Parts Description; Installation - Makita AF353 Instruction Manual

3. Always disconnect the tool from the compressed
air supply before changing accessories, making
adjustments and/or repairs, when moving away
from an operating area to a different area.
4. Keep fingers away from trigger when not
operating the tool and when moving from one
operating position to another.
5. Never direct compressed air at yourself or
anyone else.
6. Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always
check for damaged or loose hoses or fittings.
Never carry a pneumatic tool by its hose.
7.
8. Never drag a pneumatic tool by its hose.
9. When using pneumatic tools, do not exceed
the maximum operating pressure ps max.
10. Pneumatic tools should only be powered
by compressed air at the lowest pressure
required for the work process to reduce noise
and vibration, and minimize wear.
Using oxygen or combustible gases for oper-
11.
ating pneumatic tools creates a fire and explo-
sion hazard.
12. Be careful when using pneumatic tools as the tool
could become cold, affecting grip and control.
Recoil and Disposal
The continuous use of the tool may cause repeti-
1.
tive stain injury due to recoil produced by the tool.
2. Follow local regulations when disposing of the
tool.
Safety devices
1. Make sure all safety systems are in working
order before operation. The tool must not oper-
ate 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 fasteners unloaded and the
pusher in fully pulled position.
2. Securing the trigger in the ON position is very
dangerous. Never attempt to fasten the trigger.
3. Do not attempt to keep the contact element
depressed with tape or wire. Death or serious
injury may occur.
4. Always check contact element as instructed in
this manual. Fasteners may be driven accidentally
if the safety mechanism is not working correctly.
Loading fasteners
1. Use only fasteners specified in this manual.
The use of any other fasteners may cause mal-
function of the tool.
Service
1. Perform cleaning and maintenance right after
finishing 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with
product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adher-
ence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or
failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruc-
tion manual may cause serious personal injury.

1. Nailing frequency (times/min) 2. Compressor air
output per minute (L/min) 3. 0.69 MPa (6.9 bar) 4. 0.57
MPa (5.7 bar) 5. 0.45 MPa (4.5 bar)
The air compressor must comply with the requirements
of EN60335-2-34.
Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air
output to assure cost-efficient 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 0.57 MPa (5.7 bar), a
compressor with an air output over 25 liters/minute is required.
