Do not drive fasteners near edge of material.
The workpiece may split
causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail may follow the
grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive
the nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk of injury.
Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep an angle.
Personal
injury from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted nails may result.
Be aware of material thickness when using the nailer. A protruding nail may cause injury.
Be aware that when the tool is being utilized at pressures on the high end of its operating range,
nails can be driven completely through thin or very soft work material.
Make sure the pressure in
the compressor is set so that nails are set into the material and not pushed completely through.
Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area.
Hold workpiece with clamps when
necessary to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured
before pressing the nailer against the material. The contact trip may cause the work material to shift
unexpectedly.
Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes.
The tool may produce a spark
that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail may also cause a spark.
Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas.
Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing into hard or dense material.
Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as
fastener is driven.
In bump action mode (contact actuation mode) if contact trip is allowed to recontact
work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will be fired.
