SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using your compressor it is in your own interest to read and pay attention

to the following safety rules.

1. Compressed air is dangerous. Do not point a jet of air at persons or animals, and do

not discharge compressed air against the skin.

2. DO NOT operate your compressor with the guard removed.

3. Repairs must only be carried out by a qualified engineer. If problems occur, contact

your Clarke dealer.

4. Before carrying out any maintenance, make sure that the pressure is released from

the air receiver, and that the compressor is disconnected from the electrical supply.

5. DO NOT leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.

6. DO NOT adjust, or tamper with the safety valve(s). The maximum pressure is factory

set, and clearly marked on the compressor.

7. DO NOT operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the compressor dry at all times.

Similarly, clean air will allow the compressor to work efficiently. Do not use in dusty or

otherwise dirty locations.

8. Some of the metal parts can become quite hot during operation. Do not touch

these until the compressor has cooled down.

9. Always set the pressure regulator to the recommended setting for the tool used.

10. When spraying flammable materials e.g. cellulose paint, ensure that there is

sufficient airflow and keep clear of any source of ignition.

11. Before spraying any material always consult paint manufacturers instructions for

safety and usage.

12. Protect yourself. Goggles will protect your eyes from flying particles. Face masks will

protect you against paint spray and fumes.

13. Do not apply strain to electrical cable and make sure that air hoses are not kinked or

wrapped around the compressor.

14. When disconnecting air hoses or other equipment from your compressor, make sure

that the air supply is turned off at the outlet and vent all compressed air from within

the reservoir and other equipment attached to it.

15. Make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor and

any equipment attached to it.

16. Make sure that all individuals using the compressor have had the necessary training

and have read and fully understand these operating instructions.

17. Make sure that any equipment or air tool used in conjunction with your compressor,

has a safe working pressure exceeding that of the compressor.

18. Be careful when transporting the compressor to prevent tipping over

19. Permanently installed systems must be installed by a competent engineer.

20. This compressor produces noise levels in excess of 70dB(A). Persons working near the

compressor must be supplied with ear protection.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

Read this instruction booklet carefully before positioning,

operating or adjusting the compressor.

Risk of electric shock. The compressor must be

disconnected from the mains supply before removing any

covers. Do not use in a damp environment.

Risk of accidental start-up. The compressor could start

automatically in the event of a power cut and subsequent

reset. Do not carry the compressor while it is connected to

the power source, or when the receiver is filled with

compressed air.

This compressor contains surfaces which may get hot

during operation. Never operate with the motor housing

removed.

Wear safety glasses and ear protectors when using this

compressor.

This compressor produces a high sound level during

operation. Ear protection should be worn.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply

through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.

If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or

because of damage, it must be removed and a replacement fitted, following

the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be discarded safely, as

insertion into a power socket could cause an electrical hazard.

If the colours of the wires in the power cable do not agree with the markings

on the plug:

• The BLUE wire must be

connected to the

terminal which is

marked N or coloured

black.

• The BROWN wire must

be connected to the

terminal which is

marked L or coloured

red.

• The YELLOW AND

GREEN wire must be

connected to the terminal which is marked E or or coloured green.

We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply

through a Residual Current Device (RCD)

If you are not sure, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT try to do any

repairs.

WARNING! Read these electrical safety instructions thoroughly

before connecting the product to the mains supply.

WARNING! The wires in the power cable of this product are

coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue = Neutral Brown = Live Yellow and Green = Earth

be repaired by a qualified service

agent.

SET THE OUTPUT PRESSURE

1. Check the pressure requirement on the tool being used, it can usually be

found on the rating plate or inside the user manual.

2. Use the pressure regulator to set

the output pressure.

• Turn clockwise to increase the

pressure.

• Turn counterclockwise to

decrease the pressure.

GAUGES
