Do not use on a ladder or unstable supports.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Make sure the hose is free of obstructions
or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can
cause loss of balance or footing and may
become damaged, resulting in possible injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
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.
Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners. Do not point the tool toward
yourself or anyone whether it contains
fasteners or not.
Wash hands after handling. This product or
its power cord may contain chemicals
known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
TOOL USE AND CARE
WARNING:
!
Disconnect the tool from the air source
before making adjustments, doing tool
maintenance, clearing jams,
touching the
safety yoke,
leaving work area, or
unloading the tool. Such precautionary
measures reduce the risk of injury to
persons.
●
Know this tool. Read manual carefully, learn
its applications and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards related to this tool.
●
Use only fasteners that are recommended
for your models.
Do not use the wrong
fasteners or load the fasteners incorrectly.
●
Use only accessories that are identified by
the manufacturer for the specific tool
model.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow maintenance instructions may create a
risk of injury.
●
Use only those fasteners recommended for
use with this tool.
Check for misalignment or binding of
●
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's
operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Maintain tools with care.
Keep tool clean. A

Do not drop or throw the tool.
throwing the tool can result in damage that will
make the tool unusable or unsafe. If the tool has
been dropped or thrown, examine the tool
closely for bent, cracked or broken parts and air
leaks. STOP and repair before using, or serious
injury could occur.
●
Avoid using the tool when the magazine is
empty.
Accelerated wear on the tool may
occur.
●
Clean and check all air supply hoses and
fittings before connecting the tool to an air
supply.
Replace any damaged or worn hoses

TOOL SERVICE
●
Use only accessories that are identified by
the manufacturer for the specific tool model.
●
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow maintenance instructions may create
a risk of injury.
●
Use only the lubricants supplied with the
tool or specified by the manufacturer.
●
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel.
OPERATION
●
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material.
The workpiece may split causing the fastener or
ricochet, injuring you or people around.
●
Do not carry the tool from place to place
holding the trigger. Accidental discharge
could result. Choice of triggering method is
important. Check manual for triggering options.
During normal use the tool will recoil

a normal function of the tool. Do not attempt to
prevent the recoil by holding the tool against the
work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a
second fastener being driven from the tool. Grip
the handle firmly and let the tool do the work.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
●
Do not drive fasteners on top of other
fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep
angle as this may cause deflection of
fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not point the tool

exceed 100 psi. If the regulator fails, the
pressure delivered to the tool must not exceed
200 psi. Over pressurizing the tool is able to
result in bursting, abnormal operation, breakage
of the tool or serious injury to persons. Use only
clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the
rated pressure or within the rated pressure
range as marked on the tool. Always verify prior
to using the tool that the air source has been
adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the
rated air-pressure range.
