IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
When using pneumatic tools, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
READ
ALL
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
We strongly recommend that this tool not be modified and /or used for any application other
than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to its application, do
not use the tool until you have written us and we have advised you.
1.
SAFETY GLASSES
To prevent eye injuries, the tool operator and all persons in the
work area must wear approved safety glasses with permanently attached, rigid side
shields.
2.
EAR PROTECTION
Wear ear protection to safeguard against possible hearing loss.
.
USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED, COMPRESSED AIR
at 70 to 90 psi / 488 to 621
kPa / 4.88 to 6.2 bar.
4.
DO NOT CONNECT TOOL
to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi / 1379 kPa /
1.8 bar.
5.
AIR HOSE
Only use hose that is rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi or
150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
6.
NEVER USE OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE,
combustible gases or any other bottled
gas as a power source for this tool. Explosion and serious personal injury could result.
7.
COUPLINGS
Connect tool to air supply hose with a 1/4" NPT coupling that removes all
pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnnected.
8.
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY
hose before doing any disassembly,
maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to
another location, or handing the tool to another person.
9.
NEVER USE A TOOL
that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires
repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened.
10.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS
. Never use a tool if safety, trigger, or spring are inop
-
erable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or springs. Make
daily inspections for the free movement of trigger and safety mechanism.
11.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
. When servicing, use only identical ITC replacement parts
and fasteners recommended by us.
12.
CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY BEFORE
loading fasteners to prevent fasteners
from firing during connection. The fastener driving mechanism may cycle when the
tool is connected to the air supply.
1.
ALWAYS ASSUME THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS
. Keep it pointed away from
yourself and others at all times. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a working imple
-
ment.
14.
DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS
with trigger or safety depressed. The tool may uninten
-
tionally fire a fastener.
15.
DO NOT DEPRESS THE TRIGGER
when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool with
finger on trigger mechanism: tool may fire an unwanted fastener.
16.
DON’T OVERREACH
. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over
or across machines which are running.
17.
FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY:
never into materials too hard to
penetrate
18
GRIP TOOL FIRMLY
to maintain control while allowing the tool to recoil away from the
work surface as the fastener is driven. If the safety is allowed to recontact the work
surface before the trigger is released, an unwanted fastener will be fired.
19
DO NOT DRIVE NAILS
on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at too steep an
angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury.
20
DO NOT DRIVE NAILS
too close to the edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is likely
to split, allowing the fasteners to fly free or ricochet causing personal injury.
21
STAY ALERT.
Keep hands and body away from the path of any potential fired fastener.
Watch what you are doing & use common sense. Don’t operate any tool when you are
tired.
22
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces:
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. Before driving fasteners into
walls, floors, or wherever “live” electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain
whether there is a danger of shock.
2.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAR
of obstructions.
24.
EMPLOYERS
must enforce compliance with the safety warnings and all other
!
