8. Make sure no one is nearby before nailing. Never
attempt to nail from both the inside and outside at
the same time. Nails may rip through and/or fly off,
presenting high risk to safety.
9. Watch your footing and maintain your balance with
the tool. Make sure there is no one below when working
in high locations, and secure the air hose to prevent
danger if there is sudden jerking or catching.
10. On rooftops and other high locations, nail as you
move forward. It is easy to lose your footing if you
nail while leaning backward. When nailing against
perpendicular surface, nail from the top to the bottom.
You can perform nailing operations with less fatigue
by doing so.
11. Place the nails with care. A nail will be bent or the tool
can become jammed if you mistakenly nail on top of
another nail or strike a knot in the wood. The nail may
be thrown and hit someone, or the tool itself can react
dangerously.
12. Do not leave the loaded tool or the air compressor
under pressure for a long time out in the sun. Be
sure that dust, sand, chips and foreign matter will not
enter the tool in the place where you leave it setting.
13. Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the
vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the ejection
port area.
14. Accidental firing can be extremely dangerous.
When the air hose is connected, do not carry the tool
with your finger on the trigger or hand it to someone in
this condition.
15. Handle the tool carefully. As there is high pressure
inside the tool that can be dangerous if a crack is
caused by rough handling (dropping or striking). Do not
attempt to carve or engrave on the tool.
16. Stop nailing operations immediately. If you notice
something wrong or out of the ordinary with the tool.
17. Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a
legible WARNING LABEL.
18. Never hang the tool on a waist belt or the like.
Dangerous accidental firing may result.
19. Handle nails and their box carefully. If the nails have
been handled roughly, they may be out of shape or their
connector breaks, causing poor nail feed.
20. Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place
exposed to direct sunlight.
