- Initial Check: Before first use, ensure all connections are secure and the drain valve is closed.
5. Operating Instructions
This section details how to operate your compressor for various applications.
5.1 Starting the Compressor
- Ensure the power cable is securely plugged in.
- Turn the power switch to the "ON" position. The compressor will start to fill the air tank until the maximum pressure (8 bar) is reached, then it will automatically shut off.
- Monitor the tank pressure gauge to confirm it reaches the desired level.
5.2 Adjusting Output Pressure
- Attach your air tool to the quick coupling.
- Use the pressure reducer knob to set the desired operating pressure. The regulated operating pressure gauge will show the current output pressure.
- The compressor will automatically restart when the tank pressure drops below a preset minimum, maintaining consistent air supply.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your compressor.
6.1 Draining Condensation
Condensation accumulates in the air tank during operation. It is crucial to drain this regularly to prevent corrosion and maintain air quality.
- Ensure the compressor is turned off and unplugged.
- Place a suitable container under the drain valve located at the bottom of the tank.
- Slowly open the drain valve to release the condensed water.
- Close the drain valve securely once all water has been drained.
- Perform this procedure after each use or at least weekly, depending on usage frequency and humidity.
