ATTENTION! Never use the tool unless it is in contact with the piece of wood. To avoid injury and to prevent damage to the tool, do not use with damaged
nails or staples or fire into the air.
• Use recommended protective equipment at all times when operating the the tool.
• Each time the tool is fired, a small burst of air is released from the front of the tool. Keep your face away from this area. The direction of the air released can be controlled with units with a built
in air regulator.
• Make sure the staple/nail has been fired into the piece you are working on in accordance with your requirements. Driving depth can be adjusted by regulating the air pressure using the tool’s
regulator.
• At lower pressures the tool uses less energy, makes less noise, and there is less wear and tear on the unit.
• If any any defect or malfunction is discovered, disconnect the unit from the compressed air and send it to a specialist for revision.
