BRAD NAILER & STAPLER SAFETY WARNINGS
BRAD NAILER & STAPLER SAFETY
1. THIS TOOL IS DESIGNED for household use
only, not for industrial or professional purposes. Do
not force the tool to do a job for which it was not
designed.
2. INSPECT TOOL BEFORE USE. Do not operate if
any portion of the tool, trigger, or safety bracket
is damaged, inoperable, disconnected, or altered.
Leaking air, damaged parts, or missing parts should
be repaired or replaced.
3. GRIP THE TOOL FIRMLY with both hands to
maintain control while still allowing it to recoil away
from the work surface as the fastener is driven.
4. KEEP FACE AND BODY PARTS AWAY from the
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.
5. DO NOT DISCHARGE fasteners into open air,
concrete, stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any
material too hard for the fastener to penetrate.
6. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS near the edge of your
work material. The workpiece may split, causing the
fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a bystander.
Be aware that the fastener may follow the grain of
the wood, causing it to protrude unexpectedly from
the side of the work material. Drive the fastener
perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk of injury.
7. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS onto the heads of
other fasteners. Do not use the tool at too steep of
an angle. Personal injury from strong recoil, jammed
fasteners, or ricochetted nails may result.
8. BE AWARE of material thickness when using the
nailer. A protruding nail may cause injury.
9. WHEN THE TOOL IS BEING UTILIZED AT
PRESSURES ON THE HIGH END of its operating
range, fasteners can be driven completely through
thin or very soft work material. Make sure the
pressure in the compressor is set so that fasteners
are set into the material and not pushed completely
through.
10. REMOVE FINGER FROM TRIGGER when not
driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with your
finger on the trigger.
11. IF THE FASTENERS ARE JAMMED, disconnect
the tool from the air supply first before removing the
jammed fasteners.
12. DISCONNECT tool from air supply when not in
use. Remove fasteners from magazine before leaving
the area or passing the tool to another operator. Do
not climb ladders, stairs, scaffoldings, etc. without
disconnecting the tool. Do not carry a connected
tool to another work area. Do not make adjustments,
remove magazine, perform maintenance or clear
jammed fasteners while connected to the air supply.
13. DO NOT REMOVE, tamper with, or otherwise
cause the tool, trigger or safety bracket to become
inoperable. Do not tape or tie the trigger or safety
bracket in the ON position. Do not remove springs
from the safety bracket. Make daily inspections for
free movement of the trigger and safety bracket. Do
not alter or modify the tool in any way.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. Always keep tools
clean and in good working order. Follow instructions
for lubricating, changing accessories and storage.
WARNING! Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety rules.
Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
