1. PRECAUTIONS
These compressors are not suitable for outdoor use.
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.
● Have the plug fitted by a qualified electrician according
to local regulations. When starting the compressor for
the first time, check the correct direction of rotation and
that this matches the direction indicated by the arrow on
the belt guard (versions with plastic protection) or on the
motor (versions with metal protection).
● 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 of the pressure switch to switch
off the compressor or use the switch of the electric
panel for models equipped with this. Never switch off
the compressor by pulling out the plug in order to avoid
restart with pressure in the head.
● Always use the handle to move the compressor.
● When operating, the compressor must be placed
on a stable, horizontal surface to guarantee correct
lubrication.
● Position the compressor at least 50 cm from the wall to
permit optimal circulation of fresh air and to guarantee
correct cooling.
NOT
THINGS
● 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.
TO DO
● 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 inexperienced 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.
● Never use the compressor without guards (belt guard)
and never touch moving parts.
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,
S3-50 means 5 minutes ON, 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.
● To facilitate restart of the compressor, in addition to
the operations indicated, it is important to return the
button of the pressure switch to the OFF position and
then to ON again (figures 2a & 2b).
● Operate manually on the button of the pressure switch,
returning this to the ON position, or press the button of
the thermal cutout inside the box of the electric panel
(figure 2d).
