4.
Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the
vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the
ejection port area.
5.
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
6.
Never point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
7.
Do not rush the job or force the tool. Handle
the tool carefully.
8.
Do not activate the tool unless the tool is
placed firmly against the workpiece.
9.
Never hold or carry the tool with a finger on the
trigger or hand it to someone in this condition.
Accidental firing can cause serious injury.
10. Never use fastener driving tools marked with
the symbol "Do not use on scaffoldings, lad-
ders" for specific application for example:
—
when changing one driving location to
another involves the use of scaffoldings,
stairs, ladders, or ladder alike constructions,
e.g. roof laths;
—
closing boxes or crates;
—
fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on
vehicles and wagons.
11.
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.
12. Do not use the tool for fastening electrical
cables. It is not designed for electric cable installa-
tion and may damage the insulation of electric cables
thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.
13. 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.
14. On rooftops and other high locations, drive
fasteners as you move forward. It is easy to lose
your footing if you drive fasteners while inching
backward. When driving fasteners against perpen-
dicular surface, work from the top to the bottom.
You can perform driving operations with less
fatigue by doing so.
15. A fastener will be bent or the tool can become
jammed if you mistakenly drive fastener on
top of another fastener or strike a knot in the
wood. The fastener may be thrown and hit
someone, or the tool itself can react danger-
ously. Place the fasteners with care.
16. Do not leave the loaded tool or the air com-
pressor 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.
17. Never attempt to drive fasteners from both the
inside and outside at the same time. Fasteners
may rip through and/or fly off, presenting a grave
danger.
Service
1.
Perform cleaning and maintenance right after
finishing the job. Keep the tool in tip-top condi-
tion. Lubricate moving parts to prevent rusting and
minimize friction-related wear. Wipe off all dust
from the parts.
2.
Ask Makita authorized service center for peri-
odical inspection of the tool.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
3.
maintenance and repairs should be performed
by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.

WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity

The air compressor must comply with the requirements
of EN60335-2-34.
Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air
output to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph
shows the relation between nailing frequency, applica-
ble pressure and compressor air output.
Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of
approximately 50 times per minute at a compression of
1.76 MPa (17.6 bar), a compressor with an air output
over 100 liters/minute is required.
Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to the
rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure exceeds
the tool's rated pressure. Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous injury to tool operator or persons in the vicinity.
