IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Only persons who have read and
understand the tool operating/safety instructions
should operate the tool.
WARNING: Actuating tool may result in flying
debris, collation material, or dust which could
harm operator's eyes. Operator and others in work
area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields.
These safety glasses must conform to ANSI Z87.1
requirements (approved glasses have "Z87" printed
or stamped on them). Employer is responsible for
enforcing the usage of eye protection equipment
by the tool operator and all other personnel in the
work area.
WARNING: Always assume that the tool
contains fasteners.
WARNING: (Air and Supply)
•
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool as tool may
explode, possibly causing injury.
•
Do not use supply sources which can potentially
exceed 200 p.s.i.g. (14 kg/cm
possibly causing injury.
•
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure
when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting
is used, the tool can remain charged with air
after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive
a fastener even after the air line is disconnected
possibly causing injury.
•
Do not pull the trigger while connected to
the air supply as the tool may cycle, possibly
causing injury.
•
Always disconnect air supply: 1.) Before making
adjustments; 2.) When servicing the tool; 3.) When
clearing a jam; 4.) When tool is not in use; 5.) When
moving to a different work area, as accidental
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
WARNING: When loading tool:
•
Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener
discharge area of tool.
•
Never point tool at yourself or anyone else.
•
Do not pull the trigger as accidental actuation
may occur, possibly causing injury.
•
Be careful when handling fasteners, especially
when loading and unloading, as the fasteners
have sharp points.
WARNING: Do not operate tool if:
•
There is any damage to air hose or fitting.
•
The tool leaks air.
•
The tool has received a sharp blow, malfunctions
or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return

workpiece contact can be fired unintentionally
causing injury to an operator or a bystander.
WARNING: When operating the tool:
•
Always handle the tool with care:
-
Never engage in horseplay.
-
Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed
toward the work.
-
Never point the tool at yourself or others.
-
Keep others a safe distance from the tool while
tool is in operation as accidental actuation
may occur, possibly causing injury.
-
Keep bystanders and children away while
operating tool.
-
Respect tool as a working implement.
-
Stay alert, focus on your work and use
common sense when working with tools.
-
Do not use tool while tired, after having
consumed drugs or alcohol, or while under
the influence of medication.
-
Do not overreach. Only use in a safe
working place.
-
Keep proper footing at all times.
•
Drive fasteners into work surface only.
•
When working close to an edge of a workpiece
or at steep angles use care to minimize chipping,
splitting or splintering, or free flight or ricochet of
fasteners, which may cause 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 load tool with fasteners when any one of
the operating controls is activated.
•
Use extra caution when driving fasteners into
existing walls or other blind areas to prevent
contact with hidden objects or persons on other
side (e.g., wires, pipes.)
•
The operator must not pull the trigger except
during fastening operation as serious injury could
result if the tool accidentally contacts someone or
something, causing the tool to cycle.
•
Keep hands and body away from the discharge
area of the tool. The tool may bounce from the
recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted
second fastener may be driven possibly
causing injury.
