SAFETY WARNINGS
Important safety instructions
For personal safety and proper operation and maintenance of the tool, read this instruction manual
carefully before using the tool.
WARNING: WHEN USING THIS TOOL, BASIC
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Personal Protective Equipment
1.
Always wear safety glasses to avoid eye injury
from dust or fasteners. The safety glasses should
conform with the requirements of ANSI Z87.1.
WARNING:It is an employer's responsibility
to enforce the use of safety eye protection
equipment by the tool operators and by other
persons in the immediate working area.
2. Wear hearing protection to protect your ears
against exhaust noise and head protection.
Also wear light but not loose clothing. Sleeves
should be buttoned or rolled up. No necktie
should be worn.
Flammable Atmospheres
1. Do not operate tool in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or combustible dust.
Tool modication
1. The tool should not be modied unless autho-
rized in the tool manual or approved in writing
by the tool manufacturer.
Tool maintenance
1. Refer to the tool maintenance instructions for
detailed information on the proper maintenance of a tool.
Recommended fasteners and accessories
1. Use only fasteners made or recommended by
the tool manufacturer, or fasteners that perform equivalently to those recommended by
the manufacturer.
2. Use only accessories made or recommended
by the tool manufacturer, or accessories that
perform equivalently to those recommended
by the manufacturer.
Inspect tool before operating to:
1. Use only power source specied in the instruc-
tion manual.
Operate the tool within the specied air pressure on the tool label for safety and longer tool
life. Do not exceed the recommended max.
operating pressure. The tool should not be
connected to a source whose pressure potentially exceeds 3.39 MPa (480 PSIG).
2. 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, the tool
will explode and cause serious injury.
3. Always check the tool for its overall condition
and loose screws before operation. Tighten as
required.
4. 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 element is pressed against the
wood. It must work only when both actions are
performed. Test for possible faulty operation
with fasteners unloaded and the contact element in fully pulled position.
5. Always check contact element as instructed in
this manual. Fasteners may be driven accidentally if the safety mechanism is not working
correctly.
2 ENGLISH
Operating controls
1. Do not use a tool with missing or damaged
safety warning label(s.)
2. A tool that is not in proper working order must
not be used. Tags and physical segregation
shall be used for control.
3.
Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause
tool operating controls to become inoperable.
4. Do not operate tool if any portion of the tool
operating controls is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly.
Tool handling
1. Only persons who have read and understand
the tool operating/safety instructions should
operate the tool.
2. Always assume that tool contains fasteners.
3. Do not point tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
4. Keep bystanders and children away while
operating tool.
5. Do not actuate tool unless tool is placed rmly
against the workpiece.
6. Respect tool as a working implement.
7. Do not engage in horseplay.
8. Stay alert, focus on your work and use com-
mon sense when working with tools.
9. Do not use tool while tired, after having consumed drugs or alcohol, or while under the
inuence of medication.
10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
11.
Do not hold or carry tool with a nger on the trigger.
12. Drive fasteners into proper work surface only.
13. Do not drive fasteners into other fasteners.
14. After driving a fastener, tool may spring back
(“recoil”) causing it to move away from the
work surface. To reduce risk of injury always
manage recoil by:
a) always maintaining control of tool.
b) allowing recoil to move tool away from
work surface.
c)
not resisting recoil such that tool will
be forced back into the work surface. In
“Contact Actuation Mode,” if workpiece
contact is allowed to re-contact work surface before the trigger is released, an unintended discharge of a fastener will occur.
d) keeping face and body parts away from
15. When working close to an edge of a workpiece

other than that specied in tool operating/
safety instructions.
sure other than that specied in tool operating/
safety instructions.
20. Always select an actuation system that is
appropriate to the fastener application and the
training of the operator.
21. Use extra caution when driving fasteners into
existing walls or other blind areas to prevent
contact with hidden objects or persons on
other side (e.g., wires, pipes.)
22. Do not lift, pull or lower tool by the hose.
Disconnecting tool
Disconnect tool from the power source when:
1. Not in use;
2. Performing any maintenance or repairs;
3. Clearing a jam;
4. Elevating, lowering or otherwise moving the
tool to a new location;
5. Tool is outside of the operator’s supervision or
control; or
6. Removing fasteners from the magazine.
Additional safety instructions
1. The area should be sufciently illuminated to
assure safe operations. The area should be
clear and litter-free.
2. There may be local regulations concerning
noise which must be complied with by keeping
noise levels within prescribed limits. In certain
cases, shutters should be used to contain
noise.
3. Check walls, ceilings, oors, roong and
the like carefully to avoid possible electrical
shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by
striking live wires, conduits or gas pipes.
4. 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 against perpendicular surface, drive fasteners from the
top to the bottom. You can perform the operations with less fatigue by doing so.
5. Do not leave the loaded tool or the air compressor 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.
6. Perform cleaning and maintenance right after
nishing 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.
7. Do not disconnect the air hose with a nger
on the trigger. An unexpected driving will cause
serious injury when the air hose is connected.
8. When you drop or strike the tool, check the
tool damage or crack and make sure that
safety systems are in working order before
operation. As there is high pressure inside the
tool, failure to do so will cause serious injury.
9. Ask Makita's Authorized service centers for
periodical inspection of the tool.
10. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
maintenance and repairs should be performed
by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement
parts.
