Air compressor Metabo BASIC 300-50 — Metabo portable 50 L tank, oil-lubricated motor

Metabo BASIC 300-50 is a portable air compressor with a 50-litre pressure tank and an oil-lubricated motor designed for workshop and construction environments. The unit provides steady compressed air for pneumatic tools, inflation and spraying tasks, and is built for continuous operation with attention to durability and service life. Portable design and industry-standard fittings make it suitable for both trade and maintenance applications.

Advantages

The oil-lubricated motor reduces wear and supports longer continuous running compared with non-lubricated alternatives, while the 50 L tank smooths pressure delivery and reduces pump cycling. The compressor offers stable output suitable for common pneumatic tools and painting equipment, and its portable chassis allows relatively easy repositioning on jobsites or in workshops. Construction-oriented design and straightforward controls simplify routine use and upkeep.

Suitable for

• Operating nail guns, staplers and impact wrenches
• Airbrushing and spray painting small to medium surfaces
• Inflating tyres, sports equipment and inflatable objects
• General workshop use, maintenance and light construction tasks

Key specifications

• Tank capacity: 50 litres
• Motor lubrication: oil-lubricated design for extended durability
• Portability: compact chassis intended for workshop and jobsite movement
• Intended use: continuous operation for pneumatic tools, inflation and spraying
• Connections: standard compressed-air fittings for tool compatibility

How to use

Place the compressor on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation and connect to a correctly rated power supply. Check oil level before first use and during regular intervals, following the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations. Open the outlet valve and allow the tank to reach the target pressure; adjust the regulator to match the requirements of the connected pneumatic tool or spray equipment. Monitor pressure gauges and listen for abnormal noises. After use, shut off power, bleed remaining air from the tank and close valves according to safe handling procedures.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, maintain regular oil checks and scheduled service intervals, use appropriate pressure settings for each tool to avoid overloading the motor, and drain condensation from the tank frequently when operating in humid conditions.
