-
Operate the tool with specified air pressure of 0.44~0.83Mpa (65-120PSIG) for safety and longer tool life. Do not exceed the recommended max. operating pressure of 0.83Mpa (120PSIG). The tool should not be connected to a source whose pressure potentially exceeds 1.38Mpa (200PSIG)
-
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 will explode and cause serious injury.
-
Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose screws before operation. Tighten as required.
-
Make sure the safety mechanism is in working order before operation. First, remove nails from the magazine. Then connect the hose to the tool (Make sure not use the tool toward self or anyone else) and pull the trigger. The tool must not be fired. Depress the safety yoke to the work-piece. Then pulled the trigger and the tool can be fired.
-
Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the like carefully to avoid possible electrical shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by striking lives wires, conduits or gas pipes.
-
Use only nails specified in this manual. The use of any other nails may cause malfunction of the tool
-
Do not permit those uninstructed to use the tool.
-
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 dangerous.
-
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.
-
On rooftops and other high locations, nail as you move forward. It is easy to lose your footing if you nail while including backward. When nailing against perpendicular surface, nail from the top to the bottom. You can perform nailing operations with less fatigue by doing so.
-
A nail will be bend 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
TOOL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND USE
Selecting compressor
Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air output to assure cost-
efficient operation. The graph shows the relation between nailing frequency,
applicable pressure and compressor air output. Thus for example, if nailing
takes place at a rate of approximately 40 times per minute at a compression of
0.47Mpa (70PSIG), a compressor with an air output over 30 liters/minute and
conform with the requirements of ANSI B 19.3-1981 is required. Pressure of the
tool where air supply pressure exceeds the tool’s rated pressure. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the
vicinity.
Selecting air hose
Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to assure continuous,
efficient nailing operation. With an air pressure of 0.47Mpa (70PSIG), an air
hose with an internal diameter of over 6.5mm (1/4″) and a length of less than
20 m (6.6ft.) is recommended when the interval between each nailing is 0.5
seconds. Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pressure rating of
1.038Mpa(150 PSIG) or 150percent of the maximum pressure produced in the
system whichever is higher.
CAUTION:
Low air output of the compressor, or a long or smaller diameter air hose in
relation to the nailing frequency may cause a decrease in the driving
capability of the tool
Lubrication
-
To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler, regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool. Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every 40 nails.
-
When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic tool oil by placing 2 or 3 drops into the air fitting. This should be done before and after use. For proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of times after pneumatic tool oil is introduced.
Nose adapter
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the hose before installing or removing the nose adapter.
-
To prevent the work-piece from being damaged or scratched, attach the nose adapter to the contact arm so that the protrusion of the nose adapter will fit into the hole in the contact arm.
-
Load the nail into the magazine from the tail. And before loading, make sure that using the nail denoted on instruction. Move the nail to the pusher as far as they will go. Push the lever inside the pusher and drag the pusher over the nail. Then release the lever so that the pusher can push the nail to ejection slot.
Caution:
Always load the same type and same size of nail into the magazine. If you load
the tool with different types and/or sizes at the same time, a malfunction may
result.
Connecting air hose
Caution:
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone in the vicinity when
connecting the hose.
Slip the air socked of the air hose onto the air fitting on the tool. Be sure
that the air socket locks firmly into position when installed on to 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:
For intermittent nailing, use the special trigger-set included in the tool.
For replacement of trigger-set, remove Step Pin (Item No.38 ) and E-Ring (
Item No.27 ). Pull out Trigger-Set ( Item No.98 ) and fix the special trigger-
set with Step Pin and E-Ring.
- Depress the contact arm against the work-piece.
- Pull the trigger to drive a nail. To drive another nail, release the trigger and lift the tool from the work-piece. Then repeat the procedure.
Use this method when you wish to drive a nail carefully and very accurately. And further more, you can use the depth adjuster to adjust the driving depth of nail. Turn the adjuster clockwise can drive nail deeper. Turn the adjuster counter- clockwise can drive nail flat.
CAUTION:
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone in the vicinity when adjust
the adjuster.
Continuous nailing
- Pull the trigger.
- Depress the contact arm against the work-piece to drive a nail.
- Keep the trigger pulled and depress the contact arm against the next points of the work-piece to drive another nail.
Caution:
When using this method, be careful do not operate the tool without nails.
Operating the tool without nails should shorten the life of the tool
Air exhaust
Air exhaust direction can be change easily by rotating the exhaust cover. Change it when necessary.
Jammed nail
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the hose and remove the other nails from the magazine before
cleaning a jam.
- When the tool becomes jammed, proceed as follows.
- Release the switches that lock the driver guide. Open the driver guide to remove the jammed nail from the ejectionslot.
- After clear the jammed nail, closed the driver guide and make sure the switches be locked tighten.
Nails:
-
Handle the nail strips and their box carefully. If the nail strips have been handled roughly, they maybe out of shape of their connector breaks, causing poor nail feed.
-
Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place exposed to direct sunlight.
MAINTENANCE
Caution:
Always be sure that the air hose is disconnected from the tool before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Maintenance of tool
-
Always check the tool for it’s overall condition and loose screws before operation. Tighten as required.
-
When the tool is not 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 a humid or hot environment.
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.
-
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.
-
Keep the air hose away from heat (over 60 ‘C, over 140 ‘F), away from chemicals(thinner, strong acids oralkalis). 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.
-
If using tool under 0 ‘C (32 ‘F) may cause “skipping” nails. And this problem can be solved by continue fire for 5 or 6 shoots. Before doing this procedure please make sure all nails been taken out to prevent injures.
-
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, maintenance and repairs should be performed by Makita authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
