1. Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure On/Auto-Off switch lever is set to "Off", the battery is removed, and the air regulator or shut-off valve is closed. 2. Attach hose and accessories. 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. NOTICE: Air pressures above 0.7 MPa (100 PSIG) is recommended. The delivery hoses should be fitted with a safety cord such as wire rope. 3. Install the battery cartridge and turn the On/Auto - Off switch to "On/Auto" and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure. NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. 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: Drain Air Tank Properly. Improper 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. 4. Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your compressor is ready for use. MAINTENANCE 5. Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated 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 outlet of drain. Always wear approved safety glasses with side shields when draining as debris can be kicked up into face. 1. Set the On/Auto - Off switch to "Off" and remove the battery cartridge. 2. Turn the regulator counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero. WARNING: Never use the air compressor 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: Use only genuine Makita replacement parts. Replacement parts not manufactured by Makita may void your warranty and can lead to malfunction and result in injuries. Genuine Makita parts are available from an authorized dealer. WARNING: UNIT CYCLES AUTOMATICALLY 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 THE BATTERY CARTRIDGE IS REMOVED AND BLEED OFF ALL AIR PRESSURE. 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 (20 PSIG) 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 accumulated 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. CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. 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 schedule 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 modifications 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. 11 ENGLISH
