loss of balance or footing and may become
damaged, resulting in possible injury.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable supports.
Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or
snags.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
Do not attach the hose or tool to your body.
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.
Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in

disconnected.
Never place hands or any other body parts in
the fastener discharge area of the tool.
Never carry the tool by the air hose or pull
the hose to move the tool or a compressor.
Always assume the tool contains fasteners.

OPERATION
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material
.
The workpiece may split causing the fastener or
ricochet, injuring you or people around.
Do not carry the tool from place to place
holding the trigger. Accidental discharge
could result.
During normal use the tool will recoil
immediately after driving a fastener.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other
fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep
angle as this may cause deflection of
fasteners which could cause injury.
Choice of triggering method is
important. Check manual for triggering options.
This is a
normal function of the tool. Do not attempt to
prevent the recoil by holding the tool against the
work. 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 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 is directed
toward the work.
◆
Keep others a safe distance from the tool
