SAFETY RULES
26. KNOW 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.
27. KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS CLEAR of immediate work area. Hold workpiece with clamps
when necessary to keep body parts 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.
28. DO NOT USE THE 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.
29. 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.
30. GRIP THE TOOL FIRMLY to maintain control while still allowing it to recoil away from the work
surface as the fastener is driven. In bump action mode (contact actuation mode), allowing the contact trip to
recontact the work surface before the trigger is released will fire an unwanted fastener.
31. KEEP ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are
tired.
32. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. When using an air compressor outdoors, use only rounded
jackets extensions cords. These are intended for outside use. See manufacturer’s manual for the AWG
required for the compressor’s amperage draw.
33. PAY ATTENTION TO AIR HOSE AND THEIR CONNECTIONS. Don’t trip over the hoses. It isn’t
fun. Also, make sure the connections are nice and tight.
34. WHEN CONNECTING TO THE AIR SUPPLY, the tool is at risk of possibly firing fasteners. Be aware
of this and do not aim the gun at anything you do not want to shoot a nail into.
35. DO NOT DEPRESS THE CONTACT TRIP OR THE TRIGGER WHEN LOADING.
36. IF THE FASTENERS ARE JAMMED, disconnect the tool from the air supply first before removing the
jammed fasteners.
37. This tool is equipped with safe bracket that can adjust the depth of the driver. When adjusting the depth
of the driver, first disconnect the tool from the air and rotate nut by thumb to satisfactory position.
38.
DO NOT attempt to fire into hard or brittle materials such as concrete, steel or tile.
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions explained in this manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that COMMON SENSE
AND CAUTION ARE FACTORS WHICH CANNOT BE BUILT INTO THIS PRODUCT, BUT
MUST BE SUPPLIED BY THE OPERATOR. So don’t do anything stupid.
