MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose from the tool before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Jammed nailer (Fig. 21 & 22)
CAUTION:
• Always disconnect the air hose and remove the nails
from the magazine before cleaning a jam.
When the nailer becomes jammed, do as follows:
Open the magazine cap and remove the nail coil. Insert a
small rod or the like into the ejection port and tap it with a
hammer to drive out the nail jamming from the ejection
port. Reset the nail coil and close the magazine cap.
Drain tool
Remove the hose from the tool. Place the tool so that the
air fitting faces down to the floor. Drain as much as possi-
ble.
Cleaning of tool
Iron dust that adhere to the magnet can be blown off by
using an air duster.
Cap (Fig. 23)
When not in use, disconnect the hose. Then cap the air
fitting with the cap.
Storage
When not in use, the nailer should be stored in a warm
and dry place.
Maintenance of compressor, air set and air hose
After operation, always drain the compressor tank and
the air filter. If moisture is allowed to enter the tool, it may
result in poor performance and possible tool failure.
(Fig. 24 & 25)
Check regularly to see if there is sufficient pneumatic oil
in the oiler of the air set. Failure to maintain sufficient
lubrication will cause O-rings to wear quickly. (Fig. 26)
Keep the air hose away from heat (over 60°C, over
140°F), away from chemicals (thinner, strong acids or
alkalis). Also, route the hose away from obstacles which
it may become dangerously caught on during operation.
Hoses must also be directed away from sharp edges and
areas which may lead to damage or abrasion to the hose.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
