4. USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED, COMPRESSED AIR
at 70 to 90 PSI /
488 to 621 kPa / 4.88 to 6.2 bar.
5. DO NOT CONNECT TOOL
to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 PSI /
1379 kPa / 13.8 bar.
6. AIR HOSE

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

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 with air
compressors concerning the use of the correct gauge and insulation on
extension cords used outdoors.

trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections for the free movement of trigger
and safety mechanism.
13. REPLACEMENT PARTS
. When servicing, use only identical RONA
replacement parts and fasteners recommended for your model.
14. CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY BEFORE
loading fasteners to prevent
fasteners from firing during connection. The fastener driving mechanism
