Additional Safety Instructions for Nailers/
Staplers
1. HAND INJURIES: Do not place
your hands near the nail/staple point
of entry. A nail/staple can deflect
and tear through the surface of the
workpiece, puncturing your hand or
fingers.
2. COMBUSTIBLE GASES: Never con-
nect the nailer/stapler to pressurized
oxygen or other combustible gases
as an air source. Only use filtered,
lubricated, and regulated compressed
air.
3. SAFE HANDLING: Never point the
nailer/stapler at others! Do not keep
the trigger pulled when loading fas-
teners, carrying, or holding tool. Carry
the tool only by the handle, never by
any other part. Do not carry the tool
by the air hose. Disconnect the nailer/
stapler from the air hose when going
up and down ladders.
4. MODIFICATIONS: DO NOT modify
this tool or bypass the safety nose
mechanism.
5. COMPRESSED AIR RATING: Do
not connect the nailer/stapler to com-
pressed air that exceeds 120 PSI.
6. HOSE USAGE: Make sure your air
hose is designed for the tool in use, is
in good condition, and is long enough
to reach your work without stretching.
However, an overly long air hose in
the work area may be a tripping haz-
ard.
7. OPERATING QUESTIONS: If you
are not sure about the intended oper-
ation, stop using the nailer/stapler.
Seek formal training.
8. CLEANING: Never use gasoline or
other flammable liquids to clean the
nailer; vapors in the nailer/stapler
will ignite by a spark and cause it to
explode.
9. MAINTENANCE: Always disconnect
air from the nailer/stapler when ser-
vicing or installing nails. During main-
tenance, a nailer/stapler connected
to air may fire accidentally, causing
serious personal injury.
4. CHECK VALVE: Do not use a check
valve or any other fitting that allows
air to remain in the tool after it is dis-
connected from the air source.
