Glossary
MPa (megapascal): Metric pressure measurement. 1
megapascal equals to 10 bar.
Cut-in pressure:Whilethemotoriso󰀨,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 compres-
sor, it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins
to build. It builds to a certain pressure before the motor
automaticallyshutso󰀨-protectingyourairtankfrom
pressure higher than its design rating. The pressure at
whichthemotorshutso󰀨iscalled“cut-outpressure”.
On-receipt inspection
DAMAGE:Eachaircompressoroutt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.
Installation and break-in procedures
Location of the air compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well-ven-
tilatedarea.Theairltermustbekeptclearofobstruc-
tions, which could reduce air delivery of the air compres-
sor. The air compressor should be located at least 305
mm away from the wall or other obstructions that will
interferewiththeowofair.Theaircompressorhead
and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling.
Ifhumidityishigh,anairltercanbeinstalledonthe
air outlet adapter to remove excessive moisture. Follow
theinstructionspackagedwiththeairlterforproper
installation.
Placetheaircompressoronaatsurfacesothatitis
resting securely on the rubber feet.
WARNING: Risk of Falling
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The air compressor can fall from a table, workbench,
or roof causing damage to the compressor and could
resultinseriousinjuryordeathtotheoperator.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Always operate compressor in a stable secure
position to prevent accidental movement of the com-
pressor. Never operate compressor on a roof or other
elevated position. Use additional air hose to reach
high locations.
Operating temperature
The operating temperature of this compressor is
between 0°C and 40°C.
CAUTION: Never operate the compressor in
the temperatures below 0°C and above 40°C.
Duty cycle
All Makita manufactured air compressors are rec-
ommended to be operated on not more than a 50%
duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps
air more than 50% in one hour is considered misuse
because the air compressor is undersized for the
required air demand.
Piping
Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed for use with com-
pressed air. Regardless of its indicated pressure rating,
plastic pipe can burst from air pressure. Use only metal
pipe for air distribution lines. If a pipe line is necessary,
use pipe that is the same size, or larger than, the air
tankoutlet.Pipingthatistoosmallwillrestricttheow

size. Bury underground lines below the frost line and
avoid pockets where condensation can gather and
freeze. Apply pressure before underground lines are

Battery protection system
This compressor is equipped with a battery protection
system.Thissystemautomaticallycutso󰀨powertothe
motor to extend compressor and battery life. The com-
pressor will automatically stop during operation if the
compressor/battery is placed under one of the following
conditions:
Overloaded
The compressor/battery is operated in a manner that
causes it to draw an abnormally high current. In this
situation,turnthecompressoro󰀨andstoptheapplica-
tion that caused the compressor to become overloaded.
Then turn the compressor on to restart.
If the compressor does not start, the battery is over-
heated. In this situation, let the battery cool before
turning the compressor on again.
Low battery voltage
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the
compressor will not operate. If you turn the tool on,
the motor runs again but stops soon. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery cartridge.
Protections against other causes
Protection system is also designed for other causes that
could damage the compressor and allows the tool to
stop automatically. Take all the following steps to clear
the causes, when the compressor has been brought to
a temporary halt or stop in operation.
1. Turnthecompressoro󰀨,andthenturnitonagain
to restart.
2. Charge the battery or replace it/them with
recharged battery.
3. Let the compressor and battery cool down.
If no improvement can be found by restoring protection
system, then contact your local Makita Service Center.

Description of operation
WARNING: Risk of Noise
• Wear hearing protection to protect your
ears against exhaust noise and noise during
operation.
Drain valve:
The drain valve is located at the bottom of the air tank
and is used to drain condensation at the end of each
use.
Automatic shut o󰀨 system:
Ifthecompressorautomaticallyshutso󰀨beforereach-
ingitsnormalcuto󰀨pressure:
1. TurntheOn/Auto-O󰀨switchto"O󰀨"position.
2. Remove the battery cartridge.
3. Wait until the compressor cools down. (about 10
min.)
4. Install the battery cartridge.
5. TurntheOn/Auto-O󰀨switchto"On/Auto"position.

Air lter (Air intake):
Keeptheairltercleanatalltimes.Donotoperatethe
compressorwiththeairlterremoved.Thecompressor
doesnotoperateatfullcapacityiftheairlterisdirty.

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 valve:
When the air compressor is operating, the check valve
is “open”, allowing compressed air to enter the air tank.
When the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure,
the check valve “closes”, allowing air pressure to remain
inside the air tank.
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-out” pressure.
