SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATE THE TOOL ONLY ON A WORKPIECE
The tool should be operated only when it is in contact with the work
piece. Even then you should be careful when fastening thin material
or working near the edges and corners of the work piece since the
fasteners may drive through or away from the work piece.
DO NOT DISABLE OR REMOVE THE WORK
CONTACTING ELEMENT
This tool is equipped with a safety mechanism, called a work
contacting element, to help prevent accidental firing. Never tamper
with, disable or remove the work contacting element. Do not use the
tool unless the work contacting element is working properly. The
tool could fire unexpectedly.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL WHEN NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the tool from the air line when it is not used or
when you leave the work area. The tool should never be left
unattended because people who are not familiar with the tool might
handle it and injure themselves or others.
CARRY THE TOOL ONLY BY THE HANDLE
Always carry the tool by the handle only. Never carry the tool by the
air hose or with the trigger depressed since you could drive a
fastener unintentionally and injure yourself or someone else.
DO NOT WEAKEN THE TOOL HOUSING
The tool housing is a pressure vessel and should never be weakened
by having your company’s name, area of work or anything else
stamped or engraved into its surface.
DISCONNECT THE TOOL WHEN PERFORMING
REPAIRS AND CLEARING JAMS
Never attempt to clear a jam or repair a tool unless you have
disconnected the tool from the air line and removed all remaining
fasteners from the tool.
