SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

1. 

Operators and others in work area 

MUST wear ANSI‑approved safety 

goggles with side shields during use.  

The employer is responsible to enforce 

the use of eye protection by the operator 

and others in the work area.

2. 

Keep fingers away from trigger 

when not driving fasteners to avoid 

accidental firing.

3. 

Choice of triggering method is 

important.  Check manual for 

triggering options.

4.  Always assume tool contains fasteners.
5.  Do not point tool toward yourself or 

anyone whether it contains fasteners 

or not.

6.  Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is 

placed firmly against the workpiece.

7.  Respect the tool as a working implement.
8.  No horseplay.  This tool is not a toy and 

can be deadly if misused.

9.  Do not load tool with fasteners when any 

one of the operating controls, such as 

Trigger or Safety Nosepiece, is activated.

10.  Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise 

cause the tool operating controls to 

become inoperable.

11.  Do not operate if any portion of operating 

controls is inoperable, disconnected, 

altered, or not working properly.

12.  Disconnect the tool from the air 

supply when:

a. Unattended.
b. Performing any maintenance or repair.
c. Clearing a jam.

d. Moving the tool to a new location.

13.  Do not make any modifications to tool.
14.  Refer to the tool maintenance 

instructions for detailed information on 

the proper maintenance of the tool.

15.  Fire fasteners into an appropriate 

work surface only.  Do not attempt to 

fire fasteners into surfaces too hard to 

penetrate.  Do not drive fasteners on top 

of other fasteners, or at too steep of an 

angle.  Fasteners can ricochet causing 

personal injury.

16.  Do not fire fasteners too close to edge of 

a workpiece.  They may split workpiece 

and fly free, causing personal injury.

17.  Keep clear of workpiece near the area 

being fastened.  Fasteners may bend 

sideways during firing, causing them 

to exit the workpiece at an unexpected 

point, causing personal injury.

18.  Transport tool safely.  Always disconnect 

air supply when moving tool.  Carry tool 

by handle and avoid contact with trigger.

19.  Hold tool away from head and body. 

During operation the tool may kick back 

causing injury.

20.  Do not fire fasteners into a workpiece 

that has people, utility lines, or other 

objects behind or inside it.

21.  Keep balance while using this tool.  

Keep area below clear if working in 

an elevated location, and secure air 

hose to prevent falls from bystanders 

accidentally pulling on it.

22.  Obey the manual for the air compressor 

used to power this tool.

23.  Install in-line shutoff valve to allow 

immediate control over air supply in an 

emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.
