Daily Start-Up Checklist; Checking The Safety Valve; Connecting Hoses - Makita AC001G Instruction Manual

Automatic shut off system:
If the compressor automatically shuts off before reach-
ing its normal cutoff pressure :
1. Turn the On/Auto-Off switch to "Off" 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-Off switch to "On/Auto" position.
ON/AUTO - OFF switch:
Turn this switch to on (I) position to provide automatic
power to the pressure switch and to off (0) position to
remove power when finished using the compressor or
when compressor will be left unattended.
WARNING:
Always turn off (0) the On/Auto-
Off switch when not in use.
CAUTION:
When carrying the tool, turn off (0)
the On/Auto-Off switch.
Air filter (Air intake):
Keep the air filter clean at all times. Do not operate the
compressor with the air filter removed. The compressor
does not operate at full capacity if the air filter is dirty.
Before using the compressor, always check the air filter
if it is clean. If not, clean the air filter or replace the filter
element.
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.
Safety valve:
If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compres-
sor at its "cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve
will protect against high pressure by "popping out" at
its factory set pressure which is slightly higher than the
pressure switch "cut-out" setting.
Outlet pressure gauge:
The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure
available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pres-
sure is controlled by the regulator and is always less or
equal to the tank pressure.
Tank pressure gauge:
The tank pressure gauge indicates the air pressure in
the tank.
Regulator:
The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by
the regulator knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase
pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure. To
avoid minor re-adjustment after making a change in pres-
sure setting, always approach the desired pressure from
a lower pressure. When reducing from a higher to a lower
setting, first reduce to some pressure less than desired
pressure. Depending on the air requirements of each
particular accessory, the outlet regulated air pressure may
have to be adjusted while you are operating the accessory.
Air outlet:
For regular pressure pneumatic tool, use outlet max
pressure; 0.93 MPa (135 PSIG).
When using a quick coupler in the market, install it to the
air outlet using the two wrenches as shown in the figure.

NOTE: If the quick coupler does not have any air
sealing method, we recommend applying an ade-
quate measure such as a sealing tape.

Daily Start-up Checklist

WARNING:
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Checking the safety valve

Pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure that the
safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does
not operate smoothly, it must be replaced.
WARNING:
valve when the tank is under pressure.

Connecting hoses

WARNING:
• Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing to pre-
vent hose whip. Losing control of the hose may
result in personal injury and property damage.
• Always follow all safety rules recommended
by the manufacturer of hoses, connectors,
air tools, and accessories in addition to
all safety rules for the air compressor.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
