10. Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be
caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
11. Don't abuse power cord
Never yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep power cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Maintain compressor with care
Follow instructions for lubricating. Inspect cords
periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized
service facility.
13. Use a safe extension cord
In order to prevent an electric shock, use a 3-core
extension cord with a 3-pole earthing plug and a 3-core
earthing plug socket.
Make sure that the extension cord is in the good working
condition. If the cord is damaged, replace or repair
it. The cord should have a suffi cient capacity for the
current running to the product. The cord of an insuffi cient
capacity will cause a voltage drop or an electric power
loss, resulting in overheating.
The following table shows the cord size used depending
on the cord length.
If the compressor is to be used outdoors, use an
exclusive extension cord.

WARNING
Avoid electrical shock hazard. Never use this compressor
with a damaged or frayed electrical cord or extension
cord. Inspect all electrical cords regularly. Never use in
near water or in any environment where electric shock is
possible.
14. Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate compressor when you are tired. Compressor
should never be used by you if you are under the
infl uence of alcohol, drugs or medication that makes you
drowsy.
15. Check damaged parts and air leak
Before further use of the compressor, a guard or other
part which 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 aff ected its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service facility
unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this Instruction
Manual. Have defective pressure controllers replaced by
authorized service facility.
Do not use compressor if switch does not turn it on and
off .
16. Operate 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 personal.
17. Keep all screws, bolts and covers tightly in place
Keep all screws, bolts, and plates tightly mounted.
Check their conditions periodically.
18. Keep motor air vent clean
The motor air vent must be kept clean so that air can
freely fl ow at all times. Check for dust build-up frequently.

19. Operate compressor at the rated voltage
Operate the compressor at voltages specifi ed 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.
20. Never use a compressor which is defective or
operating abnormally
If the compressor appears to be operating unusually,
making strange noises, or otherwise appears defective,
stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by an
authorized service facility.
21. Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent
Solvent such as gasoline, thinner, benzine, 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 mild
detergent and dry thoroughly.
22. Use only genuine replacement parts
Replacement parts not original may void your warranty
and can lead to malfunction and resulting injuries.
Genuine parts are available from your dealer.
23. Do not modify the compressor
Do not modify the compressor. Always contact the
authorized service facility any repairs. Unauthorized
modifi cation 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.
24. Turn off the switch when the compressor is not
used
When the compressor is not used, turn the switch OFF,
disconnect the plug from the power source and open the
drain cock to discharge the compressed air from the air
tank.
25. Never touch the surface of the high-temperature
section
In order to prevent a burn, do not touch the piping, head,
cylinder, motor and inverter case.
26. Do not direct air stream at body
Risk of injury, do not direct compressed air at persons or
animals.
27. Drain tank
Drain tank daily or after 4 hours of use.
Open drain cock and tilt compressor to empty
accumulated water.
28. Do not stop compressor by pulling out the plug
Use the " ON/OFF " switch.
29. 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 reducer outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure
rating.
30. Whenever using the high pressure side of the Hitachi
high pressure compressor, the genuine parts for the
Hitachi high pressure tools, high pressare air hose
and compressor must be used.
31. Replacement parts
When servicing, use only Hitachi genuine parts. Repair
should be conducted only by authorized service facility.
32. Never use a transformer for the power supply of
this compressor. Using a transformer to increase
the voltage will cause a failure or burnout. (If a
transformer is used, operation of the machine will
stop.)
