Important Safety Instructions
(Continued)
g. Always wear hearing
protection when using the
tool. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise is
able to cause hearing loss.
h. Do not attach the hose or tool to
your body. Attach the hose to the
structure to reduce the risk of loss of
balance if the hose shifts.
i. Always assume that the tool
contains fasteners. Do not point
the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
j.
Do not nail
on top of
another nail. This is able to
cause the nail to be deflected
and hit someone, or cause the
tool to react and result in a risk
of injury to persons.
k.
Remove
finger from
the trigger when not driving
fasteners. Never carry the tool
with finger on trigger, the tool is
able to fire a fastener.
Always remain in
a fi rmly balanced
position when using or handling
the tool.

extended periods
of work with the tool. Stop using
the tool if you feel pain in hands or
arms.
TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against the body is
unstable and is able to lead to loss
of control.
b. Do not force the tool. Use the
correct tool for the application. The
correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which the
tool is designed.
c. Do not use the tool if the switch
does not turn the tool on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
d.
Disconnect the
tool from
the air source before making
adjustments, doing tool
maintenance, clearing jams,
leaving work area,loading,
or unloading the tool. Such
precautionary measures reduce the
risk of injury to persons.
e. Store the tool when it is idle out
of reach of children and other
untrained persons. A tool is
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
f. Maintain the tool with care. Keep
a cutting tool sharp and clean. A
properly maintained tool, with sharp
cutting edges reduces the risk of
binding and is easier to control.
g. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that affects
the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools. There is a risk of
bursting if the tool is damaged.
