•
Danger to the eyes always exists due to the possibility of dust, debris or fasteners flying up due to improper handling of the tool. For these
reasons safety glasses or goggles should always be worn when operating the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protections and hearing protection is worn. Eye protection equipment must
conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1 (Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 DEC. 1989)
and provide both frontal and side protection.
•
Ear protection may be required in some environments. As the working condition may include exposure to high noise levels which can
lead to hearing damage, the employer and user should ensure that any necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the
operator and others in the work area.
•
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool. Danger of explosion and/or serious personal
injury may result.
•
Use only clean, dry regulated compressed air at recommended pressure
•
Tools shall not be connected to pressure which potentially exceeds 175 psi or 12 bar.
•
Air hose rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 pst (10.3 bar) or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is higher.
•
Do not operate the tools near a flammable substance. Never operate tool near a flammable substance (thinner, gasoline, etc.). Volate
fumes from these substances could be drawn into the compressor and compressed together with the air resulting in an explosion.
•
Disconnect tool from air supply and remove fasteners from magazine before doing tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener,
leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.
•
Use Correct Fittings. The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If the wrong fitting is used, the
tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is disconnected,
possibly causing injury.
•
Never use tool that is leaking air or has damaged or missing parts. Inspect screw tightness, loose or improperly installed screws or bolts
cause accidents and tool damage when the tool is put into operation. Inspect to confirm that all screws and bolts are tight and
properly installed prior to operating the tool. Never use the tool if any portion of the tool controls (trigger, contact arm) is inoperable,
disconnected, altered or not working properly.
•
Never point the tools at co-workers or yourself at any time. Never actuate the tool into the air. This will avoid any hazard caused by
free flying fasteners and excessive strain of the tool. Always assume the tool contains fasteners.
Never carry the tool from place to place by the trigger or air hose.
•
Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design or function without approval from us or authorized representatives. Do not
remove spring from contact trip, inadvertent actuation could occur.
•
Always maintain proper footing and place yourself in a firmly balanced position when using or handling the tool. When using the tool in
an elevated place, secure the hose at a point close to the area you are going to drice fasteners. Accidents may be caused due to the
hose being pulled inadvertently or getting caught.
•
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, the fasteners can ricochet and hurt someone.
•
Never use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer, always use the tool for its intended use. Do not discharge fasteners into
concrete, stone, or any material too hard for the fastener to penetrate.
•
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work surface. The workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet, fly free or hit someone.
•
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool.
•
Keep face and body away from back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in hard impact to the body.
•
Never use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases, or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could ignite gases causing a fire
and cause the tool to explode.
•
Be aware of material thickness when using the nailer.
WARNING:
Read this manual and understand all instructions before operating the tool. If you have any questions, please contact with our
authorized representatives.
