1. OPERATORS AND OTHERS IN WORK AREA MUST WEAR EYE PROTECTION (SAFETY
When operating the Nailer, always wear safety glasses with side sh ields, and make sure others
Safety glasses must conform to the requirements of American National Standards Institute,
The employer must enforce the use of safety glasses by the Nailer operator and others in work area.
Never us e reactive gases such as oxygen, combustible gases or any other bottled gas es as a
ammable
Distractions are able
(1) Stay alert. Focus on your work and use common sense when working with the Nailer. Do
not use the Nail er while tired, after having consumed drugs or alco hol, or while under the
(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing,
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a resu lt of being caught
– Disconnect the Nailer from the air source before making
adjustments, doing Nailer maintenance, clearing jams, touching the Rod, when not in use,
leaving work area, leaving the Nailer outside of the operator's supervision or control, handing
Never attempt to clear a jam or repair the Nailer unless you have disconnected air h ose from the
Nailer. The Nailer should never be left unat tended since people who are not familiar with the Nailer
(5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footin g and balance
enables better control of the Nailer in unexpected situations.
(6) Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the
applicable conditions.

WARNING
– Drive Nails into proper work surface only. Do not drive nail into other
nails. This is able to cause the fastener to be de fl ected and hit someone, or cause the Nailer to react
and result in a risk of injury to persons.
3. Nailer use and care
(1) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
Holding the work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.
(2) Do not force the Nailer. Use the correct Nailer for the application. The correct Nailer will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which the Nailer is designed.
(3) Never use Nailer which is defective or operating abnormally. If the Nailer appears to be operating
unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and
arrange for repairs by a metabo HPT authorized service center.
(4) Connect air hose before nail loading and check the followings.
Check for air leakage and abnormal noise.
Use of the Nailer in an abnormal condition may cause accidents or injuries. If any abnormality is
detected, ask your dealer or metabo HPT authorized service center for repair.
(5) Disconnect the Nailer from the air source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the Nailer.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the Nailer unintentionally.
(6) Store the Nailer when it is idle out of reach of children and other untrained persons. A Nailer
is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
(7) Maintain the Nailer with care. Keep the Nailer Clean and lubricated for better and safer
performance.
(8) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may aff ect the Nailer's operation.
If damaged, have the Nailer serviced before using. Because of high air pressure in the Nailer, cracks
in the surface are dangerous. To avoid this, do not drop the Nailer or strike the Nailer against hard
surfaces; and do not scratch or engrave signs on the Nailer. Many a ccidents are caused by poorly
maintained Nailers. There is a risk of bursting if the Nailer is damaged.
(9) Do not use the Nailer that is not in proper working order. Tags and physical segregation
shall be used for control.
(10)
Use only accessories that are identifi ed by metabo HPT for the specifi c Nailer. Use of an
accessory not intended for use with the specifi c Nailer, increases the risk of injury to persons.
(11)
Be aware of followings when connecting air hose.
Make sure there is no nail in the rod.
Otherwise, a nail may be shot mistakenly, which may result in injury.
Keep the nail outlet pointed downward a nd make sure to keep your body, hands and feet away from
the fi ring head.
Do no t place the rod tip on a table or fl oor.
(12)
Use dedicated nails.
Do no t use any other nails because they may result in injury or malfunction of this Nailer.
(13)
Load nail carefully.
When loading a na il in the rod, hold the nail shaft instead of the tip.
Otherwise, when the Nailer operates mistakenly and injuries as nailing a fi nger may result.
When loading a na il in the rod, make sure it does not press the tip of the driver unit.
If the nail is inserted to the rod excessively, it may press the tip of the driver unit. By this, the Nailer
may operate mistakenly, which may result in injury.
(14)
Be aware of followings when shooting nail holding with fi ngers.
Shoot the nail by placing the nail tip at a target fi rst, and then inserting the rod to the nail head.
If the nail tip is not placed fi rmly or the nail head is fi rstly inserted to the rod, injuries may result when
the nail bounces back or is shot mistakenly.
(15)
Avoid long time nailing operation.
Make sure to fi nish nailing in as short a time as possible. Also, avoid continuous operation and allow
adequate downtime between operations.
4. Service
(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualifi ed repair personnel.
(2) When servicing a Nailer, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
(3) Use only the lubricants supplied with the Nailer or speci fi ed by metabo HPT.
5. Air source
(1) Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm
2
) if
a regulator fails.
Over pressurizing the Nailer is able to result in bursting, abnormal
oper ation, breakage of the Nailer or serious injury to persons.
DO NOT EXCEED 100 psi (6.9 bar 7.0 kgf/cm
2
).
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or within the rated pressure range
as marked on the Nailer.
Always verify prior to using the Nailer that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure
or within the rated air-pressure range.
(2) Never use reactive gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, co mbustible gases or any bottled
gas as an air source for the Nailer. Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to
persons.

6. Others
(1) Be careful of hit by the Nailer due to spring back (“recoil”). After driving a nail, the Nailer may
recoil causing it to move away from the work surface.
To reduce risk of injury always manage recoil by:
1) always maintaining control of the Nailer.
2) allow ing recoil to move the Nailer away from work surface.
3) keeping face and body parts away from the Nailer.
(2) Never Use NON relieving coupler on Nailer. If a non relieving coupler is used on the Nailer, the
Nailer can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even
after disconnecting. The Nailer and air hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is
removed from the Nailer when the coupling joint is disconnected.
(3) Check Rod before use. Make sure the Rod operates properly, and is not inoperable, disconnected,
or altered. This is because a rod loaded with nails acts as a switch. Never use the Nailer unless the
Rod is operating properly, otherwise the Nailer could drive a fast ener unexpectedly. D o not tamper
with or remove the Rod, or otherwise cause the Rod to become inoperable.
(4) Keep all screws and socket tightly in place. Keep all screws and socket tightly mounted.
Check their condition periodically. Never use the Nailer if parts are missing or damaged.
(5) Do not load fasteners with Rod depressed. When loading fasteners into the Nailer or when
conn ecting the air hose,
1) do not depress the Rod;
2) keep the Nailer pointed downward.
(6) Keep hands and body away from fi ring head during use. Never place your hands or feet closer
than 8 inches (200 mm) from the fi ring head. A serious injury can result if the fasteners are defl ected
by the workpiece, or are driven away fr om the point of entry.
(7) When working close to an edge of a workpiece or at steep angles, or driving fasteners into
thin workpiece use care to minimize chipping, splitting or splinterin g, or free fl ight, ricochet
or piercing of fasteners, which may cause injury .
(8) Never drive fasteners from both sides of a wall at the same time. The fasteners can be driven
into and through the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.
(9) Use extra caution when driving the Nailer into existing walls or other blind areas to prevent
contact with hidden objects or persons on other side (eg., wires, pipes).
(10)
Check for live wires . Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock by checking for live electrical wires
that may be hidden by walls, fl oors or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch to ensure there are no live
wires.
(11)
Do not lift, pull or lower the Nailer by the hose.
(12)
Handle Nailer correctly. Operate the Nailer according to this Ma nual. Never allow the Nailer to be
operated by children, indiv iduals unfamiliar with its operation or unauthorized personne l.
(13)
Never use Nailer for applications other than those specifi ed in this manual.
(14)
Never modify or alter a Nailer. Doing so may cause it to malfunction and personal injuries may
result.
