User manual MAKITA AN942(1)

[. . . ] Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not. Do not activate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. Respect the tool as a working implement. Do not hold or carry the tool with a finger on the trigger. [. . . ] The nail may be thrown and hit someone, or the tool itself can react dangerously. Place the nails with care. 7 Do not leave the loaded tool or the air compressor under pressure for a long time out in the sun. Be sure that dust, sand, chips and foreign matter will not enter the tool in the place where you leave it setting I . *Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the ejection port area. . . When the air hose is connected, do not carry the tool with your finger on the trigger or hand it to someone in this condition. Accidental firing can be extremely dangerous. 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). Do not attempt to carve or engrave on the tool. 8 Stop nailing operations immediately if you notice something wrong or out of the ordinary with the tool. . Always disconnect the air hose and remove all of the nails: 1. Before performing any maintenance or repair. Before moving the tool to 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. Trigger n *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 6 kgf/cm2G (85 PSIG), a compressor with an air output over 3 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 8. 5 mm (5/16") 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/cm2G (150 PSIG) or 150 percent of the maximum pressure produced in the system whichever is higher. Nailing frequency (timedmin. ) 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. When n ir et is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air fitting. This should be done before and after use. [. . . ] 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: 0 repairs have been made or attempted by others: 0 repairs are required because of normal wear and tear: 0 The tool has been abused, misused or improperly maintained; 0 alterations have been made t o the tool. IN NO EVENT SHALL MAKITA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FROM THE SALE OR USE O F THE PRODUCT. THIS DISCLAIMER APPLIES BOTH DURING AND AFTER THE TERM O F THIS WARRANTY. [. . . ]
