Vzduchový kompresor Metabo BASIC 280-50 W 1700 W 280 l/min 8 bar

The Metabo BASIC 280-50 W is a compact, mobile air compressor designed for general-purpose workshop and site use. It is driven by a 1700 W motor that provides an intake capacity of 280 l/min and a maximum working pressure of 8 bar. The unit features a horizontal tank layout and two wheels for easier transport, making it suitable for small to medium pneumatic tasks where a portable and reliable source of compressed air is required.

Advantages

The compressor combines a robust 1700 W drive with a relatively high intake capacity of 280 l/min to support a range of pneumatic tools. Its 8 bar maximum pressure covers common applications such as nailing, stapling and inflating. The compact construction and two-wheel design improve portability, while the horizontal tank layout saves space in a workshop or vehicle. The machine is engineered for straightforward operation and routine maintenance.

Suitable for

• Operating pneumatic nailers and staplers
• Inflating tyres, sports equipment and inflatable products
• Powering airbrushes and small spray guns
• Blowing dust from workpieces and equipment
• General workshop tasks requiring intermittent compressed air

Key specifications

• Motor power: 1700 W
• Intake capacity: 280 l/min
• Maximum pressure: 8 bar
• Tank type: horizontal
• Mobility: two wheels for transport
• Design: compact, workshop/site-oriented

How to use

Place the compressor on a level, stable surface and ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Connect the air hose and required pneumatic tool or accessory to the outlet fitting, then set the pressure regulator to the required working pressure up to the 8 bar maximum. Start the motor using the control switch and allow the tank to fill to the cut-out pressure. Monitor the pressure gauge during use and switch off the compressor when not in use. Drain condensate from the tank regularly via the drain valve to prevent corrosion and maintain performance.

Recommendations

Use appropriate safety equipment such as eye and hearing protection when operating pneumatic tools. For prolonged or heavy-duty use, allow periodic cooling intervals for the motor and follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule, including oil checks and filter replacement if applicable. Store the unit indoors or under cover to protect it from moisture and freezing conditions.
