SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing
into hard or dense material.
 Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a
fastener to be directed toward anything other than
the workpiece.
 Do no t use t he t o o l as a hamme r.
 Al ways carry t he t o o l by t he handl e . Never carry the
tool by the air hose.
 Do no t al t e r o r mo dify t his t o o l fro m t he o riginal de sign
or function without approval from the manufacturer.

in an actuated position.
 Never leave a tool unattended with the battery
installed.
 Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible
warning label.
 Do no t co nt inue t o use a t o o l t hat do e s no t funct io n

OPERATION
 Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate properly.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the trigger is
dangerous and must be repaired.
 Check operation of the workpiece contact mechanism
frequently. Do not use the tool if the workpiece contact
mechanism is not working correctly as accidental driving
of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper
operation of the workpiece contact mechanism.
 Use only fasteners that are recommended for your
model.
 Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
 Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the
trigger. Accidental discharge could result.
 Always handle the tool with care:
• Respect the tool as a working implement.
• 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, possibly
causing injury.
 Choice of triggering method is important. Check
manual for triggering options.
 Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
 Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a
fastener into the workpiece.
 keep fingers away from trigger when not driving
fasteners to avoid accidental firing.
 During normal use the tool will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the
tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the
nailer against the work. Restriction to the recoil can result
in a second fastener being driven from the nailer. Grip
the handle firmly and let the tool do the work. Failure to
heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
 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 near edge of material. The
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,
injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail may
follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude
unexpectedly from the side of the work material.

LOADING TOOL

 Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of
the operating controls is activated.
When loading tool:
 Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener
discharge area of tool.
 Never point tool at anyone.
 Do not pull the trigger or depress the workpiece
contact as accidental actuation may occur, possibly
causing injury.
