User manual MAKITA AF500HP

[. . . ] (2) Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not. (3) Do not activate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. (7) Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of the operating controls is activated. (8) Do not operate the tool with any power source other than that specified in the tool operating/ safety instructions. [. . . ] 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). Stop nailing operations immediately if you notice something wrong or out of the ordinary with the tool. â· When not operating the tool, always lock the trigger by turning the lock lever to the LOCK position. â· Do not modify tool without authorization from Makita. To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, maintenance and repairs should be performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts. â· Use only pneumatic tool oil specified in this manual. â· Never connect tool to compressed air line where the maximum allowable pressure of tool cannot be exceeded by 10%. Make sure that the pressure supplied by the compressed air system does not exceed the maximum allowable pressure of the fastener driving tool. Set the air pressure initially to the lower value of the recommended allowable pressure. Do not attempt to keep the trigger contact element depressed with tape or wire. â· Always check contact element as instructed in this manual. Nails may be driven accidentally if the safety mechanism is not working correctly. 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 60 times per minute at a compression of 1. 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. Nailer that the safety systems is in working order by following the procedure shown below. Release the finger from trigger and place the safety element against the workpiece. Bring the safety element off the workpiece, pull the trigger and then place the safety element against the workpiece. If the nailer works between 5 - 7, the safety elements are not in working order. Using the trigger lock To lock the trigger, set the lock lever in the "LOCK " position. When not in use, always set it in the "LOCK " position and disconnect the hose from the tool. [. . . ] Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose screws before operation. 23) With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure free movement of the contact element and trigger. 26) 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. Lock the trigger and slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on the nailer. [. . . ]
