the pump.
Excessive oil consumption
1. Oil level too high
2. Breather pipe choked up
3. Piston ring and cylinder

worn or damaged
1. Keep the level within set range
2. Check and clean
3. Repair or replace

ADJUSTING THE CUT OFF PRESSURE
ADJUSTING THE CUT OFF PRESSURE
If your compressor cuts out before 10 bar:
Your compressor has been tested during manufacture and the cut off
pressure may be set at 6 bar or 8 bar, rather than 10 bar.
Most applications do not require 10 bar air pressure so we recommend
leaving the cut off pressure at the factory setting unless explicitly required.
If you wish to increase the tank pressure to 10 bar first open the switch
box by unscrewing the single screw:
Then turn the 10mm nut clockwise to increase the pressure and counter-
clockwise to decrease the pressure. Make a half turn on the nut in either
direction, then wait for the tank pressure to equalise. Make further half
turns if required.
