DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND EMPTY THE MAGAZINE
WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool and empty the
magazine when operation has been completed or suspended,
when unattended, moving to a different work area, adjusting, dis-
assembling, or repairing the tool, and when clearing a jammed
fastener.
FITTINGS:
Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing
and which will release air pressure from the tool when discon-
nected from the supply source.
HOSES:
Hose has a min. ID of 1/4
″
(6 mm) and max. length of
no more than 17
″
(5 meters).
The supply hose should contain a fitting that will provide “quick
disconnecting” from the male plug on the tool.
SUPPLY SOURCE:
Use only clean regulated compressed air as
a power source for the tool.
3-PIECE AIRSET
(Air filter, Regulator, Oiler)
:
Refer to TOOL SPECIFICATIONS for setting the correct operat-
ing pressure for the tool.
NOTE:
A filter will help to get the best performance and minimum wear
from the tool because dirt and water in the air supply are major
causes of wear in the tool.
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for the best
performance. Oil added thru the air line connection will lubricate
the internal parts.

OPERATION
Wear safety glasses or goggles danger to the eyes always exists
due to the possibility of dust being blown up by the exhausted air
or of a fastener flying up due to the improper handling of the tool.
For these reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall always be
worn when operating the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection
is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to the require-
ments 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.
The employer is responsible to enforce the use of eye protection
equipment by the tool operator and all other personnel in the work
area.
NOTE:
Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do
not provide adequate protection.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge outlet when driv-
ing the fasteners because of dangerous of hitting the hands or
body by mistake.
