If you have a competitor's hose, use the included 1/8 BPS adaptor. Plug in the compressor and turn it on. When you start using the airbrush, the compressor will start working. When you stop using the airbrush, the auto - shutoff feature will turn off the compressor to save energy. As for maintenance, keep the compressor in a clean and dry place. Check the hoses regularly for any signs of wear or damage and replace them if needed. Also, make sure the piston compressor is well - lubricated according to the manufacturer's instructions. When not in use, carry it by the handle and store it safely.
