User manual MAKITA AN611(1)

[. . . ] Do not operate the tool with any power source other than that specified in the tool operatinglsafety instructions. * A n improperly functioning tool must not be used. Sparks sometimes fly when the tool is used. Do not use the tool near volatile, flammable materials such as gasoline, thinner, paint, gas, adhesives, etc. ; they will ignite and explode, causing serious injury. The area should be sufficiently illuminated to assure safe operations. Be especially careful t o maintain good footing and balance. *Only those involved in the work should be in the vicinity. Children especially must be kept away at all times. There may be local regulations concerning noise which must be complied with by keeping noise levels within prescribed limits. [. . . ] Before moving the tool t o a new location. Perform cleaning and maintenance right after finishing the job. Lubricate moving parts to prevent rusting and minimize friction related wear. Wipe off all dust from the parts. When not operating the tool, always lock the trigger by turning the change lever to the LOCK position. Change lever . Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible WARNING LABEL. Do not modify tool without authorization from Makita. Ask Makita's Factory or Authorized service center for periodical inspection of the tool. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, maintenance and repairs should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 10 TOOL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND USE Selecting compressor The air compressor must comply with the requirements of ANSI B19. 3 - 1981. Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air output to assure cost-efficient operation. 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 40 times per minute at a compression of 5 kgf/cm*G (70 PSIG), a compressor with an air output over 2 ft3/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. Selecting air hose Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to assure continuous, efficient nailing operation. With an air pressure of 5 kgf/cm2G (70 PSIG), an air hose with an internal diameter of over 6. 5 mm (1/4") and a length of less than 20 m (6. 6 ft. ) is recommended when the interval between each nailing is 0. 5 seconds. Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pressure rating of 10. 7 kgf/cm*G (150 PSIG) or 150 percent of the maximum pressure produced in the system whichever is higher. Nailing frequency (timeslmin ) 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. Lubrication To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler, regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool. Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every 30 nails. I * 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. I Pneumatic tool oil Nose adapter CAUTION: Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before installing or removing the nose adapter. When nailing workpieces with easily-marred surfaces, use the nose adapter. It is factory installed at the rear of the tool. Nose piece storing portion Attach the nose adapter to the contact arm (see right). When not in use, store the nose adapter at the rear of the tool to keep it from being lost. Contact arm \ Nose adapter at - Loading nailer CAUTION: Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before loading the nailer. Depress the latch lever and open the door and magazine cap. I Lift and turn the coil support plate to set it to the correct step. When loading 57 or 65 mm (2-1/4", 2-1/2") long nails, use the bottom step. When loading 45 or 50 mm (1-3/4", 2") long nails, use the middle step. [. . . ] Should any trouble develop during this one- year period, return the COMPLETE tool, freight prepaid, to one of Makita's Factory or Authorized Service Centers. If inspection shows the trouble is caused by defective workmanship or material, Makita will repair (or at our option, replace) without charge. This Warranty does not apply where: a repairs have been made or attempted by others: a repairs are required because of normal wear and tear: a The tool has been abused, misused or improperly maintained ; 0 alterations have been made to the tool. IN NO EVENT SHALL MAKITA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FROM THE SALE OR USE OF THE PRODUCT. [. . . ]
