Functional Description - Makita AT1150A Instruction Manual

Selecting air hose
Fig.1
Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to
assure continuous, efficient stapling operation. With an
air pressure of 0.49MPa (4.9 bar), an air hose with an
internal diameter of over 8.5 mm and a length of less
than 20 m is recommended when the interval between
each stapling is 0.5 seconds. Air supply hoses shall
have a minimum working pressure rating of 1.0MPa (10
bar) or 150 percent of the maximum pressure produced
in the system whichever is higher.
CAUTION:
Low air output of the compressor, or a long or
•
smaller diameter air hose in relation to the stapling
frequency may cause a decrease in the driving
capability of the tool.
Lubrication
Fig.2
To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler,
regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool.
Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for
every 50 staples.
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
fitting. This should be done before and after use. For
proper lubrication, the tool must be fired 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 stapling
Fig.3
To adjust the depth of stapling, loosen the bolt by using
the hex wrench provided with the tool and then slide the
depth adjusting plate up or down.
If staples cannot be driven deep enough, slide the
adjusting plate in the direction of arrow as shown in the
figure.
Fig.4
If the staples are driven too deep, slide the adjustinhg
plate in the direction of arrow as shown in the figure.
Fig.5
The depth can be adjusted 5 mm to the maximum.
Tighten the bolt securely at the right position after
adjusting.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the hose before carrying out
•
any work on the tool.
Hook
Fig.6
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the hose from the tool.
•
Never hook the tool at high location or on
•
potentially unstable surface.
The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily.
Secure the hook on the tool with the provided screw
using either of two holes in the hook as shown in the
figure.
Loading stapler
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the hose before loading the
•
tool.
Do not use deformed staples or staple strip. Failure
•
to do so causes poor staple feeding.
Always use staples specified in this instruction
•
manual. Failure to do so causes poor staple
feeding.
Always return the pusher slowly and gently while
•
holding it with a hand.
Select staples suitable for your work. Make sure that the
hose is disconnected from the tool.
1. Pull the pusher to the rear of magazine and hook
the groove in the pusher on the lock pin.
Fig.7
2. Insert strip of staples into the magazine. Two
strips of staples can be loaded.
Fig.8
3. Depress the lock pin lightly and pull the pusher to
unhook it.
With the lock pin depressed, return the pusher
slowly and gently to the original position.
Keep depressing the pusher until it
through.
Fig.9
Connecting air hose
Fig.10
Slip the air socket of the air hose onto the air fitting on
the stapler. 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.
