21.OPERATE COMPRESSOR AT THE RATED VOLTAGE. Operate the compressor at voltages specified on their nameplates.
If using the compressor at a higher voltage than the rated voltage, it will result in abnormally fast motor revolution and may damage the unit and burn out the motor.
22.NEVER USE A COMPRESSOR WHICH IS DEFECTIVE OR OPERATING ABNORMALLY.
If the compressor appears to be operating unusually, making strange noises or vibration, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a Hitachi authorized service center.
23.DO NOT WIPE PLASTIC PARTS WITH SOLVENT.
Solvents such as gasoline thinner, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and alcohol may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe them with such solvents. Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth lightly dampened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
24.USE ONLY GENUINE HITACHI REPLACEMENT PARTS. Replacement parts not manufactured by Hitachi may void your warranty and can lead to malfunction and resulting injuries. Genuine Hitachi parts are available from your dealer.
25.DO NOT MODIFY THE COMPRESSOR.
Do not modify the compressor. Do not operate at pressure or speed in excess of manufacturer’s recommendations. Always contact the Hitachi authorized service center any repairs. Unauthorized modification may not only impair the compressor performance but may also result in accident or injury to repair personnel who do not have the required knowledge and technical expertise to perform the repair operations correctly.
26.PUSH THE KNOB OF PRESSURE SWITCH TO OFF WHEN THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT USED.
When the compressor is not used, push the knob of the pressure switch OFF, disconnect it from the power source and open the drain cock to discharge the compressed air from the air tank.
27.NEVER TOUCH HOT SURFACE
To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch tubes, heads, cylinder and motors.
English
28. DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY.
Risk of injury, do not direct air stream at persons or animals.
29. DRAIN TANK
Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture. Drain tank daily or after 4 hours of use. To drain tank open valve slowly and tilt compressor to empty accumulated water.
30.DO NOT STOP COMPRESSOR BY PULLING OUT THE PLUG.
This could result in damage to the unit. Use the “ON/OFF” knob of pressure switch.
31.MAKE SURE THE COMPRESSOR OUTLET PRESSURE IS SET LOWER THAN THE MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE OF THE TOOL.
Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
32.THE SAFETY VALVE MUST WORK PROPERLY.
Risk of bursting. Before starting the compressor pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure the valve moves freely. If the safety valve does not work properly,
