Quick guide from the manual
The Einhell Pressito 18V Hybrid Compressor is a versatile tool designed for inflating car, motorcycle, and bicycle tires, as well as sports balls, air mattresses, and similar items. It also features a low-pressure blower function for deflating large-volume items. The device can be powered via a standard mains connection (220-240V) or by an 18V rechargeable battery (not included). Note that the device does not charge the battery.
Device Description
The compressor features a handle, an accessory storage compartment, an air hose for blowing, a compressed air hose with a valve adapter, and an air hose connection for suction. The control panel includes a display, a selector switch for power source (mains/battery), a selector switch for operation mode (compressed air/off/low-pressure blower), and buttons to adjust pressure and units (bar, PSI, kPa).
Operation
Compressed Air Mode
Use the compressed air hose (5) for inflation. Connect the appropriate adapter (bicycle, conical, or ball valve) to the object. Set the selector switch (12) to compressed air mode. Use the buttons (14, 16) to set the desired pressure, which is shown on the display (11). The compressor will automatically stop once the target pressure is reached. Allow the compressor to cool down for 5 minutes after every 5 minutes of operation.
Low-Pressure Blower Mode
For inflating or deflating large-volume items (e.g., air mattresses), connect the air hose (3) to either the inflation connection (4) or the suction connection (13). Set the selector switch (12) to low-pressure mode and turn the device on. Turn it off manually once the object is sufficiently inflated or deflated.
Safety and Maintenance
Always wear ear protection. The device generates an electromagnetic field that may affect medical implants; consult a doctor if necessary. Before cleaning, always remove the battery and unplug the device. Keep air vents and the motor housing free of dust and dirt. Wipe with a clean cloth or blow out with low-pressure compressed air. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
Storage
Store the device and accessories in a dark, dry, and frost-free place, ideally between 5°C and 30°C. Keep out of reach of children.

Practical help
Common problems
Check if the power socket has voltage and if the charger contacts are clean and making proper contact.
Allow the compressor to cool down for 5 minutes after every 5 minutes of continuous operation.
This is normal due to overpressure in the air hose just before the device switches off.
Before use
