Campbell Hausfeld CHN71600 Staple Gun User Manual


 
TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which the tool is designed.
Disconnect the tool from the air source before
making adjustments, doing tool maintenance,
clearing jams, leaving work area, loading, or unloading the tool. Such
precautionary measures reduce the risk of injury to persons.
b. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. A tool is dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
c. Maintain the tool with care. A properly maintained tool
reduces the risk of problems and is easier to control.
d. Use only those fasteners listed in the “Fastener Interchange
Information” section on page 12 of this manual. Fasteners
not identified for use with this tool by the tool manufacturer
are able to result in a risk of injury to persons or tool damage
when used in this tool.
e. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Wear OSHA-
approved dust mask.
Always disconnect the tool from the power
source when unattended, performing any
maintenance or repair, clearing a jam, loading, unloading , or moving
the tool to a new location.
Always fit tool with a fitting or hose coupling
on or near the tool in such a manner that all
compressed air in the tool is discharged at the time the fitting or hose
coupling is disconnected. Do not use a check valve or any other fitting
which allows air to remain in the tool. Death or serious personal
injury could occur.
Never carry the tool by the air hose or pull
the hose to move the tool or a compressor. Keep
hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace any hose that is
damaged, weak or worn. Personal injury or tool damage could occur.
Do not drive a fastener on top of other fastener.
The fastener could glance and cause death or a
serious puncture wound.
f. This tool must NOT be modified or used for any application
other than that for which it was designed.
g. Do not remove any labels from the tool.
h. Do not modify or alter the tool or any tool parts. Do not use
the tool if any shields or guards are removed or altered. Do
not use the tool as a hammer. Personal injury or tool damage
may occur.
Do not use any type of flammable gases or
oxygen as a power source for the tool.
Use filtered, lubricated, regulated compressed air only. Use of a
compressed gas instead of compressed air may cause the tool to
explode which will cause death or serious personal injury.
Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids
to clean the tool. Never use the tool in the
presence of flammable liquids or gases. Vapors could ignite by a spark
and cause an explosion which will result in death or serious personal
injury.
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 influence 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. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
d. Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes
and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions.
Ensuring that the tool is used
only when the operator and all
other personnel in the work area are wearing ANSI Z87
eye protection equipment, and when required, other
appropriate protection equipment such as head, hearing
and foot protection equipment. Serious eye or permanent hearing
loss could result.
e. Always wear hearing protection when using the
tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
is able to cause hearing loss.
f. 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.
g. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
Do not drop or throw the tool. Dropping
or throwing the tool can result in damage that
will make the tool unusable or unsafe. If the tool has been dropped
or thrown, examine the tool closely for bent, cracked or broken parts
and air leaks. STOP and repair before using or serious injury could
occur.
Avoid long extended periods of work with the
tool. Stop using the tool if you feel pain in
hands or arms.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surface when
performing an operation where the tool or
fastener may contact hidden wiring. Contacting a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Never place hands or any other
body part in the fastener discharge
area of the tool. The tool might eject a fastener and could
result in death or serious personal injury.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The front end of the tool may be
made “live” if the tool comes
into contact with live wiring in the wall. TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK, HOLD TOOL ONLY
BY THE SOFT GRIP HANDLE.
