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.
20.
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.
21.
Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the
vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the
ejection port area.
•
Never carry the tool with your finger on the trigger
or hand it to someone in this condition. Accidental
firing can be extremely dangerous.
22.
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.
23.
Stop nailing operations immediately if you
notice something wrong or out of the ordinary
with the tool.
•
Always remove the fuel cell, the battery cartridge
and all of the nails:
−
When
unattended.
−
Before performing any maintenance or repair.
−
Before cleaning a jam.
−
Before moving the tool to a new location.
24.
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.
25.
Do not modify tool without authorization from
Makita.
26.
Do not attempt to keep the trigger or contact
element depressed with tape or wire. Death or
serious injury may occur.
27.
Always check contact element as instructed in
this manual. Nails may be driven accidentally if
the safety mechanism is not working correctly.
28.
Ask Makita's Authorized service centers for
periodical inspection of the tool.
29.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
maintenance and repairs should be performed
by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement
parts.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1.

battery cartridge when you notice less tool
power.
2.
