1. A half hour long hands-on training session with qualified per-
sonnel is recommended before using Huck equipment.
2. Huck equipment must be maintained in a safe working condi-
tion at all times. Tools and hoses should be inspected at the
beginning of each shift/day for damage or wear. Any repair
should be done by a qualified repairman trained on Huck pro-
cedures.
3. Repairman and Operator must read manual prior to using
equipment. Warning and Caution stickers/labels supplied with
equipment must be understood before connecting equipment
to any primary power supply. As applicable, each of the sec-
tions in this manual have specific safety and other information.
4. Read MSDS Specifications before servicing the tool. MSDS
Specifications are available from the product manufacturer or
your Huck representative.
5. When repairing or operating Huck installation equipment,
always wear approved eye protection. Where applicable, refer
to ANSI Z87.1 - 2003
6. Only genuine Huck parts shall be used for replacements or
spares. Use of any other parts can result in tooling damage or
personal injury.
7. If a part affixed with warning labels is replaced, or labels are
missing or damaged, the end user is responsible for replace-
ment. Refer to assembly drawing and parts list for replace-
ment part number and proper placement.
8. Disconnect primary power source before performing mainte-
nance on Huck equipment or changing Nose Assembly.
9. Tools and hoses should be inspected for leaks at the begin-
ning of each shift/day. If any equipment shows signs of dam-
age, wear, or leakage, do not connect it to the primary power
supply.
10. Mounting hardware should be checked at the beginning of
each shift/day.
11. Make sure proper power source is used at all times.
12. Release tool trigger if power supply is interrupted.
13. Tools are not to be used in an explosive environment unless
specifically designed to do so.
14. Never remove any safety guards or pintail deflectors.
15. Where applicable, ensure deflector or pintail collector is
installed and operating prior to use.

expected movement of tool.
21. Do not abuse tool by dropping or using it as a hammer. Never
