a way that the pressure reservoir will discharge at the time

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Make sure all safety systems are in working order

before operation.

1. To drive a nail, you may place the contact element

against the workpiece and pull the trigger, or

(Fig. 15 & 16)

2. Pull the trigger first and then place the contact element

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:

• However when the tool is set to the “Intermittent

Nailing” mode, WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN A

HALF-PULLED POSITION, an unexpected nailing

could occur, if contact element is allowed to re-contact

against the workpiece or the other surface under the

influence of recoil.

In order to avoid this unexpected nailing, perform as

follows;

A. Do not place the contact element against the workpiece

with excessive force.

B. Pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1-2 seconds after

nailing.

• For No. 1 method, set the change lever to the

position.

For No. 2 method, set the change lever to the

position. After using the change lever to change the

nailing method, always make sure that the change

lever is properly set to the position for the desired

nailing method. (Fig. 17)

Anti dry fire mechanism

This tool is equipped with an anti dry fire mechanism.

When there are a few nails remaining in the magazine,

the contact arm will be locked in the undepressed position

to prevent the tool from being activated. Load more nails

to resume operation.

Jammed nailer (Fig. 18)

CAUTION:

• Always lock the trigger, disconnect the hose and

remove the nails from the magazine before clearing a

jam.

When the nailer becomes jammed, do as follows:

Insert a small rod or the like into the ejection port and tap

it with a hammer to retract the driver.

Use pliers to bend the jammed nail so that the nail head

comes out of the slot in the driver guide. Then remove the

jammed nail. (Fig. 19)

Nails (Fig. 20)

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.

Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place

exposed to direct sunlight. (Fig. 21)

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 the nailer

Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose

screws before operation. Tighten as required. (Fig. 22)

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. 23)

Make sure that the trigger is locked when the change

lever is set to the position. (Fig. 24)

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 a direct sunlight

and/or humid or hot environment. (Fig. 25 & 26)

Maintenance of the compressor, air set

and air hose (Fig. 27 & 28)

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.

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. 29)

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. 30)

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

any other maintenance and adjustment should be

performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always

using Makita replacement parts.
