• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control . When tool is not in use, it should be locked in a safe
place, out of the reach of children .
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at
all times. Loss of balance may cause cause personal injury .
• Make sure hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled
or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing.
• Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge
fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard
woods, knots or any material too hard for the fastener
to penetrate. Do not use the body of the tool as a hammer .
Discharged fasteners may follow unexpected path and cause
injury .
• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for
detailed information on the proper maintenance of the
tool
• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be sure the work surface is
clear of any debris and be careful not to lose footing when working in elevated
environments such as rooftops.
• Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The workpiece may split causing
the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the fastener may
follow the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of
the work material . Drive the fastener perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk of injury .
• Do not drive fasteners onto the heads of other fasteners. Personal injury from
strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted fasteners may result.
• Be aware of material thickness when using the tool. A protruding fastener may
cause injury.
• Be aware that when the tool is being utilized at pressures on
the high end of its operating range, fasteners can be driven
completely through thin or very soft work material. Make
sure the pressure in the compressor is set so that fasteners
are set into the material and not pushed completely through.

• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area.
• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases
or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could ignite
gases causing a fire. Driving a fastener into another fastener
may also cause a spark . (Fig . K)
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to
recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven.
• Do not drive fasteners blindly into walls, floors or other
work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in
injury. (Fig . L)
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury .
• Use the mallet to rack the wood strip, not the tool.
