Additional Safety for Flooring Nailers
HAND AND FOOT INJURIES. Do not
place your hands or feet near or under
the nail point of entry. A nail/staple can
deflect and tear through the surface of the
workpiece, puncturing your hand or foot.
COMPRESSED AIR RATING. Do not
connect the nailer to compressed air that
exceeds 115 PSI.
ACTUATING MECHANISM. Be careful
not to bump actuating mechanism when
carrying or holding tool while connected
to air. If bumped, the tool may accidentally
shoot in dangerous direction.
SAFE HANDLING. Never point nailer at
others! Carry nailer only by handle, never
by any other part. Do not carry nailer by
air hose.
HOSE USAGE. Make sure your air hose
is designed for tool in use, is in good con-
dition, and is long enough to reach your
work area without stretching. However, an
overly long air hose in the work area may
be a tripping hazard.
OPERATING QUESTIONS. If you are not
sure about intended operation, stop using
nailer. Seek formal training, or research
books or magazines that specialize in
pneumatic tools.
NAILING. Avoid driving one nail/staple on
top of another. The nail/staple may deflect
and cause injury.
AIR SOURCE. Disconnect air source
before installing nails/staples, clearing
jam, moving to another work area, per-
forming maintenance, or when tool is
not in use. A nailer connected to air may
fire accidentally, causing serious personal
injury. DO NOT use check valve or any
other fitting that allows air to remain in
the tool.
COMBUSTIBLE GASES. Never connect
nailer to pressurized oxygen or other com-
bustible gases as a power source. Only
use regulated compressed air.
CLEANING. Never use gasoline or other
flammable liquids to clean nailer; vapors
in nailer will ignite by a spark and cause
it to explode.
TOOL SERVICE. If nailer is leaking air,
damaged, or not working correctly, DO
NOT use before repairing.
HAMMER SAFETY. DO NOT use hammer
with damaged handle or loose head. Make
sure nobody is standing close enough to
be hit when you swing hammer.
No list of safety guidelines can be
complete. Every shop environment
is different. Always consider safe-
ty first, as it applies to your indi-
vidual working conditions. Use this
and other tools with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury, damage to
equipment, or poor work results.
