Important safety instructions
Risk of eye or head injury
What could happen
How to prevent it
•
Air powered equipment are capable of propelling
materials such as fasteners, metal chips, saw dust, and
other debris at high speed, which could result in serious
eye injury.
•
Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
•
Never leave operating tool unattended. Disconnect air
hose when tool is not in use.
•
Wearing hearing protection and helmet during
operation is also strongly recommended.
•
Tool attachments can become loose or break and fly
apart propelling particles at the operator and others in
the work area.
•
For additional protection use an approved face shield in
addition to safety glasses.
•
Compressed air can be hazardous. The air stream can cause
injury to soft tissue areas such as eyes, ears, etc. Particles
or objects propelled by the stream can cause injury.
•
Make sure all connections are secure and check air
hoses for weak or worn condition before each use.
Risk of fire or explosion
What could happen
How to prevent it
•
Air nailers are capable of generating sparks which could
result in ignition of flammable materials.
•
Never operate tools near flammable substances as
gasoline, cleaning solvents, etc.
•
Work in a clean, well ventilated area.
•
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or other gases as a
power source for air tools.
•
Exceeding the maximum pressure rating of tools or
accessories could cause an explosion resulting in serious
injury.
•
Use compressed air regulated to a maximum pressure at
or below the rated pressure of any attachments.
•
Connect tool to air supply hose with a coupling that
automatically removes all pressure from the tool when
the coupling is disconnected.
•
Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of this tool
of 120 PSI.
•
Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working
pressure of at least 120 PSI or 150% of the maximum
system pressure, which ever is greater.
•
Always verify prior to using the tool that the air source
has been adjusted to the rated air pressure range.
