IMPORTANT SAFETY TOOL USE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: WHEN USING THIS TOOL, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. For personal safety and proper operation and maintenance of the tool, read this instruction manual carefully before using the tool. Wear light but not loose clothing. Sleeves should be buttoned or rolled up. No necktie should be worn.
General Tool Handling Guidelines: I 1.Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. 2. Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not. 3.Never depress the operating control unless the nosepiece of the tool is directed toward the workpiece. 4. Respect the tool as a working implement. 5. No horseplay. 6. Do not transport the tool with the operating control depressed. 7.
There may be local regulations concerning noise which must be complied with by keeping noise levels within prescribed limits. In certain cases, shutters should be used to contain noise. I Shutter Do not tamper with the tool or attempt t o use it for other than nailing. Do not play with the contact arm; it prevents accidental discharge, so it must be kept on and not removed. Securing the trigger in the ON position is also very dangerous. Never attempt to fasten the trigger.
Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose screws before operation. Tighten as required. Make sure all safety systems are in working order before operation. The tool must not operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only the contact arm is pressed against the wood. It must work only when both actions are performed. Test for possible faulty operation with nails unloaded and with the pusher locked at fully pulled position.
Use only nails specified in this manual. The use of any other nails may cause malfunction of the tool. Do not permit those uninstructed t o use the tool. .Make sure no one is nearby before nailing. Never attempt t o nail from both the inside and outside at the same time. Nails may rip through and/or fly off, presenting a grave danger. Watch your footing and maintain your balance with the tool.
On rooftops and other high locations, nail as you move forward. It is easy t o lose your footing if you nail while inching backward. When nailing against perpendicular surface, nail from the top t o the bottom. You can perform nailing operations with less fatigue by doing so. A nail will be bent or the tool can become jammed if you mistakenly nail on top of another nail or strike a knot in the wood. The nail may be thrown and hit someone, or the tool itself can react dangerously. Place the nails with care.
.Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the ejection port area. *When the air hose is connected, do not carry the tool with your finger on the trigger or hand it to someone in this condition. Accidental firing can be extremely dangerous. Handle the tool carefully as there is high pressure inside the tool that can be dangerous if a crack is caused by rough handling (dropping or striking). Do not attempt t o carve or engrave on the tool.
Always disconnect the air hose and remove all of the nails before inspection, maintenance, relocating, or after operation is over. Perform cleaning and maintenance right after finishing the job. Keep the tool in tip-top condition. Lubricate moving parts t o prevent rusting and minimize friction related wear. Wipe off all dust from the parts. Ask Makita's Factory or Authorized service center for periodical inspection of the tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
TOOL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND USE Lubrication To insure maximum performance, install the air set (oiler, regulator, air filter) as close as possible t o the tool. Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every 30 nails. When the air set oiler is not used, oil with a few drops of turbine oil through the air plug both before and after nailing operations. Simply oil before use, but when oiling after use, operate the tool several times to assure good lubrication.
While pulling the pusher, press the lock lever to unlock the pusher. Then return the pusher while pressing the lock lever. Lock lever I I Selecting compressor w The air compressor shall comply with the requirements ._2 200 E of ANSI 519.3 - 1981. 150 Select a compressor that has ample high pressure and 3 air output in order to assure cost-efficient operation. a 100 The tool should not be connected to a source whose ._ pressure potentially exceeds 14.0kgf/cm2 G (200 PSIG).
Operation 1)To drive a nail, you may place the contact arm against the workpiece and pull the trigger, or 2) Pull the trigger first and then place the contact arm against the workpiece. I Trigger ._ I No, 1 method is for intermittent nailing, when you wish to drive a nail carefully and very accurately. No. 2 method is for continuous nailing. When the nailer becomes jammed, do as follows: First, disconnect the air hose. Remove the strip of nails.
Nails Handle nail strips and their box carefully. If the nail strips have been handled roughly, they may be out of shape or their connector breaks, causing poor nail feed. Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place exposed to direct sunlight.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION: Always be sure that the air hose is disconnected from the tool before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance Maintenance of nailer Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose screws before operation. Tighten as required. Make sure all safety systems are in working order before operation. The tool must not operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only the contact arm is pressed against the wood. I t must work only when both actions are performed.
Maintenance of compressor, air set and air hose After operation, always drain the compressor tank and the air filter. If the tool is used without the water thus drained, poor performance and a possible breakdown can result. I Drain cock Air filter \ Check regularly t o see if there is sufficient turbine oil in the oiler of the air set. Failure to have sufficient lube will cause fast O-ring wear, when the tool is used.
