Never carry the tool by
the air hose or pull the
hose to move the tool or
a compressor. Keep hoses
away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Replace any hose that
is damaged, weak or worn. Personal
injury or tool damage could occur.
Always assume the
tool
contains
fasteners. Respect the tool as a working
implement; no horseplay. Always keep
others at a safe distance from the work
area in case of accidental discharge of
fasteners. Do not point the tool toward
yourself or anyone whether it contains
fasteners or not. Accidental triggering
of the tool could result in death or
serious personal injury.
Do not drive a fastener
on top of other
fasteners. The fastener
could glance and cause
death or a serious
puncture wound.
Do not operate or allow
anyone else to operate
the tool if any warnings
or warning labels are not legible.
Warnings or warning labels are located
on the tool magazine and body.
Do not drop or
throw the tool.
Dropping or throwing the tool can
result in damage that will make the tool
unusable or unsafe. If the tool has been
dropped or thrown, examine the tool
closely for bent, cracked or broken parts
and air leaks. STOP and repair before
using or serious injury could occur.
Avoid using the
tool when the
magazine is empty. Accelerated wear on
the tool may occur.
Clean and check all
air supply hoses
and fi ttings before connecting the
tool to an air supply. Replace any
damaged or worn hoses or fi ttings.
Tool performance or durability may be
reduced.
TOOL USE AND CARE
a.
Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform.
Holding the
work by hand or against the body is
unstable and is able to lead to loss
of control.
b.
Do not force the tool.
Use the
correct tool for the application. The
correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which the
tool is designed.
c.
Do not use the tool if the switch
does not turn the tool on or off.
Any
tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
d.
Disconnect the
tool from the air
source before making adjustments,
doing tool maintenance, clearing
jams, leaving work area,loading,
or unloading the tool.
Such
precautionary measures reduce the
risk of injury to persons.
e.
Store the tool when it is idle out
of reach of children and other
untrained persons.
A tool is
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
f.
Maintain the tool with care.
Keep
a cutting tool sharp and clean. A
properly maintained tool, with sharp
cutting edges reduces the risk of
binding and is easier to control.
g.
Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that affects
the tool’s operation.
If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools. There is a risk of
bursting if the tool is damaged.
h.
Use only those fasteners listed
in the Accessories section of this
manual.
Fasteners not identified
for use with this tool by the tool
manufacturer are able to result in
a risk of injury to persons or tool
damage when used in this tool.
i. Selecting an appropriate tool
actuation system, taking into
consideration the work application
for which the tool is used.
Never
use
gasoline
or other fl ammable liquids
to clean the tool. Never use
the tool in the presence of
fl ammable liquids or gases. Vapors
could ignite by a spark and cause an
explosion which will result in death or
serious personal injury.
Do
not
remove,
tamper with, or otherwise
cause the trigger lock
or trigger to become
inoperable. Do not operate
any tool which has been modifi ed in a
like fashion. Death or serious personal
injury could result.
Do not touch the trigger
unless driving fasteners.
Never attach air line to
tool or carry tool while touching the
trigger. The tool could eject a fastener
which will result in death or serious
personal injury. Also actuate the trigger
guard to the safe position when not in
use.
Always disconnect the
tool from the power
source when unattended,
performing any maintenance or repair,
clearing a jam, or moving the tool to a
new location. Do not load the tool with
fasteners when the trigger is depressed.
The tool could eject a fastener causing
death or serious personal injury.
Always fi t tool with a
fi tting or hose coupling
on or near the tool in
such a manner that all
compressed air in the tool is discharged
at the time the fi tting or hose coupling
is disconnected. Do not use a check
valve or any other fi tting which allows
air to remain in the tool. Death or
serious personal injury could occur.
Never
place
hands or any other body
parts in the fastener
discharge area of the tool.
