2.
Exposure to vibration can cause disabling
damage to the nerves and blood supply of the
hands and arms.
3.
Wear warm clothing when working in cold
conditions, keep your hands warm and dry.
4.
If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or
whitening of the skin in your fingers or hands,
seek medical advice from a qualified occupa-
tional health professional regarding overall
activities.
5.
Operate and maintain the tool as recom-
mended in these instructions, to prevent an
unnecessary increase in vibration levels.
6.
Hold the tool with a light, but safe, grip
because the risk from vibration is generally
greater when the grip force is higher.
Additional warnings for pneumatic tools
1.
Compressed air can cause severe injury.
2.
Always shut off air supply, and disconnect tool
from air supply when not in use.
3.
Always disconnect the tool from the com-
pressed air supply before changing acces-
sories, making adjustments and/or repairs,
when moving away from an operating area to a
different area.
4.
Keep fingers away from trigger when not
operating the tool and when moving from one
operating position to another.
5.
Never direct compressed air at yourself or
anyone else.
6.
Whipping hoses can cause severe injury.
Always check for damaged or loose hoses or
fittings.
7.
Never carry a pneumatic tool by its hose.
8.
Never drag a pneumatic tool by its hose.
9.
When using pneumatic tools, do not exceed
the maximum operating pressure ps max.
10.
Pneumatic tools should only be powered
by compressed air at the lowest pressure
required for the work process to reduce noise
and vibration, and minimize wear.
11.
Using oxygen or combustible gases for oper-
ating pneumatic tools creates a fire and explo-
sion hazard.
12.
Be careful when using pneumatic tools as the
tool could become cold, affecting grip and
control.
Safety devices
1.
Make sure all safety systems are in working
order before operation.
The tool must not oper-
ate if only the trigger is pulled or if only the contact
arm is pressed against the wood. It must work only
when both actions are performed. Test for possible
faulty operation with fasteners unloaded and the
pusher in fully pulled position.
2.
Securing the trigger in the ON position is very
dangerous.
Never attempt to fasten the trigger.
3.
Do not attempt to keep the contact element or
other safety devices depressed with tape or
wire.
Death or serious injury may occur.
Service
1.
Perform cleaning and maintenance right after
finishing the job.
Keep the tool in tip-top condi-
tion. Lubricate moving parts to prevent rusting and
minimize friction-related wear. Wipe off all dust
from the parts.
2.
Ask Makita authorized service center for peri-
odical inspection of the tool.
3.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
maintenance and repairs should be performed
by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
4.
Follow local regulations when disposing of the
tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.

The air compressor must comply with the requirements
of EN60335-2-34.
Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air
output to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph
shows the relation between nailing frequency, applica-
ble pressure and compressor air output.
