• Do not use bottled gases to power this tool.
Bottled compressed gases such as oxygen,
carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, propane,
acetylene or air are not for use with pneumatic
tools. Never use combustible gases or any other
reactive gas as a power source for this tool. Danger
of explosion and/or serious personal injury may
result. (Fig. E)
• Use couplings that relieve all pressure from the tool
when it is disconnected from the power supply.
Use hose connectors that shut off air supply from
compressor when the tool is disconnected.
(Fig. F)
• Disconnect
tool
not in use. Always disconnect tool from air
supply and remove fasteners from magazine
before leaving the area or passing the tool
to another operator. Do not carry tool to
another work area in which changing location
involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders,
and the like, with air supply connected. Do not
make adjustments, remove magazine, perform
maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while
connected to the air supply. If the contact trip
is adjusted when the tool is connected to the air
supply and nails are loaded, accidental discharge
may occur. (Fig. G)
• Connect tool to air supply before loading
fasteners to prevent an unintentional fastener
discharge during connection. The tool driving
mechanism may cycle when the tool is
connected to the air supply. Do not load fasteners
with the trigger or the contact trip depressed to
prevent unintentional driving.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause
the tool, trigger, or contact trip to become
inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger or contact
trip in the on position. Do not remove spring
from contact trip. Make daily inspections for free
movement of trigger and contact trip. Uncontrolled
discharge could result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool
if any portion of the tool, trigger, or contact
trip is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not
working properly. Leaking air, damaged parts or
missing parts should be repaired or replaced before
use. Refer to Repairs. (Fig. H)
• Do not alter or modify the tool in any way. (Fig. I)
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself
at any time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the
tool as a working implement. (Fig. J)
