SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields that
meet ANSI Z87.1 requirements when operating
the tool. Make sure all others in work area wear
safety glasses.
WEAR HEARING PROTECTION.
Wear hearing protection to protect your hearing
from noise. Prolonged exposure to loud noise
can result in hearing loss.
NEVER OPERATE THE TOOL WITH OXYGEN
OR OTHER BOTTLED GASES.
Oxygen and other reactive or high-pressure bottled
gases can cause the tool to explode. Use clean,
dry regulated compressed air from a properly
operating air compressor.
DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED
OPERATING AIR PRESSURE OF 120 PSI/8.3 BAR.
Exceeding the maximum recommended air pressure
can cause the tool housing to burst, or cause
premature failure of components.
NEVER CONNECT THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY THAT
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO EXCEED 180 PSI/12.4 BAR.
Using a regulated air supply with a line or tank
pressure greater than 180 psi can cause the tool
to burst if the air line regulator falls suddenly.
USE AN AIR HOSE RATED FOR 180 PSI/12.4 BAR
OR GREATER.
Always use air hose rated to handle 180 psi or the
maximum potential pressure of the air supply.
ONLY USE A RELIEVING-TYPE AIR COUPLING
IN THE TOOL AIRLET OPENING.
Use of a non-relieving air coupling on the tool can
trap air inside the tool housing, and allow the tool
to drive a fastener even after the air hose has
been disconnected.
