4. Confirm the power receptacle

If the power receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact the nearest electric store for repair service.

If such a faulty receptacle is used, may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.

5. Dipstick insertion and oil level check

(If your compressor is EC10SB(SL) this step is not necassary.)

Use a screwdriver or similar tool to remove the plastic cap on the lower part of the cylinder (Fig. 3).

WARNING:Drain tank to release air pressure before removing the dipstick.

WARNING:Make sure air vent in dipstick is free from debris. If air vent is blocked pressure can build in crankcase causing damage to compressor and possible personal injury.

When the oil volume is insufficient, refer to the section “Oil change-oil topping off” on page 10 for a descrip- tion of how to supply the oil.

6. Right running position

Position the compressor on a flat surface , in a well ventilated area away from atmospheric agents and not in explosive areas.

TRANSPORT

Push the knob of the pressure switch to "OFF" and disconnect it from the power source before move the compressor. Transport the compressor in the correct manner.

OPERATION

1. Start up

Insert the plug into the receptacle and start the compressor by pulling the knob of the pressure switch to “ON” (Refer to Fig. 2).

WARNING: Do not stop or start the compressor by use of the plug. Always use “ON/ OFF” knob located on the pressure switch.

The operation of the compressor is automatic and is controlled by the pressure switch which stops it when the pressure in the air-tank reaches the maximum level and restart it when the air pressure drops during use to the restart level.

The motor of the compressor is fitted with a thermal protection inside-the wrap, which stops the compressor when the temperature is too high. Should this be tripped, the compressor will restart automatically after 15-20 minutes.

2. Adjustment of working pressure

Unlock the knob of the pressure reducer pulling it up, adjust the pressure to the required level by turning the knob clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease.

A pressure gauge (B) is provided to know when the required pressure is reached, lock the knob by pushing it down firmly (Refer to Fig. 5).

When adjusting the pressure, check and make sure that a pressure gauge for the tank has the pressure level that is higher than that of the pressure to be adjusted.

It is also imperative that you make adjustment by slowly starting up the pressure from the level that is lower than the pressure to be adjusted.

WARNING: Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for nailers, staplers and accessories. Compressor outlet pressure must be regulated so as to never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the nailers, staplers and accessories.
