The handling and lifting: hold the handle only when move or transport the compressor. To avoid injuring, do not touch the cylinder, cylinder head or exhaust hose and other over-heated parts when the compressor is in use or shuts off within one hour. A\ WARNING Transport a The maximum bevel during traction is at least 30° b Do not apply vehicles for traction. & Do not place compressor under inflammable, explosive or erosive service: GLOSSARY CFM: Cubic feet per minute. SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery. PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge: a unit of measure of pressure. CUT-IN PRESSURE: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue lo use your accessory or air tool. When the tank pressure drops lo a certain level the motor will restart automatically. This is called *cut-in pressure”. CUT-OUT PRESSURE: When you turn on your air compressor, it begins lo run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain pressure before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its design rating. The pressure at which the motor shuts off is called “cut-out pressure”. DUTY CYCLE All Makita manufactured air compressors are recommended to be operated at no more than a 50% duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is considered misuse because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. GENERAL INFORMATION This air compressor is equipped with an Oil-Less pump designed for durability and no maintenance: The compressor can be used for properly rated pneumatic nailers and staplers. An air pressure regulator is supplied for these applications. A\ WARNING: Never use compressor for applications other than to operate a properly rated nailer or stapler. Use of the compressor for other applications could result in property damage and personal injury. Separate air fier regulators combine the functions of air regulation and/or moisture and dirt removal should be used where applicable. ON-RECEIPT INSPECTION DAMAGE: Each air compressor outfi is carefully tested and checked before shipment. With improper handling, damage may result in transit and cause problems with ‘compressor operation. Immediately upon arrival, check equipment for both concealed and visible damages to avoid expenses being incurred to correct such problems. This should be done regardless of any visible signs of damage to the shipping container. If this product was shipped directly to you, report any damages to the carrier and arrange for inspection of goods immediately. STORAGE Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following

1. Review the “Maintenance” and “Operating

Procedures" sections and perform maintenance as necessary. Be sure to drain water from the air tank.

2. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage

{such as being stepped on or run over). Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

DRAIN VALVE: The drain valve is located at the bottom of the air tank and is used to drain condensation from the tank at the end of each use or daily.

THERMAL CIRCUIT BREAKEI

The electric motor has a manual reset thermal cirouit breaker. If the motor overheats for any reason, the circuit breaker will Shut off the motor. Turn pressure switch to the “off position and wait for unit to cool before pushing the reset button and restarting the compressor.

PROTECTOR: When the current rating of the motor is exceeded the thermo-protector will open and shut off the motor automatically. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. The compressor will automatically restart after the motor has cooled down. ON/AUTO - OFF SWITCH: Turn this switch to “on” to provide automatic power to the pressure switch and to “off” to remove power when finished using the compressor or when compressor will be left unattended. AIR INTAKE FILTER: This filter is designed to clean air coming into the compressor pump. This filter must always be clean and free from obstructions. See “Maintenance”. AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP: To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder, On the down stroke, air is drawn in through the air intake valve. The exhaust valve remains closed. On the upstroke of the piston, air is compressed. The intake valve closes and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valve, through the outlet tube, through the check valve and into the air tank. Useable air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet. CHECK VALVI When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is “open”, allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches “eut-out" pressure, the check valve “closes”, allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank. PRESSURE SWITCH UNLOADING VALVE: The pressure switch unloading valve located on the side ofthe pressure switch, is designed to automatically release compressed air from the compressor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches “eut-out” pressure. PRESSURE SWITCH: The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops to the factory set “cut-in” pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set “cut-oul” pressure. SAFETY VALVE: Ifthe pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its "cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by “popping out” at its factory set pressure which is slightly higher than the pressure switch ‘cut-out” setting OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always less or equal to the tank pressure. See “Operating Procedures”. TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The tank pressure gauge indicates the air pressure in the tank. REGULATOR: The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by the regulator knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure. To avoid minor re-adjustment after making a change in pressure setting, always approach the desired pressure from a lower pressure. When reducing from a higher to a lower setting, first reduce the pressure less than the desired pressure. Depending on the air requirements of each particular accessory, the outlet regulated air pressure may have to be adjusted while you are operating the accessory. COMPRESSED AIR OUTLET: “HP” marking For High Pressure Pneumatic Tool Exclusive Use Outlet Max Pressure; 2.6 MPa (26 bar) COMPRESSED AIR OUTLET; “RP” marking For Regular Pressure Pneumatic Tool Use Outlet Max Pressure; 0.9 MPa (9 bar)

Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well- ventilated area. The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions, which could reduce air delivery of the air compressor. The air compressor should be located at least 0.3 m away from the wall or other obstructions that would interfere with the flow of air. The air compressor head and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. Ifhumidity is high, an air filter can be installed on the air outlet adapter to remove excessive moisture. Follow the instructions packaged with the air filter for proper installation. Place the air compressor on a level surface so that it rests securely on the rubber feet. LUBRICATION This air compressor is equipped with an Oil-Less pump designed for durability and no maintenance: Power supply Operate the compressor at voltages specified on the nameplate, the allowable tolerance range must remain within 45%. If using the compressor at a higher voltage than the rated voltage, it wil result in abnormally fast motor speed and may damage the unit and burn out the motor.
