25. DO NOT MODIFY THE COMPRESSOR
Do not modify the compressor. Always con-
tact the authorized service facility for any re-
pairs. 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 per-
form the repair operations correctly.
26. 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 dis-
charge the compressed air from the air tank.
27. NEVER TOUCH THE SURFACE OF THE
HIGH-TEMPERATURE SECTION
In order to prevent a burn, do not touch the
piping, head, cylinder, motor, tank, inverter
case and other metal parts.
28. DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY
Risk of injury, do not direct compressed air at
persons or animals.
29. DRAIN TANK
Drain tank daily.
30. DO NOT STOP COMPRESSOR BY PULL-
ING OUT THE PLUG
Use the "POWER" switch.
31. WHENEVER USING THE HIGH PRESSURE
SIDE OF THE MAX POWERLITE COMPRES-
SOR, THE GENUINE PARTS FOR THE MAX
POWERLITE TOOLS, POWERLITE HOSE
MUST BE USED.
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.)
33. NEVER CONNECT THE COMPRESSOR
TO AN ENGINE GENERATOR OR DI-
RECT-CURRENT POWER SUPPLY
The compressor will break or be damaged
from burning.
34. THIS COMPRESSOR IS FOR INDOOR
USE. DO NOT INSTALL THE COMPRES-
SOR IN ANY PLACE EXPOSED TO RAIN
OR SPLASHED WATER, HIGH-HUMIDITY
PLACE OR HIGH-TEMPERATURE PLACE
If used in the wet condition, it could produce
an electric shock or be short-circuited, result-
ing in ignition. Use it under the environmen-
tal conditions provided by its specifications.
Also, do not store or use in cold environ-
ments.
35. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A
FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable
substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Vol-
atile fumes from these substances could be
drawn into the compressor and compressed
together with the air and this could result in
an explosion.
36. NEVER USE THE TOOL IN AN EXPLO-
SIVE ATMOSPHERE
Sparks from the tool may ignite atmospheric
gases, dust or other combustible materials.
37. BE SURE TO EARTH THE COMPRESSOR
Earth the compressor to prevent a worker
from getting an electric shock. It comes with
a 3-pole cord and a 3-pole earthing plug so
that it can be connected to an appropriate
earthing plug socket.
A green-and-yellow striped wire is an earth-
ing conductor. Never connect it to other
charged terminals.
