Adjusting The Nailing Depth - Makita DBN500 Instruction Manual

Nailing mode selection
Fig.6
The tool has two different nailing modes. Select the
desired nailing by the mode selecting button. For more
detail, see the section "OPERATION".
Intermittent nailing (sequential mode)
This mode suits for driving a nail carefully and
accurately.
Continuous/ intermittent nailing (continuous mode)
When the tool is set to this mode, you can choose either
continuous or intermittent nailing by sequences of the
trigger operation.

Adjusting the nailing depth

WARNING:
Always make sure that your fingers are not placed
•
on the trigger, and the battery cartridge and nails
are removed.
Fig.7
To get shallower depth, turn the adjuster to A direction
as shown in the figure. To get deeper depth, turn the
adjuster to B direction.
Do not turn the adjuster too much, or the adjuster may
get stuck.
Lighting up the lamp
CAUTION:
Do not look in the light or see the source of light
•
directly.
Fig.8
To turn on the lamp, pull the trigger or place the contact
element against the workpiece. Release the trigger or
contact element to turn it off.
The lamp goes out 10 seconds after releasing the
trigger or contact element from the workpiece.
NOTE:
Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp.
•
Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it
may lower the illumination.
Even in the lamp lights up when the battery power
•
residual gets small, the nailer may not fire nails. In
this case, charge the battery cartridge.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your fingers are not placed
•
on the trigger, and the battery cartridge and nails
are removed before carrying out any work on the
nailer.
Loading or unloading the nails
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your fingers are not placed
•
on the trigger and the battery cartridge is removed
before loading nails.
Do not abruptly slide the slide door of the nailer
•
loaded with nails. Accidentally dropping nails
especially when working in high places may cause
personal injuries.
Load nails in the correct direction. Loading in
•
wrong direction may cause premature wear and
tear of the driver and damage of the other parts.
Do not use deformed connected nails. Use nails
•
specified in this manual. Using nails other than
those specified may cause nail jamming and
breakage of the nailer.

Set the nail strip so that the nail tips touch the bottom of the
magazine slit and slide the nail strip toward the firing opening.
Return the slide door to the original position until the
lock lever locks it.
To remove the nails, press the lock lever and slide the
slide door. Take out nails from the magazine slit.
Nose adapter
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your fingers are not placed
•
on the trigger, and the battery cartridge and nails
are removed before installing the nose adapter.
Fig.11
When firing nails on the material to be fastened with
easily-marred surfaces, use the nose adapter. To install
the nose adapter, place it over the center plate so that
the protrusion inside the nose adapter fits to the slit in
the driver guide cover.
When not in use, store the nose adapter in the holder at
the back end of the slide door to keep it from being lost.
Total two nose adapters can be stored.
Hook
CAUTION:
Always make sure that your fingers are not placed
•
on the trigger, and the battery cartridge and nails
are removed before using the hook.
Do not hang the hook from the waist belt.
•
Dropping the nailer, which is caused by the hook
accidentally coming out of place, may cause
misfiring and personal injuries.

The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
