Work Area

•

Work areas and benches should be kept tidy. Cluttered benches and work areas can cause accidents. Floors should be kept clean and free from

rubbish. Special care should be taken when the floor is slippery due to sawdust or wax.

• Always leave sufficient distance, at least 5 metres between the Compressor and the work area, especially when using tools designed for sanding

or spraying liquids.

Work Environment

Do not expose your Compressor to rain or use in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit.

Guard Against Electric Shock

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g., pipes and refrigerators).

Do Not Force Compressors

The Compressor will do a better, safer job and give you much better service if it’s used at the duty cycle for which it was designed. The duty cycle

wi

ll only take effect after the initial (1st) tank fill for the day. This compressors duty cycle is 50%. Duty cycle is the proportion of time during which

the Compressor is operating compared with not operating. For example, a 50% duty cycle could mean after 30 seconds of operation, motor

pumping, the Compressor must be left for 30 seconds resting, motor not pumping. When the motor is pumping the attached air tool cannot be used.

Only use the attached air tool while the Compressor is not pumping. Stop using the attached tool as soon as the Compressor starts pumping.

Use The Right Tool

Select the right tool for the job. Do not use a tool for a job for which it was not designed. Do not force a small Compressor to do the job of a heavy–

duty

Compressor. Do not use the Compressor for purposes not intended.

Do Not Abuse the Power Cord

Never yank or pull on the power cord to disconnect it from the mains supply socket. Never carry or pull your compressor by its power cord. Keep the

power

cord away from heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges. Regularly check the plug and cord and if damaged have it replaced by an authorised

service facility.

Extension Cords and Reels

•

This compressor MUST be plugged directly into a 240V AC wall socket.

• This compressor is NOT designed to be run off an extension cord/lead. If you need extra distance do NOT use an extension cord, USE A

LONGER AIR HOSE.

• The use of extension cords may cause power voltage loss and will result in damage to the motor. This will NOT be covered under warranty.

Secure The Work Piece

Whenever possible secure the work piece using clamps or a vice. It is safer than using your hands or feet and leaves both hands free to control the

tool

.

Hot Components

Beware many of the components will get hot during use. Never touch any of the metal pipes, pump or motor as these may burn.

Operation

Starting and Stopping Your Compressor

NOTE: Always ensure that you plug your compressor into a standard 240V AC power point. Never use

an extension cord as this can lead to a voltage drop which may cause power loss and overheating. Use

a longer air hose if you need to get closer to your work area.

Always start and stop the compressor using the ON/OFF

button on the Pressure Switch (Pic. 1 Item 1 and 2 as well as

Pic. 4). Damage caused by not using this button will not be

covered by warranty.

To turn your Compressor ON:

Lift up the red ON / OFF button on top of the pressure switch.

To turn your Compressor OFF:

Push down the red ON / OFF button on top of the pressure

switch.

Choose a location away from your work area and near to a mains power point.

NOTE: 1. Never use an extension lead. Always use a longer air hose. 2. Always position compressor on

level ground. 3. Always position compressor away from work area so that the compressor does not get

covered in dust or paint - use a longer air hose to ensure compressor is in clean air.

Using The Compressor

Before starting run through this simple list:

1. Ensure the compressor is fully assembled.

2. Drain tap – open and drain tank.

3. Drain tap – close fully.

4. Check power lead for any damage. If damaged have replaced by an authorised service centre.

10. Connect your air hose and air tools.

11. Reconnect to the power lead to the power point and turn ON.

12. Turn your compressor ON.

13. Once turned on and you begin using the connected air tools the compressor will start and stop without

warning. This is controlled by the pressure switch. These pressure settings are factory set and should not be

changed.

Pumping starts at (minimum) 85PSI and stops at (maximum) 115PSI. Once the initial pump-up stage has

finished you can use the compressor. Remember to adjust the outlet air pressure to the tools recommended

working pressure and open the tap fully.

Tool Configuration

The configuration of tools and accessories can be varied to suit your particular requirements. A basic

recommended set up is shown in Pic. 6 (accessories not included).

When you have finished using your compressor follow these simple steps:

1. Turn your compressor OFF, using the ON/OFF button.

2. Turn the power point OFF and disconnect the power lead.

3. Disconnect your air tools and air hose.

4. Clean your air hose and air tools.

5. Store your air hose and air tools in a secure well-ventilated cabinet.

6. Slowly open the tank drain tap. This allows excess air and moisture, water, to vent.

7. Leave the tank drain tap open. This allows any moisture to drain while the inflator is stored.

NOTE: Use of a water trap may be of benefit t to ensure no water or moisture reaches your air tools.

Adjusting The Pressure

•

To adjust the outlet air pressure, use the regulator knob and check the pressure on the outlet pressure

gauge.

•

If the pressure needs to be lower, turn anti clockwise.

•

If the pressure needs to be higher, turn clockwise.

•

Use the gauge to ensure you set the correct working pressure.

NOTE: Different air tools require different operating pressures. Always check with the tool manufacturer

if unsure.

Safety Valve

NOTE: When checking the safety valve, ALWAYS wear safety glasses.

•

To check the operation of the safety valve the air tank will need to be full. Gently pull the ring outwards. This

should release air under pressure. Release the ring and this should stop the air out flow once the pressure

has dropped.

•

If the safety valve does NOT work in this manner, STOP the compressor immediately and have the

compressor checked / serviced by an authorised service centre.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This compressor has been supplied with no adjustable regulator and gauge. Outlet

pressure is 8 Bar (115 PSI). If you require a lower pressure for your air tool, please buy an adjustable

regulator and gauge from your stockist.
