Using the Makita MAC100Q air compressor is a breeze. First, find a flat and stable surface to place the compressor. Then, plug it into a suitable power outlet. The low AMP draw means it's less likely to trip breakers at startup. Once it's powered on, the motor will start filling the 1 - gallon tank. You can check the pressure on the large and easy - to - read gauges. When you need to use it for tasks like case and base installation or carpentry work, connect your tools using the included 1/4' universal quick coupler. As for maintenance, since it has an oil - free dual - piston pump, you don't have to worry about oil changes. Just make sure to drain the air tank regularly using the lever - handle tank drain. Also, when you're done using it, wrap the power cord neatly using the cord wrap for storage. The roll - cage construction protects the pump and motor, but try to avoid rough handling during transport. And if the compressor runs for a long time, the built - in thermal overload will protect the motor from overheating. That's all you need to know to get the most out of your Makita MAC100Q air compressor.
