[. . . ] (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. [. . . ] 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. Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to assure continuous, efficient nailing operation. CAUTION: Low air output of the compressor, or a long or smaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailing frequency may cause a decrease in the driving capability of the tool. The graph shows the relation between nailing frequency, applicable pressure and compressor air output. Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of approximately 50 times per minute at a compression of 250 PSIG (1. 76 MPa) , a compressor with an air output over 90 liters/minute is required. Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure exceeds the tool's rated pressure. Failure to do so may result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the vicinity. Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every 30 nails. When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air fitting. For proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of times after pneumatic tool oil is introduced. The depth of nailing is the deepest when the adjuster is turned fully in the A direction shown in the figure. It will become shallower as the adjuster is turned in the B direction. If nails cannot be driven deep enough even when the adjuster is turned fully in the A direction, increase the air pressure. If nails are driven too deep even when the adjuster is turned fully in the B direction, decrease the air pressure. Generally speaking, the tool service life will be longer when the tool is used with lower air pressure and the adjuster set to a lower depth of nail driving. Reset the tool on the exposed shingle with the projections of the contact element depressing the bottom of the previous row of the shingle. Slide the adjusting plate up against the bottom of the exposed shingle and turn the lever counterclockwise to lock the adjusting plate. CAUTION: Always disconnect the air hose before carrying out any work on the tool. Lift and turn the coil support plate so that the arrow with nail size indicated on the coil support plate will point to the corresponding graduation increment marked on the 5 If the tool is operated with the coil support plate set to the wrong step, poor nail feed or malfunction of the tool may result. To drive a nail, you may place the contact element against the workpiece and pull the trigger, or Uncoil enough nails to reach the feed claw. [. . . ] To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts. CAUTION: These accessories or attachments are recommended for use with your Makita tool specified in this manual. The use of any other accessories or attachments might present a risk of injury to persons. If you need any assistance for more details regarding these accessories, ask your local Makita Service Center. [. . . ]
