NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and
face shields alone do not provide adequate
protection.
2. EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED
IN SOME ENVIRONMENTS
As the working condition may include expo-
sure to high noise levels which can lead to
hearing damage, the employer and user
should ensure that any necessary hearing
protection is provided and used by the oper-
ator and others in the work area.
3. DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EX-
CEPT AN AIR COMPRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on com-
pressed air. Do not operate the tool on any
other highpressure gas, combustible gases
(e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is
the danger of an explosion. For this reason,
absolutely do not use anything other than an
air compressor to operate the tool.

4. OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR
PRESSURE RANGE
The tool is designed to operate within an air
pressure range of 70 to 100 p.s.i. (5 to 7 bar).
The pressure should be adjusted to the type
of the work being fastened. The tool shall
never be operated when the operating pres-
sure exceeds 120 p.s.i. (8 bar).
Never connect the tool to air pressure which
potentially exceeds 200 p.s.i. (14 bar) as the
tool can burst.

5. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A
FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable
substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Vol-
atile fumes from these substances could be
drawn into the compressor and compressed
together with the air and this could result in
an explosion.
6. NEVER USE THE TOOL IN AN EXPLO-
SIVE ATMOSPHERE
Sparks from the tool may ignite atmospheric
gases, dust or other combustible materials.
7. DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold
pressure when air supply is disconnected. If
a wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain
charged with air after disconnecting and thus
will be able to drive a fastener even after the
air line is disconnected, possibly causing in-
jury.
8. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND
EMPTY THE MAGAZINE WHEN THE
TOOL IS NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the
tool and empty the magazine when operation
has been completed or suspended, when un-
attended, moving to a different work area, ad-
justing, disassembling, or repairing the tool,
and when clearing a jammed fastener.
