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.

Basic safety precautions are outlined in the SAFETY portion of this manual and
throughout text in this manual where a potential hazard might occur.

Hazards that MUST be avoided to prevent serious injury follow headers marked
DANGER or WARNING. These same precautions are placed as labels on the tool
itself.

NEVER use this nailer for applications that are NOT specified in this manual.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Do not operate brad nailer anywhere fastener may contact hidden electrical
wiring. 
Contact with a “live” wire will make all metal parts of the brad nailer
“live.” This can result in severe electrical shock, severe burns or death to the
operator. Contact a qualified electrical contractor to ensure a safe working envi-
ronment exists.

Be aware of conduits or gas pipes. Striking a gas pipe could result in an explo-
sion causing serious injuries or even death to the operator or bystanders.

Be aware of what is behind the work piece. A fastener could travel through the
work piece and out the other side, striking a bystander resulting in serious
injury or even death.

Do not operate the brad nailer in the presence of flammable liquids, such as
gasoline, thinner, paint, or adhesives, gases or dust. 
Sparks created by the tool
can cause flammable materials to ignite or explode. Failure to comply with this warn-
ing could result in serious injury or even death to the operator.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors away from area where brad nailer is
being used. 
Distractions can result in severe injury or even death to anyone
who inadvertently gets in the way of nailing operations.

Do not use oxygen, combustible or bottled gases (such as carbon
dioxide or nitrogen) as a power source for the brad nailer. 
Use
only compressed air from a source as outlined in this manual. The

tool will explode resulting in severe injury or even death to the operator and
bystanders.

CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in property damage.

NOTE provides additional information that is useful
for proper use and maintenance of this tool. If a
NOTE is indicated make sure it is fully understood.

In addition to SAFETY ALERTS listed above, there could also be numerous symbols
alerting the operator that specific safety equipment is required to safely operate this
tool. Learn these SAFETY SYMBOLS as well as the SAFETY ALERTS to prevent
injury to the operator and to bystanders. 

READ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: Read and understand tool labels,
safety warnings and precautions in this manual before operating the tool.
Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in serious injury or even death
to the operator or bystanders.

WEAR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses must conform to
the requirements of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1
and provide protection against flying particles from both front and side.

WEAR HEARING PROTECTORS: Hearing protectors should be worn to
protect the ears from loud exhaust noise produced by the air tools.

USE ONLY CLEAN, DRY COMPRESSED AIR: Never use oxygen, com-
bustible gases and any other bottled gas to operate air tools. Using these
other sources can cause the air tool to explode.

NEVER POINT THE BRAD NAILER AT YOURSELF OR OTHERS: Fasteners
are under extreme pressure and can cause severe injury or even death if
misused.

DO NOT EXCEED 120 psi (8.43 kg/cm

2

G). Using excessive pressure

from the power source can cause the brad nailer to explode resulting in
severe injury or even death to the operator or bystanders.
