Once you have figured out where you want to place the air compressor and whether the hose length is adequate enough to reach your work area – you should set up the compressor on isolator pads. This will provide stability and minimize the noise caused by vibrations. If required, fix an air filter to the compressor side to make sure the dispensed air is clean. If you the air compressor is electrically powered, then select a proper power outlet before activating any tools. Instead of power extensions, it is better to use hose extensions for reaching necessary voltage dropout. Now, you can plug any tools as required. Make sure to check the oil levels before using it. Once the machine is turned on, air will be filled automatically to its maximum level. And then it will switch off until the air is used. It can be refilled again when required.
