Safety Instructions
WARNING
Always wear EYE and
EAR safety gear when
working with or in the
vicinity of the Paslode
Angled Finish Nailer.
7.
NEVER OPERATE THE TOOL WITH THE WORK
CONTACTING ELEMENT REMOVED OR DISABLED.
This device helps reduce the possibility of accidental
fastener discharge by preventing the tool from operating
until it is completely against the work surface.
NEVER operate the tool if the work contacting element
is not working properly.
8.
ALWAYS POINT THE TOOL AWAY FROM
YOURSELF AND OTHERS WHEN CLEARING
JAMS OR REMOVING FASTENERS.
Pull the follower slightly back and push the release
lever. Tip the tool nose up slightly and fasteners should
slide out of the rear of the magazine. If fasteners are
jammed, refer to the appropriate servicing section of
this manual.
9.
NEVER OPERATE THE PASLODE
ANGLED FINISH
NAILER IF PARTS ARE LOOSE, DAMAGED OR
MISSING.
10. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS INTO KNOTS OR ON
TOP OF OTHER FASTENERS.
A fastener may ricochet and cause serious injury.
11. OPERATE THE TOOL ONLY ON THE WORKPIECE.
1.
Eye protection must meet the requirements of ANSI
Standard Z87.1 and should have side shields for
increased protection.
2.
NEVER ASSUME THE TOOL IS EMPTY.
Never point the tool at yourself or anyone else.
3.
NEVER ENGAGE IN "HORSEPLAY" WITH THE TOOL.
The Paslode Angled Finish Nailer is not a toy – it is a
tool. Careless and improper use may result in a serious
accident.
4.
NEVER CARRY THE TOOL WITH YOUR FINGER ON,
OR SQUEEZING, THE TRIGGER.
This practice may result in the accidental discharge of
a fastener.
5.
NEVER OPERATE A MALFUNCTIONING TOOL.
Refer to the servicing or troubleshooting section of this
manual to correct the problem. If the problem cannot be
corrected, stop using the tool and report it to your
supervisor or Paslode
®
representative.
6.
DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH THE TRIGGER
AND/OR WORK CONTACTING ELEMENT PRESSED
IN.
A fastener may be accidentally discharged.
WARNING
The Paslode Angled
Finish Nailer should be
operated only when it is in
contact with the work
surface. When fastening
thin materials such as
plywood, be sure to
position the tool so that
the fastener is driven into
the underlying piece.
