WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listedbelowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/or seriousinjury. Save all warnings and instruc- tions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated(corded)powertoolorbattery-operated (cordless) power tool. Cordless nailer safety warnings

1. Always assume that the tool contains fasten-

ers. Careless handling of the nailer can result in unexpectedringoffastenersandpersonalinjury.

2. Do not point the tool towards yourself or any-

one nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge thefastenercausinganinjury.

3. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is

placed rmly against the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener maybedeectedawayfromyourtarget.

4. Disconnect the tool from the power source

when the fastener jams in the tool. While removingajammedfastener,thenailermaybe accidentally activated if it is plugged in.

5. Use caution while removing a jammed fas-

tener.Themechanismmaybeundercompression andthefastenermaybeforcefullydischarged whileattemptingtofreeajammedcondition.

Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical cables. Itisnotdesignedforelectriccableinstallation andmaydamagetheinsulationofelectriccables therebycausingelectricshockorrehazards.

Keep hands and feet away from the ejection port area.

8. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-

loading the fasteners, adjustment, inspection, maintenance or after operation is over.

Make sure no one is nearby before operation. Never attempt to drive fasteners from both the inside and outside of wall at the same time. Fasteners may rip through and/or y o󰀨, presenting a grave danger.

11. Watch your footing and maintain your balance

with the tool. Make sure there is no one below when working in high locations.

12. Never use fastener driving tools marked with

the symbol "Do not use on sca󰀨oldings, lad- ders" for specic application for example:

when changing one driving location to another involvestheuseofsca󰀨oldings,stairs,ladders, or ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths;

• closingboxesorcrates;

• ttingtransportationsafetysystemse.g.on vehicles and wagons.

13. Check walls, ceilings, oors, roong and

the like carefully to avoid possible electrical shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by stapling into live wires, conduits or gas pipes.

14. Use only fasteners specied in this manual.

The use of any other fasteners may cause malfunction of the tool.

15. Do not tamper with the tool or attempt to use it

for other than driving fasteners.

16. Do not operate the tool without fasteners. It

shortens the service life of the tool.

17. Stop driving operations immediately if you

notice something wrong or out of the ordinary with the tool.

18. Never fasten into any materials which may

allow the fastener to puncture and y through as a projectile.

19. Never actuate the switch trigger and contact

element at the same time until you are pre- pared to fasten workpieces. Allow the work- piece to depress the contact element. Never defeat its purpose by securing the contact element back or by depressing it by hand.

20. Never tamper with the contact element. Check

the contact element frequently for proper operations.

21. Always remove fasteners from the tool when

not in use. 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. Important safety instructions for battery cartridge

1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-

tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.

2. Do not disassemble or tamper with the battery

cartridge.Itmayresultinare,excessiveheat, or explosion.

3. If operating time has become excessively

shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.

4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them

out with clear water and seek medical atten- tion right away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.

5. Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1) Do not touch the terminals with any con- ductive material. (2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con- tainer with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc. (3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain.7 ENGLISH A battery short can cause a large current ow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown.

6. Do not store and use the tool and battery car-

tridge in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if

it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery cartridge can explode in a re.

8. Do not nail, cut, crush, throw, drop the battery

cartridge, or hit against a hard object to the battery cartridge. Such conduct may result in a re,excessiveheat,orexplosion.

9. Do not use a damaged battery.

10. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject

to the Dangerous Goods Legislation require- ments. Forcommercialtransportse.g.bythirdparties, forwarding agents, special requirement on pack- agingandlabelingmustbeobserved. Forpreparationoftheitembeingshipped,consult- ing an expert for hazardous material is required. Pleasealsoobservepossiblymoredetailed national regulations.

11. When disposing the battery cartridge, remove

it from the tool and dispose of it in a safe place. Follow your local regulations relating to disposal of battery.

12. Use the batteries only with the products

specied by Makita.Installingthebatteriesto non-compliantproductsmayresultinare,exces- sive heat, explosion, or leak of electrolyte.

13. If the tool is not used for a long period of time,

the battery must be removed from the tool.

14. During and after use, the battery cartridge may

take on heat which can cause burns or low temperature burns. Pay attention to the han- dling of hot battery cartridges.

15. Do not touch the terminal of the tool imme-

diately after use as it may get hot enough to cause burns.

16. Do not allow chips, dust, or soil stuck into the

terminals, holes, and grooves of the battery cartridge.Itmaycauseheating,catchingre, burstandmalfunctionofthetoolorbatterycar- tridge,resultinginburnsorpersonalinjury.

17. Unless the tool supports the use near

high-voltage electrical power lines, do not use the battery cartridge near high-voltage electri- cal power lines. It may result in a malfunction or breakdownofthetoolorbatterycartridge.

18. Keep the battery away from children.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. CAUTION: Only use genuine Makita batteries. Useofnon-genuineMakitabatteries,orbatteriesthat havebeenaltered,mayresultinthebatterybursting causingres,personalinjuryanddamage.Itwill also void the Makita warranty for the Makita tool and charger. Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

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

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-

tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-

perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4. When not using the battery cartridge, remove

it from the tool or the charger.

5. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use

it for a long period (more than six months).
