OPERATING SAFETY (continued)
RISK OF INJURY. Do not attach the air supply hose or tool to your body. Attach the hose
to the structure to reduce the risk of loss of balance if the hose shifts.
RISK OF INJURY. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Do not point the tool
toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not. A fastener could acciden-
tally be discharged causing serious personal injury.
RISK OF INJURY. Do not drive a fastener on top of another fastener. This could cause
the fastener to be deflected and hit someone, or cause the tool to react, causing personal
injury.
RISK OF INJURY. Never attempt to drive a fastener into material that is too hard, at too
steep of an angle, or near the edge of the work piece. The fastener can ricochet or the
tool can kick-back causing personal injury.
RISK OF INJURY. Do not cycle the tool unless the contact safety trip mechanism is
placed firmly against the work surface. Never fire the the tool into the air or point it in the
direction of yourself or another person or serious injury or property damage could occur.
RISK OF INJURY. 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.
RISK OF INJURY. Use only the fasteners listed in the Accessories section of this manu-
al. Using fasteners not identified by the manufacturer for use with this tool could create a risk
of injury or tool damage.
RISK OF BURSTING AND/OR INJURY. Use compressed air regulated to a maximum
pressure at or below the rated pressure of any attachments. Never operate the tool over
100 PSI. Exceeding the maximum pressure rating of tools or accessories could cause an
explosion resulting in serious injury.
TOOL CARE SAFETY
RISK OF INJURY. Do not modify, remove or bypass the trigger or contact trip safety
mechanism. If either one of these items are modified in any way, a fastener could accidental-
ly fire, causing serious personal injury or property damage.
RISK OF INJURY. Do not use the tool if the trigger does not turn the tool on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.
RISK OF INJURY. Disconnect the tool from the air source when unattended, performing
any maintenance or repair, clearing a jam or moving the tool to a new location. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool unintentionally.
RISK OF INJURY. Always disconnect the tool from the air supply and store in a locked
area when not in use. A fastener could be accidentally discharged causing serious personal
injury.
RISK OF INJURY. When the tool is not being used, store it in a locked place, out of the
reach of children and other untrained persons. A tool is dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
RISK OF INJURY. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that affects the tool's operation. If damaged, replace the tool or
have it repaired by an authorized service center. Accidents and personal injuries could result
from using poorly maintained or damaged tools. There is a risk of injury if the tool is dam-
aged.
RISK OF INJURY. Refer to the tool maintenance instructions for detailed information on
the proper maintenance of the tool.
TOOL SERVICE SAFETY
RISK OF INJURY. Disconnect air before servicing. Do not attempt to clear jams, disas-
semble, or service tool without disconnecting the air supply.
RISK OF INJURY. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
RISK OF INJURY. Tools should be repaired or equipped only with parts or accessories
that are supplied or recommended by the tool manufacturer.
RISK OF INJURY. The written approval of the tool manufacturer must be obtained
before making any modifications to the tool.
AIR SUPPLY SAFETY
RISK OF BURSTING AND/OR INJURY. Check for damaged air hose. Keep the air hose
away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Inspect the air hose periodically and replace it if it
becomes worn or damaged.
RISK OF EXPLOSION AND INJURY. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible
gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the tool. Such gases are capable of explo-
sion and serious injury to persons.
