IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 fittings before connecting the tool to an
air supply. Replace any damaged or worn hoses or fittings. Tool performance or
durability may be reduced.
Do not use the tool if it leaks air or does not function properly.
Do not operate the tool if it does not contain a legible warning label.
TOOL SERVICE
Use only accessories that are identified by the manufacturer for the specific tool
model.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized
parts.
Use only the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer.
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
OPERATION
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The workpiece may split causing the
fastener or ricochet, injuring you or people around.
Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the trigger. Accidental discharge
could result. Choice of triggering method is important. Check manual for triggering
options.
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after driving a fastener. This is a
normal function of the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the tool
against the work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a second fastener being
driven from the tool. Grip the handle firmly and let the tool do the work. Failure to
heed this warning Can result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep
angle as this may cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a fastener into the workpiece.
Always handle the tool with care:
a. Respect the tool as a working implement.
b. Never engage in horseplay.
c. Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed toward the work.
d. Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool is in operation as accidental
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
The connection the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If
an incorrect 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 use any type of reactive gases, including, but not limited to, oxygen carbon
dioxide and combustible gases, as a power source. Use filtered, lubricated,
regulated compressed air only. Use of a reactive gas instead of compressed air
may cause the tool to explode which will cause death or serious personal injury.
