1. PRECAUTIONS
B
An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m. corresponds
to the ACOUSTIC POWER value stated on the 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
● 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 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
TO DO
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.
● 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 O (OFF)
position and then to I (ON) again (paragraph 5.4).
● The compressors are fitted with a pressure switch
equipped with a delayed closing air discharge valve
which facilitates start-up of the motor (D 200/8/6 - D
115/8/6 SIL only). Therefore venting of air from this
valve for a few seconds with the receiver empty is
normal.
● 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.
● The red notch on the pressure gauge refers to the
maximum operating pressure of the tank. It does not
refer to the adjusted pressure.
