OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Make sure all safety systems are in working order
before operation.
For continuous nailing mode
Rotate the lever to the
ton on the other side of the lever. (Fig. 10 & 11)
1. To drive a nail, you may place the contact element
against the workpiece and pull the trigger.
2. Pull the trigger first and then place the contact ele-
ment against the workpiece.
• 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.
CAUTION:
• Operating the tool without nails shortens the life of the
tool and should be avoided.
For sequential mode (intermittent nailing mode)
(Fig. 12)
Rotate the lever to the
ton on the other side of the lever.
To drive a nail, you may place the contact element
against the workpiece and pull the trigger.
CAUTION:
• WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN A HALF-PULLED
POSITION, an unexpected nailing could occur, if con-
tact element is allowed to re-contact against the work-
piece or the other sueface under the influence of recoil.
In order to avoid this unexpected nailing, perform as
follows;
A. Do not place the contact element against the work-
piece with excessive force.
B. Pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1 – 2 seconds
after nailing.
• Operating the tool without nails shortens the life of the
tool and should be avoided.
Jammed nailer (Fig. 13)
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose and remove the nails
from the magazine before cleaning a jam.
When the nailer becomes jammed, do as follows:
Open the magazine cap and remove the nail coil. Insert a
small rod or the like into the ejection port and tap it with a
hammer to drive out the nail jamming from the ejection
port. Reset the nail coil and close the magazine cap.
Nails
Handle nail coils and their box carefully. If the nail coils
have been handled roughly, they may be out of shape or
their connector breaks, causing poor nail feed. (Fig. 14)
Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place
exposed to direct sunlight. (Fig. 15)

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose from the tool before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Maintenance of nailer
Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose
screws before operation. Tighten as required. (Fig. 16)
With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure
free movement of the contact element and trigger. Do not
use tool if the contact element or trigger sticks or binds.
(Fig. 17)
When the tool is not to be used for an extended period of
time, lubricate the tool using pneumatic tool oil and store
the tool in a safe place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight
and/or humid or hot environment. (Fig. 18 & 19)
Maintenance of compressor, air set and air hose
After operation, always drain the compressor tank and
the air filter. If moisture is allowed to enter the tool, it may
result in poor performance and possible tool failure.
(Fig. 20 & 21)
Check regularly to see if there is sufficient pneumatic oil
in the oiler of the air set. Failure to maintain sufficient
lubrication will cause O-rings to wear quickly. (Fig. 22)
Keep the air hose away from heat (over 60°C, over
140°F), away from chemicals (thinner, strong acids or
alkalis). Also, route the hose away from obstacles which
it may become dangerously caught on during operation.
Hoses must also be directed away from sharp edges and
areas which may lead to damage or abrasion to the
hose. (Fig. 23)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
