SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Know your pneumatic tool. Read operator’s manual

carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well

as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,

fire, or serious injury.

Always wear safety glasses with side shields.

Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They

are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce

the risk of eye injury.

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the

operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk

of serious personal injury.

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during

extended periods of operation. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.

Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or

footing and may become damaged.

Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge

fasteners into open air.

Use the pneumatic tool only for the purpose for which

it was designed.

Use only the fasteners recommended for this tool.

Use of the wrong fasteners could result in poor fastener

feeding, jammed fasteners, and fasteners leaving the tool

at erratic angles. If fasteners are not feeding smoothly

and properly, discontinue their use immediately. Jammed

and improperly feeding fasteners could result in serious

personal injury.

Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a

fastener to be directed toward anything other than

the workpiece.

Do not use the tool as a hammer.

Always carry the tool by the handle. Never carry the

tool by the air hose.

Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design

or function without approval from the manufacturer.

Always be aware that misuse and improper handling

of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.

Never clamp or tape the trigger or workpiece contact

in an actuated position.

Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose

attached.

Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible

warning label.

Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air or does

not function properly.

OPERATION

Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.

Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the

trigger. Accidental discharge could result.

Always handle the tool with care:

 Respect the tool as a working implement.

operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly

causing injury.

Choice of triggering method is important. Check

manual for triggering options.

Pneumatic tools are designed for single-hand use.

Do not hold the tool by the front of the magazine. Do not

put hands, head, or other parts of your body near the

bottom of the magazine where the fastener exits the tool,

as serious personal injury could result.

Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone

whether it contains fasteners or not.

Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a

fastener into the workpiece.

Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully

positioned above the workpiece. Positioning the

workpiece contact only partially above the workpiece

could cause the fastener to miss the workpiece completely

and result in serious personal injury.

Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The

workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,

injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the fastener

may follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude

unexpectedly from the side of the work material.

Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work

area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to

keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure

the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the

fastener against the material. The workpiece contact may

cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.

Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool

cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil

can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing

into hard or dense material.

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 fastener against the work. Restriction to the recoil can

result in a second fastener being driven from the fastener.

Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work and do not

place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any

time. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious

personal injury.
