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 connecting to air supply, 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 and provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded
spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
CAUTION: Additional Safety Protection will be required in some environments. 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 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. 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 injury.
Do not pull trigger while connected to the air supply as the tool may cycle, possibly causing
injury.
Always disconnect air supply: 1.) Before making adjustments; 2.) When servicing the tool;
3.) When clearing a jam; 4.) When tool is not in use; 5.) When moving to a different work area,
as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury; 6.) Before placing tool on any
surface, hanging tool on belt, or otherwise temporarily supsending use of the tool.
LOADING TOOL
When loading tool: 1.) Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of
tool; 2.) Never point tool at anyone; 3.) Do not pull the secondary trigger as accidental
actuation may occury, possibly casuing injury.
OPERATION
Always handle the tool with care: 1.) Never engage in horseplay; 2.) Never pull or grasp the
secondary trigger unless nose is directed toward the work; 3.) Keep others a safe distance
from the tool while tool is in operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing
injury.
The operator must not hold the secondary trigger pulled except during fastening operation
as serious injury could result if the trigger accidentally contacts someone or something,
causing the tool to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool.
Check operation of the secondary trigger mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if the
secondary trigger is not working correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may result. Do
not interfere with the proper operation of the secondary trigger mechanism.
Never inadvertently pull or grasp the secondary trigger when moving about, changing work
location, when holstering or hanging tool, or when preparing work surface for fastening
operation.
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.
This nailer produces SPARKS during operation. NEVER use the nailer near flammable
substances, gases or vapors including lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, adhesives,
mastics, glues or any other material that is -- or the vapors, fumes or byproducts of which are --
flammable, combustible or explosive. Using the nailer in any such environment could cause an
EXPLOSION resulting in personal injury or death to user and bystanders.
