IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, OR PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING!
When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including
the following.
WORK AREA
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
increase the risk of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The tool may produce sparks resulting in the
ignition of the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the tool. Distractions
may cause you to lose control of the tool.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Always wear eye protection. Operator and others in the work area should always
wear ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields. Eye protection is used to
guard against flying fasteners and debris, which may cause severe eye injury.
Always wear hearing protection when using the tool. Extended exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be
used for the applicable conditions.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
!
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the
tool while tried or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating the tool increase the risk of personal injury.
Avoid unintentional firing. Keep fingers away from hammer cap when not driving
fasteners, especially when connecting the tool to the air supply.Be sure the
hammer cap is off before connecting to the air supply. Do not carry the tool with
your finger on the hammer cap or connect the tool to the air supply with the
hammer cap on.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach. Do not use on a
ladder or unstable support. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the
tool in unexpected situation.
Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses
can cause loss of balance or footing and may become damaged, resulting in
possible injury.
Do not attach the hose or tool to your body. Attach the hose to the structure to
reduce the risk of loss of balance if the hose shifts.
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Do not point the tool toward
yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not.
!
WARNING!
Do not fire a nail on top of another nail. This may cause the nail to
be deflected and hit someone, or cause the tool to react and result in a risk of
personal injury.
