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. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 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.

5. If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger

after the charging cycle is complete, the charger will switch into its ‘‘trickle charge (maintenance charge)’’ mode.

6. After charging, remove the battery cartridge from

the charger and unplug the charger from the power source. Battery type Capacity (mAh) Number of cells 9100 1,300 8 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. T221D (E) (’100. 3. 20) 5Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged. Always stop machine operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less machine power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-

ture at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it. Safety system (Fig. 3) Make sure all safety systems are in working order before operation. The machine must not operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only the safety lever is pressed against the wood. It must work only when both actions are performed. Test for possible faulty operation with a machine unloaded and pointed well away from yourself or any bystanders. NOTE: There is a possibility that the machine may operate for an instant when only the trigger is pulled. This does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, point the machine well away from yourself or any bystanders. Release and pull the trigger again to make sure the safety systems are in working order. Loading staples (Fig. 4,5&6) Important: Always remove the battery cartridge before loading the staples into the machine. Press the plate spring on the rear of the sub- magazine and slide the sub-magazine backward. Load staples into the main magazine with staple ends facing up as illustrated in Fig. 5. Slide the sub- magazine forward. To secure the sub-magazine in place, push the sub- magazine while pressing the plate spring on the rear of the sub-magazine. CAUTION:

Always secure the sub-magazine in place, or the staples can drop out and cause problems.

With the magazine loaded, if the machine is held downward and the sub-magazine is opened, the staples can fall out and present a danger to anyone or anything below. Keep this in mind especially when working in high locations. Depth adjustment (Fig.7&8) If the staples are driven too deep or too shallow, adjust the driving depth by turning the nut on the bottom of the machine. For deeper driving of staples, turn the nut clockwise. For shallower driving, turn the nut counterclockwise. Please note the nut must be turned in increments of 180° (1/2 turn) so that the groove on the nut runs parallel to the magazine. NOTE: If the distance between the machine end (A) and the material to be fastened is more than 2 mm, the machine will not operate because the safety lever is not pressed enough to operate the machine. Driving staples (Fig.9&10) Place the machine on the material to be fastened so that the front and the rear of the machine contact the material flat. Do not tip the machine to the right or left side. Hold the machine firmly against the material. Then pull the trigger to drive the staples. If the staples are driven too shallow, press the machine head as shown in Fig. 10 and drive the staples. If the staples are still driven too shallow, adjust the driving depth by turning the nut clockwise. Refer to ‘‘Depth adjustment’’. CAUTION: Do not operate the machine without staples. It short- ens the service life of the machine. If the machine becomes jammed, do as follows. First, remove the battery cartridge. Open the sub-magazine and remove the stuck staple using a screwdriver or the like. Sight window (Fig. 11) There is a convenient sight window on the left side of the machine (when viewing the machine from the front). Use this sight window to check if there are staples in the magazine. When staples are not visible through the window, load staples into the magazine. Staples

Handle the staples and their box carefully. If the staples have been handled roughly, they may be bent out of shape, causing poor staple feed or jamming.

Avoid storing the staples in a very humid or hot place or place exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not attempt to use staples that appear to be damaged, bent, rusty or corroded. MAINTENANCE CAUTION: Always be sure that the machine is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the machine. To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita Authorized Service Center.
