User manual MAKITA GN900

[. . . ] Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. [. . . ] (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 4 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. The area should be sufficiently illuminated to assure safe operations. There may be local regulations concerning noise which must be complied with by keeping noise levels within prescribed limits. Do not play with the contact element: it prevents accidental discharge, so it must be kept on and not removed. Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool operating controls is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly. Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose screws before operation. The tool must not operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only the contact element is pressed against the wood. Test for possible faulty operation with nails unloaded and the pusher in fully pulled position. Never attempt to nail from both the inside and outside at the same time. Make sure there is no one below when working in high locations, and secure the air hose to prevent danger if there is sudden jerking or catching. When nailing against perpendicular surface, nail from the top to the bottom. 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. Never carry the tool with your finger on the trigger or hand it to someone in this condition. 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). 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: (9) When unattended. Do not attempt to keep the trigger or contact element depressed with tape or wire. 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.
