• Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design: • Damage to the lungs if an effective breathing mask is not worn. • Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn. • Damage to the eyes if effective safety goggles or shield are not worn. WARNING. In the event that an air line is cut or broken, the air line needs to be immediately disconnected from the
The pressure in the tank is controlled by the action of the pressure switch located under the pressure switch cover (2). When the set maximum pressure is reached the pressure switch activates and the motor is switched off. The pressure then decreases as the air is used by the connected tool until the set minimum pressure is reached after which the pressure switch causes the motor to switch on again. The operator of the compressor should be well aware that during use of the compressor the motor w
A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance, including renewing the lubricating oil. • To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, never spray flammable liquids in a confined area. It
The operator of the compressor should be well aware that during use of the compressor the motor will start and stop under the influence of the rising or falling pressure in the tank. The motor will start without any warning. 2. The maximum and minimum pressures are factory set and the operator should not try to change them. 3. You can connect an accessory to either the direct outlet valve (4) and/or the regulated outlet valve (7). The regulated outlet is the one on the left when you face the fro
Replace the oil as indicated in the Maintenance section of this Manual. • Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, breathing or respirator mask and protective clothing. Wear goggles. Wear earmuffs. Wear a breathing or respirator mask. Never apply the outlet air of this compressor directly on to any part of a person’s body. Do not attempt to block the air outlet with your finger or any part of your body. The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any us
After the first 10 hours of working, empty the crank case of oil and refill with clean oil by removing the crank case oil plug (left hand side of the crank case at the bottom) NOTE. Use good quality compressor lubricating oil. • SAE30 or L-DAB 100 over 10°C • SAE10 or L-DAB 68 under 10°C 2. After each subsequent 500 hours of operation, again drain the oil and refill the crank case with clean oil. 3. After each day of operation, use the drain cock (11) under the tank to drain off any condensate.

If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal inju
Open the valve by rotating the air tap (17) so it is in line with the air outlet (refer to the OPEN picture). To close the valve, rotate the air tap so it is facing to the right or the left side of the air valve (refer to the CLOSED picture). 4. Start the compressor by following the procedure in the section “To start and stop the compressor”. For the first time of operation, run the compressor for 10 minutes with no load and with the outlet valve open to ensure all parts are well lubricated. WAR

Note. Grip the rubber straps at the fixed end and stretch evenly over the tank until the straps are connected securely to the support brackets. WARNING. When extending the rubber straps be careful. If released early they can flick back and hurt you. Make sure that your face is at a safe distance from the rubber straps while they are being stretched. CAUTION. Over stretching the rubber straps may result in fracturing the straps. 6. Reconnect the tank 1 inlet hose (25) onto the combination valve (
