SAFETY RULES

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.
NOT
THINGS 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.
● Pay attention to the work being carried out. Use your common sense. Do not
stand on the compressor. Do not allow the compressor to operate unattended.
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.
● The compressor's performance is guaranteed for operation between 0 and
1000 meters above the sea level.
