8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across
running machines or air hoses.
9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords and air hoses
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handle
must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times. Do not operate a tool if any
portion of the tool’s operating controls are inoperable, disconnected, altered or not working
properly.
10. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect air hose when adding nails, during maintenance, and
when not in use.
11. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the tool or machine work surface before attaching to an air source.
12. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is in the Off position when not in use and
before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your finger on the trigger, whether it is attached
to an air source or not. Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone whether it contains
fasteners or not.
13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you
are tired.
14. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and
any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the tool if any the trigger
does not operate properly.
15. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
16. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with this
tool.
17. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels if
taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgement or reflexes are impaired while
taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
18. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must be of the
proper size and type to supply the correct current to the compressor without heating up.
Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to the
tool. Check your air compressor’s manual for the appropriate size cord.
19. Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified
technician.
20. Compressed air only. Never use combustible gas as a power source.
21. Do not load nails with the trigger or safety depressed. Unintentional firing may
occur. Do not load nails when the air hose is connected to the tool. Always assume
that the tool contains fasteners.
