The present invention initially relates to a method for operating a compressor for compressing air which is driven by an internal combustion engine (01). The invention furthermore relates to a compressor which is suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention. A first turbocharger (07) is arranged in an exhaust gas flow (06) of the internal combustion engine (01) for guiding pre-compressed air to the internal combustion engine (01). In addition, a second turbocharger (08) is arranged in the exhaust gas flow (06) of the internal combustion engine (01) for pre-compressing the air to be compressed by the compressor. The method according to the invention initially comprises a step in which a pressure of the pre-compressed air, which is generated by the first turbocharger (07), is monitored during an operating state of the compressor. In a further method step, the operating state is ended as soon as the monitored pressure falls below a previously determined value.
