Operation Manual

9 ENGLISH
4. Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the
vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the
ejection port area.
5.
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
6. Never point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
7. Do not rush the job or force the tool. Handle
the tool carefully.
8. Do not activate the tool unless the tool is
placed rmly against the workpiece.
9. Never hold or carry the tool with a nger on the
trigger or hand it to someone in this condition.
Accidentalringcancauseseriousinjury.
10. Never use fastener driving tools marked with
the symbol "Do not use on scaffoldings, lad-
ders" for specic application for example:
— when changing one driving location to
anotherinvolvestheuseofscaffoldings,
stairs,ladders,orladderalikeconstructions,
e.g.rooflaths;
— closing boxes or crates;
— ttingtransportationsafetysystemse.g.on
vehicles and wagons.
11. Check walls, ceilings, oors, roong and
the like carefully to avoid possible electrical
shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by
striking live wires, conduits or gas pipes.
12.
Do not use the tool for fastening electrical
cables.Itisnotdesignedforelectriccableinstalla-
tionandmaydamagetheinsulationofelectriccables
therebycausingelectricshockorrehazards.
13. Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
whenworkinginhighlocations,andsecuretheair
hosetopreventdangerifthereissuddenjerking
or catching.
14. On rooftops and other high locations, drive
fasteners as you move forward. It is easy to lose
yourfootingifyoudrivefastenerswhileinching
backward.Whendrivingfastenersagainstperpen-
dicularsurface,workfromthetoptothebottom.
Youcanperformdrivingoperationswithless
fatiguebydoingso.
15. A fastener will be bent or the tool can become
jammed if you mistakenly drive fastener on
top of another fastener or strike a knot in the
wood. The fastener may be thrown and hit
someone, or the tool itself can react danger-
ously. Place the fasteners with care.
16. Do not leave the loaded tool or the air com-
pressor under pressure for a long time out in
the sun. Be sure that dust, sand, chips and
foreign matter will not enter the tool in the
place where you leave it setting.
17. Never attempt to drive fasteners from both the
inside and outside at the same time. Fasteners
mayripthroughand/oryoff,presentingagrave
danger.
Service
1. Perform cleaning and maintenance right after
nishing the job. Keep the tool in tip-top condi-
tion. Lubricate moving parts to prevent rusting and
minimizefriction-relatedwear.Wipeoffalldust
fromtheparts.
2. Ask Makita authorized service center for peri-
odical inspection of the tool.
3. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
maintenance and repairs should be performed
by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
