WARNING – When using tools, basic
precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
General
a. To reduce the risks of electric shock,
re, and injury to persons, read all the
instructions before using the tool.
Work area
a. Keep the work area clean and well
lighted. Cluttered benches and dark
areas increase the risks of electric
shock, re, and injury to persons.
b. Do not operate the tool in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of ammable liquids, gases, or dust.
The tool is able to create sparks resulting
in the ignition of the dust or fumes.
c. Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating the tool.
Distractions are able to result in the loss
of control of the tool.
Personal safety
a. Stay alert. Watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating the tool. Do not use the
tool while tired or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
the tool increases the risk of injury to
persons.
b. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair increases the risk
of injury to persons as a result of being
caught in moving parts.
c. Avoid unintentional starting. Be
sure the trigger is released before
connecting to the air supply. Do not
carry the tool with your nger on the
trigger or connect the tool to the air
supply with the trigger pressed.
d. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
e. Use safety equipment. A
dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes and a hard hat must be
used for the applicable
conditions. Wear heavy-duty work
gloves during use.
f. Always wear eye protection.
Wear ANSI-approved safety
goggles with side shields.
g. Always wear hearing
protection when using the
tool. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise is able to
cause hearing loss.
h. Do not attach the hose or tool to your
body. Attach the hose to the structure to
reduce the risk of loss of balance if the
hose shifts.
i. Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners. Do not point the tool toward
yourself or anyone whether it contains
fasteners or not.
j. WARNING – Do not re fastener on
top of another fastener. This is able to
cause the fastener to be deected and
hit someone, or cause the tool to react
and result in a risk of injury to persons.
k. WARNING – Remove nger from the
trigger when not driving fasteners.
