SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against
flyingparticles both fromthe FRONT and SIDE shouldALWAYSbe wornby the operator and
o
thers in the work area when connecting to air supply, loading, operating or servicing this
t
ool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could
cause severe eye injury.
T
he employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
equipment must conform to the requirements ofthe American National Standards Institute,
ANSI Z87.1 and provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded
spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
C
AUTION:
A
dditionalSafety Protectionwill be required in someenvironments.Forexample,
the working area may include exposure to noise level which can lead to hearing damage.
T
he employer and user must ensure that any necessary hearing protection isprovided and
used by the operator and others in the work area. Some environments will require the use
o
f head protection equipment.When required,the employerand usermust ensure that head
p
rotection conforming to ANSI Z89.1 is used.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as
tool may explode, possibly causing injury.
Do not use supply sources which can potentially exceed 200 P.S.I.G. as tool may burst,
possibly causing injury.
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a
wrong fitting is used,the tool can remain charged withair after disconnecting and thus will
be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is disconnected possibly causing injury.
Do not pull trigger or depress contact arm whileconnectedto the airsupply asthetool may
cycle,possibly causing injury.
Always disconnect air supply: 1.) Before making adjustments; 2.)When servicing the tool;
3.)When clearing ajam;4.)When tool is notinuse;5.)When moving toadifferentworkarea,
as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
LOADING TOOL
When loading tool: 1.) Never placea hand orany part ofbody in fastener discharge areaof
tool; 2.) Never point tool at anyone; 3.) Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip as
accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
OPERATION
Always handle the tool with care: 1.) Never engage in horseplay; 2.) Never pull the trigger
unless nose is directed toward the work; 3.) Keep others a safe distance from the tool while
toolis in operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact arm tools except during fastening
operation as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or
something, causing the tool to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact arm tool may
bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be
driven possibly causing injury.
Check operation ofthe contactarm mechanismfrequently. Do not usethe tool if thearm is
not working correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with
the proper operation of the contact arm mechanism.
Do not drive fasteners ontop of other fasteners orwith the tool at anoverly steepangle as
this may cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work piece as the wood may split, allowing
the fastener to be deflected possibly causing injury.
This nailer produces SPARKS during operation. NEVER use the nailer near flammable
substances, gases or vapors including lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, adhesives,
mastics,glues or anyother material thatis-- or thevapors,fumes or byproducts of which are--
flammable,combustible or explosive.Using the nailer in any such environment could cause an
EXPLOSION resultinginpersonalinjury ordeath touser andbystanders.
Never use rafter hook to hang tool from body,clothing or belt.
MAINTAININGTHE TOOL
When working on air tools note the warnings in this manual and use extra care when
evaluating problem tools.
