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 not to modify and/or use this tool 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 contacted us.
1. SAFETY GLASSES
To prevent eye injuries, the tool operator and all persons in the
work area must wear approved safety glasses to ANSIZ87.1 specifications with
permanently attached, rigid side shields.
2. EAR PROTECTION
Wear ear protection to prevent possible hearing loss.
3. DRESS SAFELY.
Protective gloves and non-skid footwear or safety shoes
are recommended while working with and operating this tool. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
4. USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED, COMPRESSED AIR
at 85-120 PSI / 586 to
827 kPa / 5.9 to 8.3 bar.
5. DO NOT CONNECT TOOL
to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 PSI / 1379 kPa
/ 13.8 bar.
6. 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. Check that connections
are tight..
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. EXTENSION CORDS:
Follow carefully the instructions that accompany air
compressors concerning the use of the correct gauge and insulation on extension
cords used outdoors.
11. 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.
12. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.
Never use a tool if safety, trigger, or spring are
inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or springs.
Make daily inspections for the free movement of trigger and safety mechanism.
13. REPLACEMENT PARTS.
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts and
fasteners recommended by us.
14. 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.
15. ALWAYS ASSUME THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS.
Keep it pointed away from
yourself and others at all times. Handle the tool very carefully. Respect the tool as a
working implement.
16. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS
with the trigger depressed. The tool may unintentionally
fire a fastener.
17. DO NOT DEPRESS THE TRIGGER
when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool while
touching on the trigger mechanism: tool may fire an unwanted fastener.
18. DON’T OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over
or across machines which are running.
19. GRIP TOOL FIRMLY
to maintain control while allowing the tool to recoil away from the
work surface as the fastener is driven.
20. 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.
21. FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY.
Do not drive nails nor attempt to
do so, into hard or brittle materials such as steel, concrete, or tile.
22. 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.
