Use and Care Manual

4 ENGLISH
10. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
maintenance and repairs should be performed
by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement
parts.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: MISUSE or failure to follow the
safety rules stated in this instruction manual may
cause serious personal injury.
Symbols
The followings show the symbols used for tool.
Read and understand tool labels and man-
ual. Failure to follow warnings could result
in death or serious injury.
Operators and others in work area must
wear safety glasses with side shields.
Keep ngers away from trigger when
not driving fasteners to avoid accidental
discharge.

The air compressor must comply with the requirements
of ANSI B19.3.
Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air
output to assure cost-efcient operation. The graph
shows the relation between nailing frequency, applica-
ble pressure and compressor air output.
Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of
approximately 60 times per minute at a compression of
0.83 MPa (120 PSIG), a compressor with an air output
over 4 CFM ( ft
3
/minute) is required.
Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to
the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure
exceeds the tool's rated pressure. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the
vicinity.
Selecting air hose
CAUTION: Low air output of the compressor,
or a long or smaller diameter air hose in relation
to the nailing frequency may cause a decrease in
the driving capability of the tool.
