10.1 Cleaning
• Keep the equipment free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or
blow it down with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the equipment im-
mediately after you use it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaningagents or
solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic
parts in the equipment. Ensure that no water can
get into the interior of the equipment.
• You must disconnect the hose and any spraying
tools from the compressor before cleaning. Do not
clean the compressor with water, solvents or the
like.
10.2 Maintenance work on the pressure vessel/
condensed water (Fig. 1/2)
m Important!
To ensure a long service life of the pressure ves-
sel (5), drain off the condensed water by opening
the drain valve (11) each time after using.
Release the vessel pressure first. Open the drain
screw by turning counter-clockwise (looking at the
screw from the bottom of the compressor) so that
all the condensed water can run out of the pres-
sure vessel. Then close the drain screw again (turn
it clockwise). Check the pressure vessel for signs of
rust and damage each time before using.
Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty
pressure vessel. If you discover any damage, then
please contact the customer service workshop.
10.3 Safety valve (Fig. 2/12)
The safety valve (12) has been set for the highest
permitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is not
permitted to adjust the safety valve or remove the
connection lock (12.2) between the exhaust nut (12.1)
and its cap (12.3).
Actuate the safety valve every 30 operating hours
but at least 3 times a year, to ensure that it works
when required. To open the safety valve outlet, turn
the perforated drain nut (12.1) counterclockwise.
Now, the valve audibly releases air. Then, tighten
the exhaust nut clockwise again.
10.4 Storage
m Important!
Pull out the mains plug and ventilate the equip-
ment and all connected pneumatic tools. Switch
off the compressor and make sure that it is se-
cured in such a way that it cannot be started up
again by any unauthorized person.
m Important!
Store the compressor only in a dry location
which is not accessible to unauthorized persons.
Always store upright, never tilted!
10.4.1 Releasing excess pressure
Release the excess pressure by switching off the
compressor and using the compressed air which
is still left in the pressure vessel, e.g. with a com-
pressed air tool running in idle mode or with a blow-
out pistol.
10.4.2 Storage power cord, hose and
accessories (Fig. 3/4)
• The power cord can be stored sideways of the com-
pressor.
• The air hose can be stored in the tool compartment.
• On the inside of the tool compartment (10) can be
stored accessories.
