Preserve all the documentation so that anyone who uses the
compressor can consult this beforehand.
SAFETY RULES
1
This symbol indicates warnings to be read before using the product so as
to prevent injury to the user.
Compressed air is a potentially dangerous form of energy; always take
great care when using the compressor and its accessories.
Warning: the compressor may restart when power is restored following
a blackout.
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m. corresponds to the ACOUSTIC
POWER value stated on the yellow label located on the compressor,
minus 20 dB.
THINGS TO DO
● The compressor must be used in a suitable environment (well
ventilated with an ambient temperature of between +5°C and +40°C)
and never in places affected by dust, acids, vapors, explosive or
flammable gases.
● Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters between the
compressor and the work area.
● Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor during painting operations
indicates that the distance is too short.
● Inserttheplugoftheelectriccableinasocketofsuitableshape,voltage
andfrequencycomplyingwithcurrentregulations.
● Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and of suitable
cross-section.
● The use of extension cables of different length and also of adapters and
multiple sockets should be avoided.
● Always use the switch I/O to switch off the compressor.
● Always use the handle to move the compressor.
● Whenoperating,thecompressormustbeplacedon astable,horizontal
surface.
THINGS NOT TO DO
● Neverdirectthejetofairtowardspersons,animalsoryourbody.(Always
wear safety goggles to protect your eyes against flying objects that may be
liftedbythejetofair).
● Neverdirectthejetofliquidssprayedbytoolsconnectedtothecompressor
towards the compressor.
● Never use the appliance with bare feet or wet hands or feet.
● Never pull the power cable to disconnect the plug from the socket or to
move the compressor.
● Never leave the appliance exposed to adverse weather conditions.
● Never transport the compressor with the receiver under pressure.
● Donotweldormachinethereceiver.Inthecaseoffaultsorrusting,replace
the entire receiver.
● Never allow inexpert persons to use the compressor. Keep children and
animals at a distance from the work area.
●Thisapplianceisnotintendedforusebypersons(includingchildren)with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been givensupervisionorinstruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
● Donotpositionflammableornylon/fabricobjectsclosedtoand/oronthe
compressor.
● Nevercleanthecompressorwithflammableliquidsorsolvents.Checkthat
you have unplugged the compressor and clean with a damp cloth only.
● The compressor must be used only for air compression. Do not use the
compressor for any other type of gas.
● The compressed air produced by the compressor cannot not be used
for pharmaceutical, food or medical purposes except after particular
treatments and cannot be used to fill the air bottles of scuba divers.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
● To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor is
designed for intermittent operation as indicated on the technical
dataplate(forexample,S3-25means2.5minutesON,7.5minutesOFF).In
thecaseofoverheating,thethermalcutoutofthemotortrips,automatically
cutting off the power when the temperature is too high. The motor restarts
automatically when normal temperature conditions are restored.
● All the compressors are fitted with a safety valve that is tripped in the case
of malfunctioning of the pressure switch in order to assure machine safety.
 Thesafetyvalveissettoavoidover-pressurizationoftheairtanks.This
valveisfactorypre-setandwillnotfunctionunlesstankpressurereaches
this pressure. Do not attempt to adjust or eliminate this safety device.
Any adjustments to this valve could cause serious injury. If this device
requiresserviceormaintenance,seeanAuthorizedServiceCenter.
● Whenfittingatool,theflowofairinoutputmustbeswitchedoff.
● The red notch on the pressure gauge refers to the maximum operating
pressure of the tank. It does not refer to the adjusted pressure.
● Whenusingcompressedair,youmustknowandcomplywiththesafety
precautionstobeadoptedforeachtypeofapplication(inflation,pneumatic
tools,painting,washingwithwater-baseddetergentsonly,etc.).
● Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working pressure
ofthepneumatictoolandconnectionpipes (withthe compressor)to be
used,arecompatiblewiththepressuresetonthepressureregulatorand
with the amount of air supplied by the compressor.
● Do not cover the air inlets on the compressor.
● Do not open or tamper with any part of the compressor. Contact an
authorized Service Center.
