Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged.

Always stop machine operation and charge the

battery cartridge when you notice less machine

power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-

ture at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F).

Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before

charging it.

Safety system (Fig. 3)

Make sure all safety systems are in working order

before operation. The machine must not operate if

only the trigger is pulled or if only the safety lever is

pressed against the wood. It must work only when

both actions are performed. Test for possible faulty

operation with a machine unloaded and pointed well

away from yourself or any bystanders.

NOTE:

There is a possibility that the machine may operate for

an instant when only the trigger is pulled. This does

not indicate a problem. If this occurs, point the

machine well away from yourself or any bystanders.

Release and pull the trigger again to make sure the

safety systems are in working order.

Loading staples (Fig. 4,5&6)

Important:

Always remove the battery cartridge before loading

the staples into the machine.

Press the plate spring on the rear of the sub-

magazine and slide the sub-magazine backward.

Load staples into the main magazine with staple ends

facing up as illustrated in Fig. 5. Slide the sub-

magazine forward.

To secure the sub-magazine in place, push the sub-

magazine while pressing the plate spring on the rear

of the sub-magazine.

CAUTION:

•

Always secure the sub-magazine in place, or the

staples can drop out and cause problems.

•

With the magazine loaded, if the machine is held

downward and the sub-magazine is opened, the

staples can fall out and present a danger to anyone

or anything below. Keep this in mind especially

when working in high locations.

Depth adjustment (Fig.7&8)

If the staples are driven too deep or too shallow,

adjust the driving depth by turning the nut on the

bottom of the machine. For deeper driving of staples,

turn the nut clockwise. For shallower driving, turn the

nut counterclockwise. Please note the nut must be

turned in increments of 180° (1/2 turn) so that the

groove on the nut runs parallel to the magazine.

NOTE:

If the distance between the machine end (A) and the

material to be fastened is more than 2 mm, the

machine will not operate because the safety lever is

not pressed enough to operate the machine.

Driving staples (Fig.9&10)

Place the machine on the material to be fastened so

that the front and the rear of the machine contact the

material flat. Do not tip the machine to the right or left

side. Hold the machine firmly against the material.

Then pull the trigger to drive the staples.

If the staples are driven too shallow, press the

machine head as shown in Fig. 10 and drive the

staples.

If the staples are still driven too shallow, adjust the

driving depth by turning the nut clockwise. Refer to

‘‘Depth adjustment’’.

CAUTION:

Do not operate the machine without staples. It short-

ens the service life of the machine.

If the machine becomes jammed, do as follows. First,

remove the battery cartridge. Open the sub-magazine

and remove the stuck staple using a screwdriver or

the like.

Sight window (Fig. 11)

There is a convenient sight window on the left side of

the machine (when viewing the machine from the

front). Use this sight window to check if there are

staples in the magazine. When staples are not visible

through the window, load staples into the magazine.

Staples

•

Handle the staples and their box carefully. If the

staples have been handled roughly, they may be

bent out of shape, causing poor staple feed or

jamming.

•

Avoid storing the staples in a very humid or hot

place or place exposed to direct sunlight.

•

Do not attempt to use staples that appear to be

damaged, bent, rusty or corroded.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the machine is switched off and

the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out

any work on the machine.

To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,

maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by a

Makita Authorized Service Center.
