26. DO NOT MODIFY THE COMPRESSOR.
Do not modify the compressor. Do not drill into, weld,
patch or modify the air tanks. Do not make adjustments
to the components that control tank pressure. Do not
make alterations to the factory operating pressure
settings. Do not operate at pressures or speeds in
excess of the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Always contact the metabo HPT authorized service
center for any repairs. Unauthorized modi
fi
cation may
not only impair the compressor performance but may
also result in accidents or injury to repair personnel
who do not have the required knowledge and technical
expertise to perform the repair operations correctly.
27. TURN OFF THE POWER SWITCH WHEN THE
COMPRESSOR IS NOT USED.
When the compressor is not used, turn o
ff
the power
switch, disconnect the plug from the power source
and open the drain cock to discharge the compressed
air from the air tank.
28. 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.
29. DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY.
Risk of injury. Do not direct air stream at persons or
animals.
30. 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 the air
tank, open valves slowly and tilt compressor to empty
accumulated water.
Keep face and the other body parts away from outlet
of drain.
Use ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses with side shields when
draining as debris can be kicked up into face.
31. DO NOT STOP COMPRESSOR BY PULLING OUT
THE PLUG.
This could result in damage to the unit.
Use the power switch.
32. 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.
33. THE SAFETY VALVE MUST WORK PROPERLY.
Risk of bursting. Before starting the compressor,
pull the ring on 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 air 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 metabo HPT authorized service center.
