Electrical safety
Earthing regulations
This compressor has to be earthed while in use
in order to protect the operator against electrical
shocks. The compressor is provided with a two-
core cable plus an earth. The electrical connection
hastobemadebyaqualifiedtechnician.We
recommend never disassembling the compressor
and neither making any other connections into
the pressure regulator. Repairs should be carried
out by authorised Support Services or by other
qualified centres.
Never forget that the earthing core is the
green or the yellow/green wire. Never
connect this green wire to a terminal
under load.
Beforereplacingtheplugofthefeed,makesure
thattheearthcableisconnected.Ifindoubt,
please call in a qualified electrician and have the
earthing checked.
Power supply
• Thecompressorisequippedwithamains
cable with shock-proof plug. This can be
connected to any 230V~/50Hz shock proof
socket which is protected by a 16A fuse.
• Themotorisfittedwithanoverloadswitch
(15).Ifthecompressoroverloads,the
overload switch switches the equipment off
automatically to protect the compressor from
overheating.Iftheoverloadswitchtriggers,
switchoffthecompressorusingtheON/OFF
switch (3) and wait until the compressor cools
down. Then press the overload switch (15) and
restart the compressor.
• Longsupplycables,extensions,cablereelsetc
cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor
start-up. Do not use cables longer than 10m.
Fermadvisestousealongerairhoseinstead.
• Itcanbemoredifficulttostart-upthemotor
during conditions of temperatures below 0C.
