4.1 Starting the Compressor
- Ensure the compressor is securely mounted and connected to a proper power source.
- Press the On/Off button to the "On" position. The compressor will begin to build pressure in the 2-liter tank.
- Monitor the pressure gauge to observe the pressure build-up. The compressor will automatically shut off once the maximum pressure of 8 Bar is reached.
4.2 Using the Hose and Air Tools
- Pull out the desired length of the 9-meter hose from the integrated reel.
- Connect your air tool to the quick-connect fitting at the end of the hose.
- Operate your air tool as per its specific instructions. The compressor will cycle on and off automatically to maintain pressure as needed.
- After use, disconnect the air tool and gently guide the hose back into the reel for neat storage.
