Product Information

Full details

This Stanley® small compressor is designed for domestic use and craft projects, offering portability and ease of use. Its key benefit is its lightweight design and simple operation, making it accessible for various tasks. A caveat to consider is its suitability primarily for lighter duties due to its 6-liter tank capacity. The compressor features a 1.5 HP motor, delivers 180 l/min of air displacement, and operates up to 8 bar, with an easy-to-read gauge and integrated tool hook and power cord reel.

FAQs

What types of tools can I use with this compressor?

This compressor is best suited for light-duty pneumatic tools such as brad nailers, staple guns, blow guns, and inflation tools. It is not recommended for continuous-use tools like impact wrenches or spray guns that require high air volume.

How long can I use the compressor continuously?

Due to its 6-litre tank, this compressor is designed for intermittent use. For continuous operation, it will cycle on and off to maintain pressure, but prolonged high-demand tasks may exceed its capacity.

What is the included blowing nozzle for?

The blowing nozzle is useful for cleaning dust and debris from work surfaces, electronic components, or hard-to-reach areas.

Can I use this compressor for painting?

While it might be possible for very small touch-up jobs with a suitable low-consumption spray gun, this compressor is generally not recommended for painting tasks due to its limited air displacement and tank size.

How often should I drain the tank?

It is recommended to drain the tank after each use to prevent moisture buildup and corrosion. Open the drain valve at the bottom of the tank until all air and moisture is expelled.

What is the maximum operating pressure?

The maximum operating pressure for this compressor is 8 bar (approximately 116 PSI).

Troubleshooting

Compressor not turning on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.

Low air pressure output

Check that the tank is sufficiently pressurized. Inspect for leaks in hoses or connections. Ensure the tool connected is not exceeding the compressor's air displacement capabilities.

Compressor stops unexpectedly

The compressor may have an overheat protection. Allow it to cool down for 15-20 minutes before restarting. Ensure the air intake is not obstructed.

Excessive moisture in the air

Drain the tank regularly using the drain valve at the bottom to remove condensation. Ensure the compressor is stored in a dry environment.
