1.
Before attaching air hose or accessories, make
sure the ON/AUTO - OFF switch is set to "off" and the
air regulator or shut-off valve is closed.
2.
Attach hose and accessories. Too much air pres-
sure 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.
NOTICE:
Air pressures above 0.7 MPa (7 bar)
is recommended. The delivery hoses should be
fitted with a safety cord such as wire rope and the
minimum working pressure of the hose must be
over 1.0 MPa (10 bar).
3.
Turn the ON/AUTO - OFF switch to "on" and allow
tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pres-
sure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
4.
Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust
the regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your com-
pressor is ready for use.
5.
Always operate the air compressor in well-venti-
lated areas; free of gasoline or other solvent vapors. Do
not operate the compressor near the spray area.
When you are finished:
Disconnecting hoses
WARNING:
Risk of Unsafe Operation
Firmly grasp hose in hand when disconnect-
•
ing to prevent hose whip. Losing control of
the hose may result in personal injury and
property damage.
•
Air tanks contain high pressure air. Keep
face and other body parts away from out-
let of drain. Always wear approved safety
glasses with side shields when draining as
debris can be kicked up into face.
1.
Set the the ON/AUTO - OFF switch to "off".
2.
Turn the regulator counterclockwise to set the
outlet pressure to zero.
3.
Remove the air tool or accessory.
4.
Open the drain valve located at the lower part of
the air tank. Tank pressure should be below 0.14 MPa
(1.4 bar) when drain the air tank.
5.
Tilt the tank so that the drain valve is directly
below and drain.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting
Tilt tank to drain.
WARNING:
To drain tank, open the drain
valve slowly and tilt compressor to empty accu-
mulated water. Keep face and eyes away from the
drain valve.
WARNING:
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.
NOTICE:
Risk of Property Damage
Always drain water from the air tank. The water
may contain oil and rust which can cause stains.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pres-
sure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then
reinstalled.
NOTE: Compressed air generates condensate which
accumulates in the tank, filter, or other parts. The
condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances
which may be regulated. Follow the regulations in
your region when disposing of the condensate.
6.
After the water has been drained, close the drain
valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
WARNING:
draining of the air tank can result in corrosion and
possible bursting of the tank. Tank bursting could
lead to personal injury and property damage.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
which is operating abnormally.
If the air compressor appears to be operating
unusually, making strange noises or vibration,
stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs
by a Makita authorized service center.
WARNING:
ment parts.
Replacement parts not manufactured by Makita
may void your warranty and can lead to malfunc-
tion and result in injuries. Genuine Makita parts
are available from an authorized dealer.
WARNING:
WHEN POWER IS ON. WHEN DOING
MAINTENANCE, YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO
VOLTAGE SOURCES, COMPRESSED AIR
OR MOVING PARTS. PERSONAL INJURIES
CAN OCCUR. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR, THE TOOL IS
SWITCHED OFF AND BLEED OFF ALL AIR
PRESSURE.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the
air compressor unit, a routine maintenance sched-
ule should be prepared and followed. The following
procedure is geared to a unit in a normal working
environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary,
the schedule should be modified to suit the conditions
under which your compressor is used. The modifica-
tions will depend upon the hours of operation and the
working environment. Compressor units in an extremely
dirty and/or hostile environment will require a greater
frequency of all maintenance checks.
