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 to use your accessory or air tool. When the tank pressure drops to a certain level the motor will restart automatically re-started is called "cut-in pressure". CUT-OUT PRESSURE: When you turn on your air compressor, it begins to 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 on not 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 requires oil. Now you can enjoy all the benefits of having an oil lubricated professional air compressor. When oil is changed regularly, it will give you long, trouble-free life. Your air compressor can be used for operating paint spray guns, air tools, caulking guns, grease guns, air brushes, sandblaster, inflating tires or spraying weed killers, insecticides, etc. An air pressure regulator is supplied for these applications. Separate air transformers which combine the functions of air regulation and/or moisture and dirt removal should be used where applicable. ON-RECEIPT INSPECTION DAMAGE: Each air compressor outfit 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 Page 7
