be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
READ
ALL
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
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 with permanently
attached, rigid side shields.
2.
EAR PROTECTION
Wear ear protection to safeguard against possible
hearing loss.
3.
USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED, COMPRESSED AIR
at 60-100 psi / 413 to
690 kPa / 4.13 to 6.9 bar.
4.
DO NOT CONNECT TOOL
to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi /
1379 kPa / 13.8 bar.
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
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.
8.
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY
hose before doing any
disassembly, maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work
area, moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.
9.
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.
10.
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.
11.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
. When servicing, use only identical Superior
replacement parts and fasteners recommended by us.
12.
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.
13.
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.
14.
DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS
with trigger or safety depressed. The tool may
unintentionally fire a fastener.
15.
DO NOT DEPRESS THE TRIGGER
when not driving fasteners. Never carry
tool with finger on trigger mechanism: tool may fire an unwanted fastener.
16.
DON’T OVERREACH
. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across machines which are running.
17.
FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY:
never into materials too
hard to penetrate
18
GRIP TOOL FIRMLY
to maintain control while allowing the tool to recoil away
from the work surface as the fastener is driven. If the safety is allowed to
recontact the work surface before the trigger is released, an unwanted fastener
will be fired.
19
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.
