Makita AF506 User Manual

Thus,forexample,ifnailingtakesplaceatarateof
approximately 60 times per minute at a compression
of0.74MPa(7.4bar),acompressorwithanairoutput
over 55 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
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.
►Fig.2
Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to
assurecontinuous,efcientnailingoperation.
Withanairpressureof0.49MPa(4.9bar),anairhose
withaninternaldiameterofover6.5mmandalength
oflessthan20misrecommendedwhentheinterval
between each nailing is 0.5 seconds.
Air supply hoses shall have a minimum working pres-
sureratingof1.03MPa(10.3bar)or150percentofthe
maximum pressure produced in the system whichever
is higher.
Lubrication
►Fig.3
Toinsuremaximumperformance,installanairset(oiler,
regulator,airlter)ascloseaspossibletothetool.
Adjusttheoilersothatonedropofoilwillbeprovided
forevery50nails.
Whenanairsetisnotused,oilthetoolwithpneumatic
tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air
tting.Thisshouldbedonebeforeandafteruse.
Forproperlubrication,thetoolmustberedacoupleof
timesafterpneumatictooloilisintroduced.

FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Always disconnect the hose
before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Adjusting depth of nailing
►Fig.5: 1.Adjuster
Toadjustthedepthofnailing,turntheadjuster.
Thedepthofnailingisthedeepestwhentheadjuster
isturnedfullyintheAdirectionshowninthegure.It
willbecomeshallowerastheadjusteristurnedintheB
direction.
Ifnailscannotbedrivendeepenoughevenwhenthe
adjusteristurnedfullyintheAdirection,increasethe
air pressure.
Ifnailsaredriventoodeepevenwhentheadjusteris
turnedfullyintheBdirection,decreasetheairpressure.
Generallyspeaking,thetoolservicelifewillbelonger
when the tool is used with lower air pressure and the
adjustersettodeeperdepthofnaildriving.
Hook
CAUTION: Never hook the tool at high loca-
tion or on potentially unstable surface.
CAUTION: Do not hang the hook from the
waist belt.Ifthenaileraccidentallydrops,itmay
resultinmisringandpersonalinjuries.
►Fig.6
►Fig.7: 1. Hook
Thehookisconvenientforhangingthetooltemporarily.
Air duster
CAUTION: Do not aim the ejection port of the
air duster to someone. Also, keep your hands and
foot away from the ejection port.Iftheairduster
buttonisaccidentallypushed,itmaycauseaper-
sonalinjury.
CAUTION: Always check your surroundings
before using the air duster.Blowndustorobjects
may hit someone.
CAUTION: Do not connect or disconnect the
air hose while pushing the air duster button.
The air supplied to the tool can also be used as an air
duster.Youcancleantheworkareabypressingthe
button on the grip end.
►Fig.8: 1.Button
NOTICE:Afterusingtheairduster,thedrivingforce
ofthetoolwilltemporarilydecline.Waituntiltheair
pressure recovers in this case.
NOTICE:Performatestblowifyouusetheair
dusterimmediatelyaftertheoilwasapplied.Theoil
may be sprayed with the air.
