NOTE
TO AVOID SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
Before operating this tool, all operators should read and study this manual to understand and follow the
safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow warnings could result in death or serious injury. Keep
these instructions with the tool for future reference.
Eye Protection
Which conforms to ANSI/ CE specifications and provides protection against flying particles both from
the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and others in the work area when
connecting to air supply, loading, operating, or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard
against flying fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury. The employer and/or user must
ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to the requirements
of the ANSI Z87.1 and 89/686/EEC, and provide both frontal and side protection.
CAUTION
Additional Safety Protection is required in some environments. For example, the working area may
include exposure to noise level which can lead to hearing damage. The employer and user must ensure
that any necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the operator and others in the work area.
Some environments will require the use of head protection equipment. When required, the employer and
user must ensure that head protection conforming to ANSI Z89.1/ CE is used.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool may
explode possibly causing injury.
Do not use supply sources which can potentially exceed 14bar (200 PSI) as the tool may burst, possibly
causing injury.
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting is
used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener
even after the air line is disconnected, possibly causing injury. Do not pull trigger or depress contact arm
while connected to the air supply as the tool may cycle, possibly causing injury.
Always disconnect air supply: 1.) Before making adjustments; 2.) When servicing the tool; 3.) When
clearing a jam; 4.) When tool is not in use; 5.) When moving to a different work area; otherwise,
accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
