The spring-loaded safety valve (19) is incorporated into the pressure switch. The safety valve opens if the max. per- missible pressure is exceeded.

4. Operation

4.1Prior to initial operation

Wheel installation

1.Install the wheels as illustrated.

4.2Mains connection

BDanger! High voltage

Operate device in dry environ- ment only.

Operate device only on a power source complying with the following requirements:

2.Set pressure regulator (20) to required working pressure. The cur- rent working pressure is indicated by the regulated pressure gauge (21).

A Caution!

The regulated pressure may not be set higher than the max. work- ing pressure of the connected air tools!

3.Connect air hose to compressed air outlet (24).

4.Connect air tool.

You are now ready to work with the air tool.

5.Switch the compressor OFF, if you do not continue working immediately afterwards. Unplug after switching OFF.

5.Care and maintenance

ADanger!Prior to all servicing:

Switch Off.
