SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 loading, operating or servicing
this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris,
which could cause severe eye injury.
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 Z87.1-1989 and provide both frontal and side protection.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide ade-
quate protection.
CAUTION: ADDITIONAL SAFETY PROTECTION will be required in some environ-
ments. 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 1986 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.
Always disconnect air supply: 1.) When servicing the tool; 2.) When tool is not in
use; 3.) When moving to a different work area, as accidental actuation may occur,
possibly causing injury.
OPERATION
Always handle the tool with care: • Never engage in horseplay; • Never pull the
trigger unless nose is directed toward the work; • Keep others a safe distance
from the tool while tool is in operation as accidental actuation may occur, possi-
bly causing injury. Never point tool at anyone.
Keep hands and body away from the nail driving area of the tool.
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.
MAINTAINING THE TOOL
When working on air tools note the warnings in this manual and use extra care
when evaluating problem tools.
