On consulting my hand-dandy Pocket Ref for the conversion factor, it seems
that your switch turns ON at 106 PSI and OFF at 135 PSI
(1 kg-force per cm2 = 14.223 pound-force per in2)
So, if this switch is working, then it shouldn't "hold back" the
compressor.
Maybe 3 phase switches operate differently than single phase?

PS if you already don't have one, then a regulator (or adjustable pressure
switch) would be a good thing to have... when you get the compressor
working, of course
Lots of tools don't like real high pressures. Others need it.
