Installation and break-in procedures
Location of the air compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well-ven-
-
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

outlet adapter to remove excessive moisture. Follow the
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
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 recom-
mended 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.
Power supply
nameplate, the allowable tolerance range must remain
within ±5%. If using the compressor at a higher voltage
than the rated voltage, it will result in abnormally fast motor
speed and may damage the unit and burn out the motor.
Extension Cords
To avoid voltage drop, power loss, and overheating of
the motor, use extra air hose instead of an extension
cord. Low voltage can cause damage to the motor.If an
extension cord must be used:
• Make sure the extension cord is in good condition.
Please see the chart below for the MINIMUM extension cord gauge requirements:

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
of air. If piping is over 30.5 m long, use the next larger
size. Bury underground lines below the frost line and
avoid pockets where condensation can gather and
freeze. Apply pressure before underground lines are
DANGER: Improper grounding can result
in electrical shock. Do not modify the plug that
