This tool is exclusively designed for 1/16" (1.6 mm) to 1/8" (3.2 mm) thick light gage steel.
When using it, comply with the Work Standards, considering the object condition and work site environment.
q Select appropriate nails according to the object thickness,
seeing the right table.
※
The nails may not be driven into the object depending on its
hardness or thickness.
※
If the object is thinner than an appropriate range of thickness,
the nails may not be driven into it because of being bent.

WARNING:
Carry out work based on the required Work Standards.
If there is no specified work standard, refer the following as a reference.
Never use the nails for the ceilings (ceiling foundations included) or roofs (roof foundations
included).
Be sure to apply discharge outlet to an object at a right angle.
Do not drive the nails into the steel plate directly.
w If the thickness of the light gage steel foundations material used is 1/8" (3.2 mm),
use the .113" (
e Never drive the nails directly into the light gage steel because they will fly off,
endangering you.
r Be sure to apply the discharge outlet to the object at a right angle. If applied
obliquely, the nails will fly off, endangering you.
t Never use the nails for the roofs (roof foundations included) or ceilings (ceiling
foundations included).
y If the nails are driven into the steel plate too deeply, their holding force will be
extremely reduced. When working with the tool, fully check the driven conditions.
