How to use

Place the compressor on a stable, level surface and connect it to a properly grounded power outlet. Before first use, inspect connections and check oil level if the model requires oil. Attach the suitable hose or pneumatic tool to the outlet, set the regulator to the required pressure (not exceeding 8 bar) and start the compressor following the manufacturer’s safety instructions. Monitor the pressure gauge during operation, allow the motor to cool as needed, and switch off and depressurize the system before making adjustments or changing fittings. Regularly drain condensate from the 6 L tank to prevent internal corrosion.

Recommendations

Use fittings and hoses rated for 8 bar or higher, follow METABO maintenance intervals, wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with compressed air, and store the compressor in a dry, well-ventilated area.
