SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Protection will be required in some
environments. For example, the working
area may include exposure to noise level
which can lead to hearing damage. The
employer and user must ensure that any
necessary hearing protection is provided
and used by the operator and others in
the work area. Some environments will
require the use of head protection
equipment. When required, the employer
and user must ensure that head
protection conforming to ANSI Z89.1 is
used.
1. EYE PROTECTION which conforms to
ANSI specifications and provides protection
against flying particles both from the FRONT
and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the
operator and others in the work area when
connecting to air supply, loading, operating
or servicing this tool. Eye protection is
required to guard against flying fasteners
and debris, which could cause severe eye
injury.
2. The employer and/or user must ensure
that proper eye protection is worn. Eye
protection equipment must conform to the
requirements of the American National
Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1 and provide
both frontal and side protection.
3. NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and
face shields alone do not provide adequate
protection.
4. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts.
5. Keep fingers away from trigger when not
driving fasteners to avoid accidental firing.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
7.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable
support. Stable footing on a solid surface
enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
8.
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in a risk of injury.
9.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of unauthorized
parts may create a risk of injury.
10.
Know your pneumatic tool. Read
operator's manual carefully. Learn its
applications and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards related to this
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
11.
Always wear safety glasses with side
shields. Everyday glasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They are NOT safety
glasses. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of eye injury.
12.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust
mask if the operation is dusty. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
13.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of
operation. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
14.
Make sure the hose is free of
obstructions or snags. Entangled or snarled
hoses can cause loss of balance or footing
and may become damaged.
15.
Use the tool only for its intended use.
Do not discharge fasteners into open air.
16.
Use the MENARDS pneumatic tool only
for the purpose for which it was designed.
17.
Use only the fasteners recommended
for this tool. Use of the wrong fasteners
could result in poor fastener feeding,
jammed fasteners, and nails leaving the tool
at erratic angles. If fasteners are not
feeding smoothly and properly, discontinue
their use immediately. Jammed and
