GLOSSARY
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per
minute; a unit of measure of air
delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch
gauge; a unit of measure of
pressure.
CUT-IN PRESSURE: While the
motor is off, 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 compressor,
it begins to run, air pressure in
the air tank begins to build. It
builds to a certain pressure
before the motor automatically
shuts off - protecting your air
tank from pressure higher than
its design rating. The pressure at
which the motor shuts off is
called "cut-out pressure".
DUTY CYCLE
All Makita manufactured air
compressors are recommended
to be operated on not more than
a 50% duty cycle. This means an
air compressor that pumps air
more than 50% of one hour is
considered misuse because the
air compressor is undersized for
the required air demand.

dirt removal should be used
where applicable.
