WARNING
COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES.
Danger to the eyes always exists due to the possibility of dust being blown
up by the

handling of the tool. For
these reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall
always be worn when operating the
tool. The employer and/or user must
ensure that proper eye protection is worn. The employer
is responsible to enforce the use of eye protection equipment
by the tool operator and all other
personnel in the work area.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not
provide
adequate protection.
2. EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN SOME ENVIRONMENTS.
As the working condition may include exposure to high noise levels which can
lead
to hearing damage, the employer and user should ensure that any
necessary
hearing protection is provided and used by the operator and others
in the work area.
3. DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EXCEPT AN AIR COMPRESSOR.
The tool is designed to operate on compressed air. Do not operate the tool on
any
other high pressure gas, combustible gases (e.g. Oxygen, acetylene, etc.)
since
there is the danger of an explosion. For this reason, absolutely so not
use anything
other than an air compressor to operate the tool.
4. OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE RANGE.
The tool is designed to operate within an air pressure range of 70 psi
to100 psi (5 to 7 bar). The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the
work being fastened. The tool shall never be operated when the operating
pressure exceeds 120 psi. (8.3 bar).
5. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE.
Never operate the tool near a flammable substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.).
Volatile fumes from these substances could be drawn into the compressor and
compressed together with the air and this could result in an explosion.
