8. Never drag a pneumatic tool by its hose.
9. When using pneumatic tools, do not exceed
the maximum operating pressure ps max.
10. Pneumatic tools should only be powered by
compressed air at the lowest pressure
required for the work process to reduce noise
and vibration, and minimize wear.
11. Using oxygen or combustible gases for
operating pneumatic tools creates a fire and
explosion hazard.
12. Be careful when using pneumatic tools as the
tool could become cold, affecting grip and
control.
Additional warnings for tools with contact actuation
capability
1. Do not rest your finger on the trigger when
picking up the tool, moving between operating
areas and positions or walking, as resting
finger on trigger can lead to inadvertent
operation. For tools with selective actuation,
always check the tool before use to ascertain
the correct mode is selected.
2. This tool has either selective actuation for
contact actuation or continuous contact
actuation by actuation mode selectors or is a
contact actuation or continuous actuation
contact tool and has been marked with the
symbol above. Its intended uses are for
production applications such as pallets,
furniture, manufactured housing, upholstery
and sheathing.
3. If using this tool in selective actuation mode,
always ensure it is in the correct actuation
setting.
4. Do not use this tool in contact actuation for
applications such as closing boxes or crates
and fitting transportation safety systems on
trailers and lorries.
5. Be careful when changing from one driving
location to another.
Safety devices
1. 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 arm is pressed against the wood. It must
work only when both actions are performed. Test
for possible faulty operation with fasteners
unloaded and the pusher in fully pulled position.
2. Securing the trigger in the ON position is very
dangerous. Never attempt to fasten the trigger.
3. Do not attempt to keep the contact element
depressed with tape or wire. Death or serious
injury may occur.
4. Always check contact element as instructed in
this manual. Fasteners may be driven
accidentally if the safety mechanism is not working
correctly.
Service
1. 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.
2. Ask Makita authorized service center for
periodical inspection of the tool.
3. To maintain product SAFETY and
RELIABILITY, maintenance and repairs should
be performed by Makita Authorized Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement
parts.
4. Follow local regulations when disposing of the
