•
Do not fasten into a concrete base material less than
3 times as thick as the fastener penetration or into a
steel base material thinner than 1/8" (3 mm).
•
Never attempt to install a fastener in a cracked
or spalled area in concrete. Place fastener at least
3" (76 mm) away from a spalled area to prevent the
possibility of the fastener bending and striking an operator
or bystander.
•
Do not attempt to install fasteners in areas that
have been welded or cut with a torch as these
procedures may have caused local hardening of
the steel.
Do not fasten through a predrilled hole unless
•
proper guidance is provided.
•
If you decide not to make a fastening after the tool
has been loaded, you must always remove the
powder load first followed by the fastener.
•
Never attempt to override the safety features of
this tool.
Handling the Tool and Powder Loads
•
Never leave a loaded tool or the powder loads
unattended. Once the tool is loaded, make the fastening
immediately or unload the tool.
•
Always unload the tool before work breaks,
changing parts, cleaning or servicing, and
when storing.
•
To prevent accidental discharge of loads, never
carry the powder loads in the same container as the
fasteners or other hard objects.
•
Always store the powder loads in the containers
provided or in an enclosure provided for them. Never
intermix the various power levels. Keep them segregated in
clearly identified containers.
•
Powder loads should never be used in firearms. They
are normally more powerful than the cartridges supplied
with the firearms.
•
Powder‑actuated tools and powder loads should
always be stored under lock and key. Tools must be
unloaded when not in use.
Store the instruction manual, maintenance tools
•
and accessories supplied with the nailer in the case.
Tool Malfunction
•
In the event that a load fails to discharge after the
trigger is pulled, the tool must be kept depressed
against the work surface for a minimum of
30 seconds in case of a delayed load discharge. Then
carefully remove the entire load strip. and dispose of it in a
can of water or other nonflammable liquid. Never attempt
to force or pry a load out of a tool chamber.
•
Never discard unfired powder loads into a
trash container.
•
Do not attempt to unload or disassemble a jammed,
stuck or broken tool as improper handling may
cause it to discharge and strike operator and/or
bystander. A jammed tool must be pointed in a safe
4
direction at all times. Tag the tool and lock it up. Call your
D
WALT representative for proper assistance.

Additional Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
lead from lead‑based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically‑
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
•
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
