9. Handle compressor correctly.
Operate the compressor according to the instructions
provided herein. Never allow the compressor to be
operated by children, individuals unfamiliar with its
operation or unauthorized personnel.
10. Keep motor air vent clean.
The motor air vent must be kept clean so that air
can freely flow at all times. Check for dust build-up
frequently.
11. 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 HiKOKI authorized service
center.
12. Turn offthe power switch when the compressor is
not used.
When the compressor is not used, turn offthe power
switch, remove the battery and open the drain valve to
discharge the compressed air from the tank.
13. Never touch hot surface.
To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch the delivery
pipe, check valve or pump.
These areas can remain hot for at least 45 minutes
after this compressor is shutdown.
Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.
14. Drain tank.
Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the tank. If
not drained, water will corrode and weaken the tank
causing a risk of tank rupture.
Drain tank daily or after 4 hours of use. To drain the
tank, open valves slowly and tilt compressor to empty
accumulated water.
Keep face and the other body parts away from outlet of
drain.
Use the safety glasses with side shields when draining
as debris can be kicked up into face.
15. Do not stop compressor by removing the battery.
This could result in damage to the unit.
Use the power switch.
16. 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.
17. The safety valve must work properly.
Risk of bursting. Before starting the compressor, rotate
the safety valve to make sure that the safety valve
operates smoothly. If the safety valve does not work
properly, over-pressurization may occur, causing tank
rupture or an explosion. Do not use compressor if the
safety valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly.
Have defective safety valve replaced by a HiKOKI
authorized service center.
18. Protect material lines and air lines from damage or
puncture.
Keep the hose and power cord away from sharp
objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors.
19. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before
each use, making certain all connections are
secure.
Do not use if a defect is found. Purchase a new hose or
notify an authorized service center for examination or
repair.
20. Keep the exterior of the air compressor dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or
any strong solvents to clean the unit. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of deterioration of the enclosure
plastic.
21.Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or
snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance
or footing and may become damaged.
22. Never leave a compressor unattended with the air
hose attached.
23. Do not operate this compressor if it does not
contain a legible warning label.
24. Do not continue to use a compressor or hose that
leaks air or does not function properly.
25. Always disconnect the air supply and battery
before making adjustments, servicing a
compressor, or when a compressor is not in use.
26. Do not attempt to pull or carry the air compressor
by the hose.
27. Your tool may require more air consumption than
this air compressor is capable of providing.
28. Inspect compressor hoses periodically and,
if damaged, have repaired at your nearest
authorized service center.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of injury.
29. Because the cordless air compressor operates
by battery power, be aware of the fact that it can
begin to operate at any time.
30. Check damaged parts and air leak.
Before further use of the compressor, a guard or
other part is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, air leak, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by a HiKOKI authorized
service center.
Have defective power switches replaced by a HiKOKI
authorized service center.
Do not use compressor if power switch does not turn it
on and off.
31. Keep all screws, bolts and guards tightly in place.
Keep all screws, bolts, and guards tightly mounted.
Check their conditions periodically.
32. Do not direct air stream at body.
Risk of injury. Do not direct air stream at persons or
animals.
33. Release the pressure within the system slowly.
Dust and debris may be harmful.
34. Always charge the battery at a temperature of
0°C–40°C. A temperature of less than 0°C will result in
over charging which is dangerous. The battery cannot
be charged at a temperature higher than 40°C.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that of
20°C–25°C.
35. Do not use the charger continuously.
When one charging is completed, leave the charger for
about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.
36. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
37. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
38. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.
Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to
the battery.
