IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Improper maintenance and operation are responsible for the majority of accidents
involving brad nailers. The largest portion of these could be prevented by recogniz-
ing the basic safety rules and precautions. Most accidents can be avoided if the
operator recognizes a potentially hazardous situation before it happens and by
observing appropriate safety rules and procedures as outlined in this manual.
