• Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation
material, or dust which could harm operator's
eyes. Operator and others in work area MUST
wear safety glasses with side shields. These safety
glasses must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements
(approved glasses have "Z87" printed or stamped on
them). It is the employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of eye protection equipment by the tool

• Use only clean, dry, regulated air. Conden sation
from an air compressor can rust and damage the
internal workings of the tool. (Fig. B)
• Regulate air pressure. Use air pressure compatible
with ratings on the nameplate of the tool. [Not to
exceed 120 psi (8.3 bar).] Do not connect the tool to a
compressor rated at over 175 psi. The tool operating
pressure must never exceed 175 psi even in the
event of regulator failure. (Fig. C)
• Only use an air hose that is rated for a maximum
working pressure of at least 150 psi (10.3 bar)
or 150% of the maximum system pressure,
whichever is greater. (Fig. D)
