Nose adapter (Fig. 9 & 10)
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the hose before installing the nose
adapter.
To prevent the surface of workpiece from being scratched
or damaged, use the nose adapter by fitting the protrusion
of the inside of nose adapter with the notch in the contact
arm.
Store the nose adapter in place when not in use. The
place for storage is on both sides of the tool and inside the
carrying case.
Connecting air hose (Fig. 11)
Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on the
nailer. Be sure that the air socket locks firmly into position
when installed onto the air fitting. A hose coupling must be
installed on or near the tool in such a way that the
pressure reservoir will discharge at the time the air supply
coupling is disconnected.
OPERATION
To drive a nail, you may place the contact element against
the workpiece and pull the trigger. (Fig. 12)
CAUTION:
• 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.
Direction of exhaust air (Fig. 13)
The direction of exhaust air can be changed 360 degrees
of angle by turning the exhaust cover with a hand.
Removing nails
CAUTION:
• Do not use deformed nails or nail strip. Failure to do so
causes poor nail feeding.
WARNING:
• Always disconnect the hose before removing nails.
Open the slide door and remove nails from the magazine.
(Fig. 14)
With the slide door kept open, open the door and take out
nails.
Removing the contact top allows nails to be easily taken
out. When re-installing the contact top, insert the
prorusion of the contact top into the notch in the contact
arm. (Fig. 15 & 16)
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. 17)
Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place
exposed to direct sunlight. (Fig. 18)
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the hose 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. (Fig. 19)
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. 20)
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. 21 & 22)
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. 23 & 24)
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. 25)
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. 26)
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.
