Do not force tool.
Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it
is designed.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding a tool by hand or
against the body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Always use a
clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
or any strong solvents to clean your tool.
Do not use the tool as a hammer.
Never use this tool in a manner that could
cause a fastener to be directed toward
anything other than the workpiece.
Never use gasoline or other flammable
liquids to clean the tool.
Never use the
tool in the presence of flammable liquids or
gases. Vapors could ignite by a spark and
cause an explosion which will result in
death or serious personal injury.
Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise
cause the trigger lock or trigger to
become inoperable.
Do not operate any
tool which has been modified in a like
fashion. Death or serious personal injury
could result.
Do not touch the trigger unless driving
fasteners.
Never attach air line to tool or
carry tool while touching the trigger. The
tool could eject a fastener which will result
in death or serious personal injury. Also
actuate the trigger lock to the safe position
when not in use.
Always fit
tool with a fitting or hose
the
coupling on or near the tool
that
in a way
all
compressed air in the
the remaining
tool is discharged at the time the fitting
or hose coupling is disconnected.
Do not
use a check valve or any other fitting which
allows air to remain in the tool. Death or
serious personal injury could occur.
Never place hands or any other body
parts in the fastener discharge area of
the tool.
The tool might eject a fastener
and could result in death or serious
personal injury.
Never carry the tool by the air hose or
pull the hose to move the tool or a
compressor.
Keep hoses away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Replace any hose that
is weak, worn, or otherwise damaged.
Personal injury or tool damage could occur.
Always assume the tool contains
fasteners.
Respect the tool as a working
●

implement; no horseplay.
Always keep others at a safe distance
from the work area in case of accidental
discharge of fasteners.
Do not point the
tool toward yourself or anyone whether it
contains fasteners or not. Accidental
triggering of the tool could result in death or
serious personal injury.
Do not drop or throw the tool.
Dropping or
throwing the tool can result in damage that
will make the tool unusable or unsafe. If the
tool has been dropped or thrown, examine
the tool closely for an air leak or bent,
cracked or broken parts. STOP and repair
before using, or serious injury could occur.
Avoid using the tool when the magazine
is empty.
Accelerated wear on the tool may
occur.
Clean and check all air supply hoses and
fittings before connecting the tool to an
air supply.
Replace any damaged or worn
hoses or fittings. Tool performance or
durability may be reduced.
Do not use the tool if it leaks air or does
not function properly.
Do not operate the tool if it does not
contain a legible warning label.
Always carry the tool by the handle.
Never
carry the tool by the air hose.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable
supports.
Stable footing on a solid surface
enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
M a k e s u r e t h e h o s e i s f r e e o f
obstructions or snags.
Entangled or
snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or
footing and may become damaged,
resulting in possible injury.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
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.
Wash hands after handling.
This product
or its power cord may contain chemicals
known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Know this tool.
Read manual carefully,
learn its applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards
related to this tool.
O n l y u s e f a s t e n e r s t h a t a r e
recommended for your models.
Do not
use the wrong fasteners or load the
fasteners incorrectly.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s
operation.
If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Maintain tools with care.
Keep tool clean.
A properly maintained tool reduces the risk
of binding and is easier to control.
Store tools out of the reach of children
and other untrained people.
Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Check operation of the tool before use.
Do not use the tool if the workpiece contact
mechanism is not working correctly as
accidental driving of a fastener may occur.
Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate
properly.
Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the trigger is dangerous and must be
repaired.
TOOL
USE
AND
CARE
TOOL
SERVICE
Only use accessories that are identified
by the manufacturer for the specific tool
model.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow maintenance instructions may
create a risk of injury.
Only use the lubricants supplied with the
tool or specified by the manufacturer.
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel.
OPERATION
Do not drive fasteners near
edge of
the
workpiece.
The workpiece may split
causing the fastener or ricochet, potentially
injuring you or people around.
Do not carry the tool from place to place
holding the trigger.
Accidental discharge
could result. Choice of triggering method is
important. Check manual for triggering
options.
During normal use the tool will recoil
immediately after driving a fastener.
This
is a
normal function of the tool. Do not attempt
to prevent the recoil by holding the tool
against the workpiece. Restriction to the
recoil can result in a second fastener being
driven from the tool. Grip the handle firmly
and let the tool do the work. Failure to heed
this warning can result in serious personal
injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other
fasteners or with the tool at an overly
steep angl
may cause deflection of
e.
This
fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not actuate the tool unless you intend
to drive a fastener into the workpiece.
Always handle the tool with care:

Respect the tool as a working implement.
Never engage in horseplay.
Never pull the trigger unless nose
isdirected toward the workpiece.
Keep others a safe distance from the tool
while tool is in operation as accidental
actuation may occur,possibly causing
injury.

AIR
SUPPLY
AND
CONNECTIONS
The connector on the tool must not hold
p r e s s u r e w h e n a i r s u p p l y i s
disconnected.
If an incorrect 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.
Do not use any type of reactive gases,
including, but not limited to, oxygen and
combustible gases, as a power source.
Use filtered, lubricated, and regulated
compressed air only. Use of a reactive gas
instead of compressed air may cause the
tool to explode which will cause death or
serious personal injury.
O n l y u s e a p r e s s u r e - r e g u l a t e d
compressed air source to limit the air
pressure supplied to the tool.
The
regulated pressure must not exceed 100
psi. If the regulator fails, the pressure
delivered to the tool must not exceed 200
psi. The tool could explode which will cause
death or serious personal injury.
Always disconnect the air source:
Before unloading or making adjustments.
When maintaining the tool.
When clearing a jam.
When touching the safety yoke.
When tool is not in use.
When moving to a different work area.
