ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR MACHINE
1. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shield, and a full face shield when
needed.
2. Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the
vicinity (especially his face). Keep hands and
feet away from the ejection port area.
3. Always remove the battery cartridge before
loading the staples, adjustment, inspection,
maintenance or after operation is over.
4. Make sure no one is nearby before operation.
Never attempt to drive staples from both the
inside and outside of wall at the same time.
Staples may rip through and/or fly off, present-
ing a grave danger.
5. Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the machine. Make sure there is no one
below when working in high locations.
6. Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the
like carefully to avoid possible electrical
shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused
by stapling into live wires, conduits or gas
pipes.
7. Use only staples specified in this manual. The
use of any other staples may cause malfunc-
tion of the machine.
8. Do not tamper with the machine or attempt to
use it for other than driving staples.
9. Do not operate the machine without staples. It
shortens the service life of the machine.
10. Stop driving operations immediately if you
notice something wrong or out of the ordinary
with the machine.
11. Never staple into any materials which may
allow the staple to puncture and fly through as
a projectile.
12. Never actuate the switch trigger and safety
lever at the same time until you are prepared
to staple workpieces. Allow the workpiece to
depress the safety lever. Never defeat its pur-
pose by securing the safety lever back or by
depressing it by hand.
13. Never tamper with the safety lever. Check the
safety lever frequently for proper operations.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the machine before insertion or
removal of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, pull out the set
plate on the machine and grasp both sides of the
cartridge while withdrawing it from the machine.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Snap the set plate back into
place. Be sure to close the set plate fully before
using the machine.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery car-
tridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
Charging (Fig. 2)
1. Plug the battery charger into your power source.
2. Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and
minus terminals on the battery cartridge are on the
same sides as their respective markings on the
battery charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the
port so that it rests on the charger port floor.
3. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charg-
ing light color will flash in red color and charging
will begin.
4. When charging is completed, the charging light
goes out. The charging time is as follows:
Battery 7000, 7100, 7120, 9000, 9100, 9100A,
9120: approx. 60 minutes.

CAUTION:
• The battery charger is for charging Makita battery
cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for
other manufacturer’s batteries.
• When you charge a new battery cartridge or a
battery cartridge which has not been used for a long
period of time, it may not accept a full charge. This
is a normal condition and does not indicate a
problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge
fully after discharging it completely and recharging a
couple of times.
• When you charge a battery cartridge from a just-
operated machine or a battery cartridge which has
been left in a location exposed to direct sunlight or
heat for a long time, let it cool off. Then re-insert it
and try to charge it once more.
• When you charge a new battery cartridge or a
battery cartridge which has not been used for a long
period, sometimes the charging light will go out
soon. If this occurs, remove the battery cartridge
and re-insert it. If the charging light goes out within
one minute even after repeating this procedure a
couple of times, the battery cartridge is dead.
Replace it with a new one.
Trickle charge (Maintenance charge)
If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to
prevent spontaneous discharging after full charge,
the charger will switch into its ‘‘trickle charge (main-
tenance charge)’’ mode and keep the battery car-
tridge fresh and fully charged.
