Vibration Precautions
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to
ensure medical problems are not being caused or
worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who
have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past
hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes,
or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.
If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such
as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain tool as explained
in this manual. If abnormal vibration occurs,
stop immediately.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Safety Nosepiece: Also called the workpiece contact,
the Safety Nosepiece helps prevent the tool from
firing unless it is pressed against an object.
Depth Knob: This controls the depth that fasteners
penetrate. Most applications call for the fastener heads
to be flush with the surface or slightly sunken.
Turn the knob left to fire nails deeper.
Turn the knob right to fire nails shallower.
