3. Depress the lock pin lightly and pull the pusher to
unhook it.
With the lock pin depressed, return the pusher
slowly and gently to the original position. Keep
depressing the lock pin until it passes through.
(Fig. 11)
Connecting air hose (Fig. 12)
Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on the
stapler. Be sure that the air socket locks firmly into posi-
tion 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
CAUTION:
• Make sure all safety systems are in working order
before operation.
1. Pull the trigger first and then place the contact ele-
ment against the workpiece. (Fig. 13 & 14)
2. To drive a staple, you may place the contact element
against the workpiece and pull the trigger,
or
No. 1 method is for continuous stapling.
No. 2 method is for intermittent stapling, when you
wish to drive a staple carefully and very accurately.
CAUTION:
• However when the tool is set to the “Intermittent Sta-
plling” mode, WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN A HALF-
PULLED POSITION, an unexpected stapling 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 stapling, 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 stapling.
For No. 2 method, the OPTIONAL SEQUENTIAL TRIP
TRIGGER (SINGLE SHOT PART) is used. Replace the
trigger part with this.
Direction of exhaust air (Fig. 15)
The direction of exhaust air can be changed 360 degrees
of angle by turning the exhaust cover with a hand.
Removing jammed staples
WARNING:
• Always disconnect the hose before removing staples.
Remove the staples from the magazine.
Lift up the latch on the top of driver guide by hand.
(Fig. 16)
If the latch cannot be lift up by hand, insert a slotted bit
screwdriver in the gap between the latch and the door
and force it up. (Fig. 17)
Open the door and take out staples. (Fig. 18)
Place the latch spring on two hooks of the driver guide
and return it to its original position by pressing it.
(Fig. 19)
CAUTION:
• If the tip of staple driver has worn, staple jamming and
shallow driving will tend to occur. When this occurs,
have it repaired by Makita Authorized or Factory Ser-
vice Centers.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose from the tool before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Maintenance of stapler
Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose
screws before operation. Tighten as required. (Fig. 20)
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. 21)
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. 22 & 23)
Maintenance of compressor, air set and air hose
(Fig. 24 & 25)
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. 26)
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. 27)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers,
always using Makita replacement parts.
