2. Istruzioni di sicurezza

Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating the compressor. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Sicurezza elettrica: Ensure the compressor is connected to a grounded power outlet with the correct voltage (220-240 V / 50 Hz). Do not operate the compressor with a damaged power cord or plug. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
• Sicurezza della pressione: Never exceed the maximum operating pressure of 6 bars (87 PSI). Do not tamper with the safety/purge valve. Always release air pressure from the tank before performing maintenance or disconnecting accessories.
• Ventilazione: Operate the compressor in a well-ventilated area. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating. Do not cover the compressor during operation.
• Dispositivi di protezione individuale: Wear appropriate eye and respiratory protection when airbrushing.
• Bambini e astanti: Keep children and bystanders away from the operating compressor and airbrushing area.
• Uso previsto: Use the compressor only for its intended purpose as an air source for airbrushing and similar applications. Do not use it for breathing air supply.
• Manutenzione: Scollegare sempre l'alimentazione elettrica prima di effettuare qualsiasi operazione di manutenzione o pulizia.
• Protezione contro il surriscaldamento: The compressor is equipped with automatic overheat protection. If the unit shuts down due to overheating, allow it to cool down completely before restarting.

• Serbatoio d'aria: 3.5-liter capacity, ensures consistent air pressure and reduces compressor cycling.
• Regolatore di pressione: Consente la regolazione della pressione dell'aria in uscita.
• Filtro: Integrated into the pressure regulator to remove moisture and particles from the air.
• Manometro: Displays the current output air pressure.
• Safety/Purge Valve: Located on the air tank for safety and draining condensation.
• Interruttore di alimentazione: Controls the compressor's power.
• Uscita aria: G 1/8" connection for air hose.

5. Impostazione

1. Posizionamento: Place the compressor on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for airflow.
2. Collegare il regolatore di pressione: Screw the pressure regulator assembly onto the air outlet port of the compressor. Hand-tighten firmly.
3. Collegare il tubo dell'aria: Connect your airbrush hose (not included, typically 1/8" fitting) to the output of the pressure regulator. Ensure a secure connection to prevent air leaks.
4. Collegamento elettrico: Plug the power cable into the compressor's power inlet, then into a suitable grounded 220-240V / 50Hz electrical outlet.

6. Istruzioni per l'uso

1. Accensione: Flip the power switch to the "ON" position. The compressor will start to fill the air tank. The manometer will show the increasinpressione g.
2. Funzionamento automatico: The compressor features automatic start/stop functionality. It will automatically stop when the tank pressure reaches approximately 4 BAR (57 PSI) and restart when the pressure drops to approximately 3 BAR (43 PSI).
3. Regolazione della pressione di uscita:
   • Turn the knob on the pressure regulator to adjust the desired working pressure for your airbrush.
   • The manometer will display the regulated output pressure.
   • Once the desired pressure is set, you can lock the knob (if applicable) to prevent accidental changes.
4. Continuous Mode (Optional): This compressor may offer a second mode where it operates continuously and stops at a higher pressure (e.g., 6 BAR). Consult your specific unit's markings or included manual for details on activating this mode, if available. This mode is generally for applications requiring higher, sustained pressure, not typical airbrushing.
5. Spegni: After use, turn off the power switch. Disconnect the airbrush and release any remaining pressure from the air tank by briefly opening the safety/purge valve or by using the airbrush until the pressure gauge reads zero.

7. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare garantisce la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali del compressore. Scollegare sempre l'alimentazione prima di eseguire la manutenzione.

• Scarico della condensa: The air tank accumulates condensation. Regularly drain the water from the air tank using the safety/purge valve at the bottom of the tank. This prevents rust and ensures clean, dry air.
• Filtro dell'aria pulito: The pressure regulator includes an air filter. Periodically check and clean this filter to ensure proper airflow and prevent contaminants from reaching your airbrush. If the compressor has internal cylinder filters, these should also be checked and cleaned as per the manufacturer's instructions (e.g., by unscrewing and cleaning the metallic mesh filters).
• Pulizia generale: Keep the exterior of the compressor clean and free of dust. Ensure ventilation openings are unobstructed.
• Design senza olio: This compressor is oil-free and does not require lubrication. Do not attempt to add oil to any part of the compressor.
