DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE TOOL IF THE TOOL’S
OPERATING CONTROLS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED OR ARE NOT
WORKING PROPERLY.
Attempting to use a tool with modified or malfunctioning trigger or workpiece
contact can result in a fastener being driven unintentionally.
USE CORRECT FASTENERS
Only use the correct fastener for the tool. Using fasteners with incorrect
specifications can jam the tool or cause serious injuries.
USE THE CORRECT FASTENERS FOR THE APPLICATION.
Using the wrong fasteners can cause the workpiece to split and allow the
fastener to fly free.
DO NOT DEPRESS TOOL NOSE WHEN LOADING FASTENERS
Depressing the tool nose during loading can result in tool actuation and an
unintentional fastener drive
AVOID DRIVING FASTENERS INTO KNOTS, ON TOP OF OTHER
FASTENERS, AT WORKPIECE EDGES, OR INTO BRITTLE MATERIALS.
Driving fasteners into extremely hard materials, or driving into workpiece edges,
can cause fasteners to deflect away from the workpiece. Flying fasteners can
cause serious injuries.
KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS AWAY FROM AREA BEING FASTENED.
Fasteners can deflect and turn as they are being driven into the workpiece, and
penetrate fingers, hands, and other body parts that may be in the fastening area.
DO NOT OVERREACH OR WORK WHILE ON UNSTABLE FOOTING
If you lose your balance while fastening, you could drive a fastener into yourself
or a bystander.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF TOOL MALFUNCTIONS OR BEGINS LEAKING AIR.
Operating a malfunctioning tool can result in an injury to yourself or others.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE AIR SUPPLY TO PERFORM
MAINTENANCE.
Never attempt to reload a tool, clear a jam, or perform maintenance without first
disconnecting the air supply.
NEVER LEAVE A PRESSURIZED TOOL
UNATTENDED
A pressurized tool could be picked up or handled by someone who is unfamiliar
with the tool or that has not read the tool manual.
KEEP TOOLS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN
Place the tool back in the tool box after use, and store the tool out of reach.
DO NOT MODIFY TOOL
Modifications can cause a tool to be unsafe and can cause the tool to operate
improperly.
