User manual MAKITA AF600

[. . . ] (7) Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of the operating controls is activated. (8) Do not operate the tool with any power source other than that specified in the tool operating/safety instructions. Do not use the tool near volatile, flammable materials such as gasoline, thinner, paint, gas, adhesives, etc. The area should be sufficiently illuminated to assure safe operations. [. . . ] Nails may be driven accidentally if the safety mechanism is not working correctly. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, maintenance and repairs should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts. WARNING: MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury. This fastener driving tool is operated by actuating the trigger using finger pressure. Some fastener driving tools are fitted with an additional safety yoke which enables the driving operation to be carried out only after the muzzle of the tool is pressed against a workpiece. These tools are marked with an inverted triangle ( ) and may not be used unless fitted with an effective safety yoke. Depending on their purpose, fastener driving tools may be fitted with different actuating systems. see the respective technical data sheet for details of the actuating system of the tools. Single sequential actuation (preferred version): An actuating system in which the safety yoke and the trigger have to be activated in such a way that one single driving operation is actuated via the trigger after the muzzle of the tool has been applied to the driving location. Thereafter any further driving operations can only be actuated after the trigger has been returned to the starting position. Full sequential actuation: This is an actuating system in which the safety yoke and the trigger have to be activated in such a way that one single driving operation is actuated via the trigger after the muzzle of the tool has been applied to the driving location. Thereafter any further driving operations can only be actuated only after the trigger and the safety yoke have been returned to the starting position. Contact actuation (restricted version): An actuating system in which the trigger and the safety yoke have to be actuated for each driving operation, with the order of actuation not being specified. For subsequent driving operations it is sufficient if either the trigger remains activated and the safety yoke is activated thereafter, or vice versa. Fastener driving tools equipped with contact actuation must be marked with the symbol »Do not use on scaffoldings, ladders« and must not be used for specific applications for example: · When moving from one driving location to another involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, or ladder-like constructions, e. Length of fasteners 130 mm 130 mm 100 mm 65 mm * without fasteners 65 mm Actuation system Full sequential actuation Single sequential actuation with safety yoke Contact actuation Contact actuation Constant actuation with safety yoke Single sequential actuation with trigger lock: Some models have a safety system consisting of a small lever attached behind the trigger which blocks automatically every time the trigger is released, preventing unintentional triggering. If a fastener is to be driven, the safety lever must be pulled first, which enables the main trigger and makes it possible to press. Operators and others in work area must wear safety glasses with side shields. Keep fingers away from trigger when not driving fasteners to avoid accidental firing. The safety yoke has to return reliably to its initial position in any tool position The safety yoke has to return reliably to its initial position in any tool position 125% of the tool weight* as safety yoke return force 60% of the tool weight* as safety yoke return force 60% of the tool weight* as safety yoke return force Proper functioning of the fastener driving tool requires filtered, dry and oiled compressed air in adequate quantities. If the air pressure in the line system exceeds the maximum permissible operating pressure of the fastener driving tool, a pressure reducing valve followed by a downstream safety valve shall additionally be fitted in the supply line to the tool. note: When compressed air is generated by compressors , the natural moisture in the air condenses and collects as condensed water in pressure vessels and pipelines. [. . . ] Ensure that the pressure supplied by the compressed air system does not exceed the maximum permissible operating pressure of the fastener driving tool. Set the air pressure initially to the lower value of the recommended operating pressure (see technical data). Empty the magazine to prevent a fastener from being ejected at the next stage of work in the event that internal parts of the fastener driving tool are not in the starting position following maintenance and repair work or transportation. Connect the fastener driving tool to the compressed air supply using suitable pressure hose equipped with quickaction connectors. [. . . ]
