Using your Makita 18V LXT® Brad Nailer is easy. First, insert the 18V LXT battery (sold separately) into the tool. Make sure it's a genuine Makita battery with the Star symbol for best performance. Then, load the 18 - gauge brad nails from 5/8' to 2' into the magazine, up to a maximum of 100 nails. You can use the 2 - mode selector switch to control how you nail. Adjust the depth of the nails 'tool - less' for a precise finish. When using, point the nailer at the work surface and press the trigger. The anti - dry fire mechanism will prevent any blank shots that could damage the work. Keep an eye on the battery gauge to know when it needs charging. Use the built - in L.E.D. light to see your work area better. After use, remove the battery to avoid over - discharging. Clean the tool regularly with a dry cloth. Store it in a cool, dry place. And always use only genuine Makita chargers for the battery to ensure long battery life and safety. With proper use and maintenance, your nailer will serve you well for a long time.
