Selecting the operation mode
CAUTION:
Always make sure that the actua-
tion mode selector is properly set to the position
for the desired nailing mode before nailing.

Actuation mode selector
Single sequential actuation mode:
You can drive one nail by one sequential operation.
Select this mode when driving a nail carefully and
accurately.
To choose this mode, set the actuation mode selector to
the
position.
Contact actuation mode:
You can drive nails repetitively by placing the contact
element with the trigger held.
To choose this mode, set the actuation mode selector to
the
position.
Single sequential actuation
CAUTION:
Do not place the contact element
against the workpiece with excessive force. Also,
pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1-2 seconds
after nailing.
Even in the “Single sequential actuation” mode, half-
pulled trigger causes an unexpected nailing, when the
contact element re-contacts the workpiece.
Place the contact element against the workpiece and
pull the trigger fully.
After nailing, release the contact element, and then
release the trigger.

Contact actuation
Pull the trigger first and then place the contact element
against the workpiece.

Removing jammed nails
CAUTION:
Always release the trigger and dis-
connect the hose before removing jammed nails.
CAUTION:
Do not use deformed nails or nail
strip.
Failure to do so causes poor nail feeding.

When the nailer becomes jammed, do as follows: Open
the magazine cap and remove the nail coil. Insert a
small rod or the like into the ejection port and tap it
with a hammer to drive out the nail jamming from the
ejection port. Reset the nail coil and close the magazine
cap.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance, always release the
trigger and disconnect the air hose from the tool.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
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.
Nails
Handle nail coils and their box carefully. If the nail coils
have been handled roughly, they may be out of shape,
causing poor nail feed.
Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place
exposed to direct sunlight.
Maintenance of nailer
Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose
screws before operation. Tighten as required.
With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure
free movement of the contact element and trigger. Do
not use tool if the contact element or trigger sticks or
binds.
When the tool is not to be used for an extended period
of time, lubricate the tool using pneumatic tool oil and
store the tool in a safe place. Avoid exposure to direct
sunlight and/or humid or hot environment.

Maintenance of compressor, air set
and air hose
After operation, always drain the compressor tank and
the air filter. If moisture is allowed to enter the tool,
it may result in poor performance and possible tool
failure.

Air filter
Check regularly to see if there is sufficient pneumatic
tool oil in the oiler of the air set. Failure to maintain suffi
-
cient lubrication will cause O-rings to wear quickly.

Keep the air hose away from heat (over 60°C, over
140°F), away from chemicals (thinner, strong acids or
alkalis). Also, route the hose away from obstacles which
it may become dangerously caught on during operation.
Hoses must also be directed away from sharp edges
and areas which may lead to damage or abrasion to
the hose.
