13.
Never use the tool with other than compressed air.
If bottled gas (carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen,
hydrogen, air, etc.) or combustible gas (hydrogen,
propane, acetylene, etc.) is used as a power
source for this tool, the tool will explode and
cause serious injury.
14.
Always check the tool for its overall condition and
loose screws before operation. Tighten as required.
15. Make sure all safety systems are in working
order before operation. The tool must not
operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only
the contact element is pressed against the
wood. It must work only when both actions
are performed. Test for possible faulty
operation with nails unloaded and the contact
element in fully pulled position.
16. Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the
like carefully to avoid possible electrical
shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused
by striking live wires, conduits or gas pipes.
17.
Use only nails specified in this manual. The use of
any other nails may cause malfunction of the tool.
18.
Do not permit those uninstructed to use the tool.
19.
Make sure no one is nearby before nailing. Never
attempt to nail from both the inside and outside at
the same time. Nails may rip through and/or fly off,
presenting a grave danger.
20. Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
when working in high locations, and secure
the air hose to prevent danger if there is
sudden jerking or catching.
21.
On rooftops and other high locations, nail as you
move forward. It is easy to lose your footing if
you nail while inching backward. When nailing
against perpendicular surface, nail from the top
to the bottom. You can perform nailing operations
with less fatigue by doing so.
22.
A nail will be bent or the tool can become jammed
if you mistakenly nail on top of another nail or
strike a knot in the wood. The nail may be thrown
and hit someone, or the tool itself can react
dangerously. Place the nails with care.
23. Do not leave the loaded tool or the air
compressor under pressure for a long time
out in the sun. Be sure that dust, sand, chips
and foreign matter will not enter the tool in the
place where you leave it setting.
24. Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the
vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the
ejection port area.
25. When the air hose is connected, do not carry
the tool with your finger on the trigger or hand
it to someone in this condition. Accidental
firing can be extremely dangerous.
26. Handle the tool carefully, as there is high
pressure inside the tool that can be
dangerous if a crack is caused by rough
handling (dropping or striking). Do not
attempt to carve or engrave on the tool.
27. Stop nailing operations immediately if you
notice something wrong or out of the ordinary
with the tool.
28. Always disconnect the air hose and remove
all of the nails:
(1) When unattended.
(2) Before performing any maintenance or
repair.
(3) Before cleaning a jam.
(4) Before moving the tool to a new location.
29. Perform cleaning and maintenance right after
finishing the job. Keep the tool in tip-top
condition. Lubricate moving parts to prevent
rusting and minimize friction-related wear.
Wipe off all dust from the parts.
30. Do not modify tool without authorization from
Makita.
31. Do not attempt to keep the trigger or contact
element depressed with tape or wire. Death or
serious injury may occur.
32. Always check contact element as instructed
in this manual. Nails may be driven
accidentally if the safety mechanism is not
working correctly.
33. Ask Makita's Authorized service centers for
periodical inspection of the tool.
34. To maintain product SAFETY and
RELIABILITY, maintenance and repairs should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory
Service Centers, always using Makita
replacement parts.
