Using the Makita MAC320Q air compressor is a breeze. First, make sure it's placed on a flat and stable surface. Connect the AC power cord to a suitable electrical outlet. You'll notice that the low - AMP draw reduces the chances of tripping breakers when you start it up. Then, attach your air tools using the included 1/4' Universal Quick Couplers. The large pressure gauges let you easily monitor the tank and hose pressure. For indoor tasks, enjoy the quiet operation at 60 dB. When it comes to maintenance, since it has an oil - free dual - piston pump, you don't have to worry about oil changes. But it's a good idea to check the pump and motor assembly regularly, especially if you've been using it on a rough job site. The roll - cage construction provides some protection, but still, handle it with care during transportation. Also, remember to drain the air tank using the lever - handle tank drain after each use to prevent moisture buildup. And if the compressor ever gets too hot, the built - in thermal overload will kick in to protect the motor. Just let it cool down before using it again.
