Read and understand all safety instructions  

and tool labels before operating.

 

SAFETY WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

• Always wear safety glasses with side shields that meet ANSI Z87.1 requirements when 

operating the tool. Make sure all others in work area wear safety glasses. 

• Always wear hearing protection to protect your hearing from noise. Prolonged exposer to loud 

noise can result in hearing loss.

• TO LOAD:  Point tool in a safe direction, lightly place one nail in the guide bushing tip.  A 

magnet in the bushing will hold the nail. DO NOT PUSH THE NAIL. Pushing the nail too deep 

into the tip can result in activating the tool.

• Only connect air to an unloaded tool to avoid accidental discharge and always keep tool 

pointed in a safe direction.

• Never point tool at yourself or others in the work area. Always keep tool pointed in a safe 

direction at all times.

• Use only clean, dry, regulated air, not to exceed 110 psi. 

• Never use oxygen or other bottled gasses-explosion may occur.  

 

WARNING

(Nailer Safety Label)

• Always DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY before making any adjustments, repairing, clearing jams or 

when the nailer is not in use. Do not use on scaffolding or ladders. Disconnect Nailer from air supply 

when transporting between installation areas.

• Never attach the female end of a quick disconnect to the Nailer. This will trap air inside the Nailer and 

permit it to be discharged. Only the unrestricted male connection should be attached to the Nailer.

• Nailer requires an air source that can continuously delivers 70 to 110 psi at 3-1/2 cubic feet of air 

per minute for operation. Normal air pressure should not exceed 110 psi or damage to the Nailer and 

seals may occur. Excessive air pressure can cause the Nailer to 

explode.

• Keep hands and body parts away from area being fastened. 

Fasteners can deflect and turn as they are being driven into the 

work piece, and penetrate fingers, hands, and other body parts 

that may be in the fastening area.

• Do not fire into hard or hazardous materials. Do not attempt to 

discharge tool into hard or brittle material.

• Do not modify the tool. Modifications can cause tool to be 

unsafe and can cause the tool to operate improperly.

• Keep tool out of reach of children.

• Never leave a pressurized tool unattended. A pressurized tool 

could be picked up or handled by someone who is unfamiliar 

with the tool or has not read the manual.

• Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can get caught in 

moving parts. Also wear protective hair covering to prevent long 

hair from getting caught in the tool.

• Keep Work Area Clean. Cluttered areas can invite injuries. Be 

aware of air hoses and other tripping hazards.
