Usage
The Metabo Basic 160-6W OF portable, oil-free compressor is designed for tasks such as stapling, nailing, blowing out, inflating tires, and operating cartridge or grease guns in workshops or on-the-go environments.
Advantages
- Compact and lightweight design allows easy transport and space-saving storage thanks to its folding handle and small footprint.
- Oil-free piston technology minimizes maintenance needs and simplifies operation.
- Adjustable working pressure with clear manometers ensures precise control for different applications.
- Equipped with overload protection to safeguard the motor from overheating during intensive use.
- The sound pressure level of approximately 82 dB makes it relatively quieter than many compressors in its class; however, users should still consider ear protection during prolonged operation.
Specifications
- The compressor features an oil-free piston system housed in a robust compact casing (dimensions: 340 x 300 x 290 mm), weighing only about 8.4 kg for enhanced portability.[1][3][5]
- A durable construction is supported by a ten-year tank warranty against rust-through; rubber feet add stability during use and transport.[1]
- Suction capacity: up to 160 l/min; filling capacity: up to 65 l/min; effective air delivery at working pressure (80% max): approximately 55 l/min; maximum pressure: up to 8 bar.[1][3][5]
- Differentiated by an easily readable instrument panel for both tank and output pressures as well as a user-friendly ball valve for condensate drainage.[1][7]
How it works
This compressor uses an electric motor to draw in air via a piston pump, compressing it into a six-liter tank without requiring oil lubrication. The compressed air is then available through adjustable outlets for various pneumatic tools or inflation tasks.[1][5]
