Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger, or contact trip to become
inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip in the on position. Do not remove
spring from contact trip. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and contact
trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
Make sure hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses can cause
loss of balance or footing. Do not lift, pull or lower tool by the hose.
Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge fasteners into open air, concrete,
stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any material too hard for the fastener to penetrate.
Do not use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer. Discharged fasteners may follow
unexpected path and cause injury.
Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be sure the work surface is clear of any
debris and be careful not to lose footing when working in elevated environments such as
rooftops.
Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as
fastener is driven. In “Contact Actuation Mode” if contact trip is allowed to recontact work
surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will be fired.
Check operation of the contact arm mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if the arm
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 on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep angle
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, thinner, gasoline, adhesives,
mastics, glues or any other material that is -- or the vapors, fumes or byproducts of which
are -- flammable, combustible or explosive. Using the nailer in any such environment could
cause an EXPLOSION resulting in personal injury or death to user and bystanders.
Never use rafter hook to hang tool from body, clothing or belt.
Always verify and be aware of tool operating mode by inspecting the trigger before
connecting to an air supply and/or using the tool.
MAINTAINING THE TOOL
When working on air tools note the warnings in this manual and use extra care when
