Maintenance - Makita AN453 Betriebsanleitung

CAUTION:
• Operating the tool without nails shortens the life of the
tool and should be avoided.
For sequential trip trigger (accessory)
To drive a nail, you may place the contact element against
the workpiece and pull the trigger. (Fig. 15)
CAUTION:
• WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN A HALF-PULLED
POSITION, an unexpected nailing 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 nailing,
perform as follows;
A. Do not place the contact element against the
workpiece with excessive force.
B. Pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1-2 seconds after
nailing.
Jammed nailer (Fig. 16)
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose and remove the nails
from the magazine before cleaning a jam.
When the nailer becomes jammed, do as follows:
Open the magazine cap and remove the nail coil. Insert a
small rod or the like into the ejection port and tap it with a
hammer to drive out the nail jamming from the ejection
port. Reset the nail coil and close the magazine cap.
Nails (Fig. 17)
Handle nail coils and their box carefully. If the nail coils
have been handled roughly, they may be out of shape or
their connector breaks, causing poor nail feed.
Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place
exposed to direct sunlight. (Fig. 18)

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose from the tool before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Cleaning and removal of tat and dirt
Adhesion of tar and dirt to areas around the contact
element will prevent smooth movement of the contact
element (safety mechanism), causing accidental
discharge. Periodically clean the areas around the contact
element.
Use a solvent such as kerosene, #2 fuel oil or diesel fuel.
Immerse only the contact element and the areas around
the ejection port in solvent and remove tar and dirt with
brush. Always wear waterproof gloves to protect your
hands. Never immerse the housing, magazine, etc. in
solvent. Malfunction of the tool may result. Always
dispose of the solvent used in a safe and prudent manner
and in compliance with all local and national code
requirement. (Fig. 19)
Dry off the tool before use. Any oil film left after cleanup
will accelerate the tar buildup, and the tool will require
more frequent recleaning. After drying off the tool, oil the
moving parts to prevent rusting and to assure good
lubrication and operation or moving parts.
WARNING:
• Never use gasoline or other similar highly volatile
liquids for cleaning. Vapors of such liquids may enter
the tool and could be ignited by sparks produced during
nailing and cause an explosion.
Maintenance of nailer
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
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
