WARNING:
When using pneumatic tools, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
This tool was designed for installing ¾” tongue and groove hardwood flooring. We
strongly recommend that this tool not be modified and /or used for any application
other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to its
application,
do not
use the tool until you have written us and we have advised you.
1. SAFETY GLASSES
To prevent eye injuries, the tool operator and all persons in
the work area must wear approved safety glasses to ANSIZ87.1 specifications
with permanently attached, rigid side shields.
2. EAR PROTECTION
Wear ear protection to safeguard against possible hearing
loss.
3. DRESS SAFELY.
Protective gloves and non-skid footwear or safety shoes are
recommended while working with and operating this tool. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
4. USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED, COMPRESSED AIR
at 60 - 100 psi / 414 to
689 kPa / 4.14 to 6.89 bar
5. DO NOT CONNECT TOOL
to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi / 1379
kPa / 13.8 bar.
6. AIR HOSE
Only use hose that is rated for a minimum working pressure of 150
psi or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater. Check that
connections are tight..
7. NEVER USE OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE
, combustible gases or any other
bottled gas as a power source for this tool. Explosion and serious personal
injury could result.
8. COUPLINGS
Connect tool to air supply hose with a 1/4" NPT coupling that
removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnnected.
9. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY HOSE
before doing any disassem-
bly, maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work area, moving
the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.
10. EXTENSION CORDS:
Observe warnings that accompany air compressors
concerning the use of the correct gauge and insulation on extension cords used
out of doors.
11. NEVER USE A TOOL
that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or
requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened.
12. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS
. Never use a tool if safety, trigger, or spring
are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or
springs. Make daily inspections for the free movement of trigger and safety
mechanism.
13. REPLACEMENT PARTS
. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts
and fasteners recommended by us.
14. CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY BEFORE
loading fasteners to prevent
fasteners from firing during connection. The fastener driving mechanism
may cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply.
15. ALWAYS ASSUME THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS
. Keep it pointed
away from yourself and others at all times. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a
working implement.
16. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS
with the hammer face depressed. The tool may
unintentionally fire a fastener.
17. DO NOT DEPRESS THE HAMMER FACE
when not driving fasteners. Never
carry tool while touching the hammer face trigger mechanism; tool may fire an
unwanted fastener.
18. DON’T OVERREACH
. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across machines which are running.
19. GRIP TOOL FIRMLY
to maintain control while allowing the tool to recoil away
from the work surface as the fastener is driven.
20. DO NOT DRIVE STAPLES
on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at too steep
an angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury.
