tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
injury.
■
Always wear safety glasses with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Everyday glasses
have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety
glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye
injury.
■
Protect your lungs.
Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
■
Protect your hearing.
Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
■
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.
■
Use the tool only for its intended use.
Do not
discharge fasteners into open air.
■
Use the pneumatic tool only for the purpose for
which it was designed.
■
Do not use hardened nails in this tool.
■
Use only the fasteners recommended for this tool.
Use of the wrong fasteners could result in poor fastener
feeding, jammed fasteners, and nails leaving the tool at
erratic angles. If fasteners are not feeding smoothly and
properly, discontinue their use immediately. Jammed
and improperly feeding fasteners could result in serious
personal injury.
■
Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a
fastener to be directed toward anything other than
the workpiece.
■
Do not use the tool as a hammer.
■
Always carry the tool by the handle.
Never carry the
tool by the air hose.
■
Do not alter or modify this tool from the original
design or function without approval from the
manufacturer.
■
Always be aware that misuse and improper handling
of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
■
Never clamp or tape the trigger or workpiece contact
in an actuated position.
■
Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose
attached.
■
Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a
legible warning label.
■
Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air or does
not function properly.
OPERATION
■
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
■
Do not carry the tool from place to place holding
the trigger.
Accidental discharge could result.
■
Always handle the tool with care:
●
Respect the tool as a working implement.
●
Never engage in horseplay.
●
Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed
toward the work.
●
Keep others a safe distance from the tool while
tool is in operation as accidental actuation may
occur, possibly causing injury.
■
Choice of triggering method is important. Check
manual for triggering options.
■
Pneumatic tools are designed for single-hand
use.
Do not hold the tool by the front of the magazine.
Do not put hands, head, or other parts of your body
near the bottom of the magazine where the nail exits
the tool, as serious personal injury could result.
■
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
■
Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive
a fastener into the workpiece.
■
Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully
positioned above the workpiece.
Positioning the
workpiece contact only partially above the workpiece
could cause the fastener to miss the workpiece
completely and result in serious personal injury.
■
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 nail may follow the grain of the wood, causing it
to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work
material.
■
Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate
work area.
Hold workpiece with clamps when
necessary to keep hands and body out of potential
harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured
before pressing the nailer against the material. The
workpiece contact may cause the work material to
shift unexpectedly.
■
Keep face and body parts away from back of the
tool cap when working in restricted areas.
Sudden
recoil can result in impact to the body, especially
when nailing into hard or dense material.
■
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function
of the tool.
Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by
holding the nailer against the work. Restriction to the
recoil can result in a second fastener being driven
from the nailer. Grip the handle firmly, let the tool
do the work and do not place second hand on top of
tool or near exhaust at any time. 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 drive fasteners close to the edge of the
workpiece as the wood may split, allowing the
fastener to be deflected possibly causing injury.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
■
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool as tool will
explode, possibly causing injury or death.
■
Do not use with an air compressor which can
potentially exceed 13.8 bar (200 psi) as tool may
burst, possibly causing injury.
■
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure
when air supply is disconnected.
