2.5 Service
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
3 PRECAUTIONS
3.1 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.
 For three-phase versions have the plug fitted by a qualified electrician according to local
regulations. The first time you start the compressor, check that the direction of rotation is
correct and matches that indicated by the arrow on the conveyor (Fig. 1, the air must be
conveyed towards the head of the compressor).
 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
 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.

food or medical purposes except after particular treatments and cannot be used to fill the
