• Wear hearing protection to protect your ears against
exhaust noise and head protection. Also wear light
but not loose clothing. Sleeves should be buttoned
or rolled up. No necktie should be worn.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Operating the tool can create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating
the tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Illuminate the work area sufficiently.
• There may be local regulations concerning noise
which must be complied with by keeping noise
levels within prescribed limits. In certain cases,
shutters should be used to contain noise.
Safety devices
• Make sure all safety systems are in working order before
operation. The tool must not operate if only the trigger is
pulled or if only the contact arm is pressed against the
wood. It must work only when both actions are performed.
Test for possible faulty operation with fasteners unloaded
and the pusher in fully pulled position.
• Do not play with the contact element: it prevents
accidental discharge, so it must be kept on and
not removed. Securing the trigger in the ON
position is also very dangerous. Never attempt to
fasten the trigger. Do not operate a tool if any
portion of the tool operating controls is inoperable,
disconnected, altered, or not working properly.

6
• Do not attempt to keep the contact element depressed
with tape or wire. Death or serious injury may occur.
• Always check contact element as instructed in this
manual. fasteners may be driven accidentally if the
safety mechanism is not working correctly.
Loading fasteners
• Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one
of the operating controls is activated.
• Use only fasteners specified in this manual. The use of
any other fasteners may cause malfunction of the tool.
Power source
• Never connect the tool to compressed air line where the
air pressure can exceed the suitable air pressure range
of the tool, specified in the "SPECIFICATIONS" table, by
10%. Make sure that the pressure supplied by the
compressed air system does not exceed the suitable air
pressure range of the tool. Set the air pressure initially to
the lower value of the suitable air pressure range.
• Operate the tool at the lowest pressure required for
the application, in order to prevent unnecessarily high
noise levels, increased wear and resulting failures.
• Never use the tool with other than compressed air. If
bottled gas (carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen,
air, etc.) or combustible gas (hydrogen, propane,
acetylene, etc.) is used as a power source for this tool,
the tool will explode and cause serious injury.
• Always disconnect the air hose and remove all of
the fasteners:
−when unattended;
−before performing any maintenance or repair;
−before cleaning a jam;
−before moving the tool to a new location.
• Use only pneumatic tool oil specified in this manual.
Operational safety
• Always check the tool for its overall condition and
loose screws before operation. Tighten as required.
• 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.
• Stop the operation immediately if you notice
something wrong or out of the ordinary with the tool.
An improperly functioning tool must not be used.
• Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the vicinity.
Keep hands and feet away from the ejection port area.
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
• Never point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
• Do not rush the job or force the tool. Handle the
tool carefully.
• Do not activate the tool unless the tool is placed
firmly against the workpiece.
• Never hold or carry the tool with a finger on the
trigger or hand it to someone in this condition.
Accidental firing can cause serious injury.
• Never use fastener driving tools marked with the
symbol "Do not use on scaffoldings, ladders" for
specific application for example:
−when changing one driving location to another
involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders,
or ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths;
−closing boxes or crates;
−fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on
vehicles and wagons.
• Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the like
carefully to avoid possible electrical shock, gas
leakage, explosions, etc. caused by striking live
wires, conduits or gas pipes.
• Do not use the tool for fastening electrical cables.
It is not designed for electric cable installation and
may damage the insulation of electric cables
thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.
• Watch your footing and maintain your balance with
the tool. Make sure there is no one below when
working in high locations, and secure the air hose to
prevent danger if there is sudden jerking or catching.
• On rooftops and other high locations, drive
fasteners as you move forward. It is easy to lose
your footing if you drive fasteners while inching
backward. When driving fasteners against
perpendicular surface, work from the top to the
bottom. You can perform driving operations with
less fatigue by doing so.
• A fastener will be bent or the tool can become
jammed if you mistakenly drive fastener on top of
another fastener or strike a knot in the wood. The
fastener may be thrown and hit someone, or the
tool itself can react dangerously. Place the
fasteners with care.
• 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.
• Never attempt to drive fasteners from both the
inside and outside at the same time. Fasteners may
rip through and/or fly off, presenting a grave danger.
Service
• Perform cleaning and maintenance right after finishing
the job. Keep the tool in tip-top condition. Lubricate
moving parts to prevent rusting and minimize friction-
related wear. Wipe off all dust from the parts.
• Ask Makita authorized service center for periodical
inspection of the tool.
• To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
maintenance and repairs should be performed by
Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using
Makita replacement parts.
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.

009173
The air compressor must comply with the requirements
of EN60335-2-34.
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 50 times per minute at a compression of
1.76 MPa (17.6 bar), a compressor with an air output
over 90 liters/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
Fig.1
Use a high pressure resistant air hose.
Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to
assure continuous, efficient nailing operation.
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
Before and after use, oil the tool with pneumatic tool oil
by placing two or three drops into the air fitting. For
proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of
times after pneumatic tool oil is introduced.
Fig.2
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Adjusting the nailing depth
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the hose before adjusting the
depth of nailing.

If nails are driven too deep, turn the adjuster clockwise.
If nails are driven too shallow, turn the adjuster
countercolockwise.
The adjustable range is 0 - 6 mm. (One full turn allows
0.8 mm adjustment.)
Hook
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the hose when hanging the tool
using the hook.
• Never hang the tool on a waist belt or like.
Dangerous accidental firing may result.
Fig.5
The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily.
This hook can be installed on either side of the tool.
When changing the installation position, remove the
screw with a screwdriver. Install the hook on another
side for installation and then secure it with the screw.
Use the nose adapter
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the hose before installing or
removing the nose adapter.

enough nails to reach the feed claw. Place the first nail
in the driver channel and the second nail in the feed
claw. Place other uncoiled nails on feeder body. Close
the magazine cap slowry until it lock after checking to
see that the nail coil is set properly in the magazine.
Fig.9
Connecting air hose
Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on
the nailer. Be sure that the air socket locks firmly into
position when installed onto the air fitting. A hose
coupling must be installed on or near the tool in such a
way that the pressure reservoir will discharge at the
time the air supply coupling is disconnected.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Make sure all safety systems are in working order
before operation.

2. Pull the trigger first and then place the contact
element against the workpiece.
• No. (1) method is for intermittent nailing, when you
wish to drive a nail carefully and very accurately.
No. (2) method is for continuous nailing.
CAUTION:
• However when the tool is set to the "Intermittent
Nailing" mode, WITH THE TRIGGER HELD IN A
HALF-PULLED POSITION, an unexpected nailing
could occur, if contact element is allowed to re-
contact against the workpiece or the other surface
under the influence of recoil.
In order to avoid this unexpected nailing, perform
as follows;
−A. Do not place the contact element against the
workpiece with excessive force.
−B. Pull the trigger fully and hold it on for 1-2
seconds after nailing.
• For No. (1) method, set the change lever to
the position.
For No. (2) method, set the change lever to
the position.
