Additional Safety Information
WARNING:
Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING: ALWAYS
use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead‑based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically‑
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
fastener may fully penetrate the base material causing
serious injury or death to someone. Overpowering the
fastener can also damage the tool, creating a safety
hazard to both the operator or bystanders.
•
Do not fasten into cast iron, tile, glass, or other types
of brittle materials.
These materials can shatter and
create sharp fragments which may cause injury.
•
Do not fire tool within 3" (76 mm) of the edge of a
concrete base material or within 1/2" (13 mm) of the
edge of a steel base material.
•
Do not attempt to install a fastener closer than 3"
(76 mm) to another previously inserted fastener in
concrete or 1‑1/2" (38 mm) in steel.
•
Do not fasten into a concrete base material less than
3 times as thick as the fastener penetration or into a
steel base material thinner than 1/8" (3 mm).
•
Never attempt to install a fastener in a cracked
or spalled area in concrete.
Place fastener at least
3" (76 mm) away from a spalled area to prevent the
possibility of the fastener bending and striking an operator
or bystander.
•
Do not attempt to install fasteners in areas that
have been welded or cut with a torch as these
procedures may have caused local hardening of
the steel.
•
Do not fasten through a predrilled hole unless
proper guidance is provided.
•
If you decide not to make a fastening after the tool
has been loaded, you must always remove the
powder load first followed by the fastener.
•
Never attempt to override the safety features of
this tool.
•
Always keep the handle dry, and free of oil or grease.
•
Always check for electrical wiring behind the
surface into which you are driving a fastener before
actuating the tool.
•
The tool can only be used overhead and must be
used with a
D
e
WALT
Sniper pole tool.
Handling the Tool and Powder Loads
•
Never leave a loaded tool or the powder loads
unattended.
Once the tool is loaded, make the fastening
immediately or unload the tool.
•
Always unload the tool before work breaks,
changing parts, cleaning or servicing, and
when storing.
•
To prevent accidental discharge of loads, never
carry the powder loads in the same container as the
fasteners or other hard objects.
•
Always store the powder loads in the containers
provided or in an enclosure provided for them.
Never
intermix the various power levels. Keep them segregated in
clearly identified containers.
•
Powder loads should never be used in firearms.
They
are normally more powerful than the cartridges supplied
with the firearms.
•
Powder‑actuated tools and powder loads should
always be stored under lock and key.
Tools must be
unloaded when not in use.
•
Store the instruction manual, maintenance tools
and accessories supplied with the nailer in the case
.
Tool Malfunction
•
In the event that a load fails to discharge after the
tool is depressed, the tool must be kept depressed
against the work surface for a minimum of
30 seconds in case of a delayed load discharge.
Then
carefully remove the entire load strip and dispose of it in a
can of water or other nonflammable liquid. Never attempt
to force or pry a load out of a tool chamber.
•
Never discard unfired powder loads into a
trash container.
•
Do not attempt to unload or disassemble a jammed,
stuck or broken tool as improper handling may
cause it to discharge and strike operator and/or
bystander.
A jammed tool must be pointed in a safe
direction at all times. Tag the tool and lock it up. Call your
D
e
WALT
representative for proper assistance.
