splitting or splintering, or free flight or ricochet of
fasteners, which may cause injury.
•
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 load tool with fasteners when any one of
the operating controls is activated.
•
Use extra caution when driving fasteners into
existing walls or other blind areas to prevent
contact with hidden objects or persons on other
side (e.g., wires, pipes.)
•
The operator must not pull the trigger except
during fastening operation as serious injury could
result if the tool accidentally contacts someone or
something, causing the tool to cycle.
•
Keep hands and body away from the discharge
area of the tool. The tool may bounce from the
recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted
second fastener may be driven possibly
causing injury.
•
Check operation of the trigger mechanism
frequently. Do not use the tool if the trigger is not
working correctly as accidental driving of a fastener
may result. Do not interfere with the proper
operation of the trigger mechanism.
•
Never inadvertently pull or grasp the trigger when
moving about, changing work location, when
holstering or hanging tool, or when preparing work
surface for fastening operation.
•
This tool produces SPARKS during operation.
NEVER use the tool 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 fastenerer in any such
environment could cause an EXPLOSION resulting
in personal injury or death to user and bystanders.
Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other
work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result
in injury.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: After driving a fastener, tool may
bounce back ("recoil") causing it to move away
from the work surface. To reduce risk of injury
always manage recoil by:
•
Always maintaining control of tool.
•
Allowing recoil to move tool away from
work surface.
•
Not resisting recoil such that tool will be forced
back into the work surface. In "Contact Actuation
Mode, " if workpiece contact is allowed to re‑contact
work surface before the trigger is released, an
unintended discharge of a fastener will occur.
•
Keeping face and body parts away from tool.
WARNING: Disconnect tool:
•
When not in use,
•
When performing any maintenance or repairs,
•
When clearing a jam,
•
When elevating, lowering or otherwise moving tool
to a new location,
•
When tool is outside of the operator's supervision
or control,
•
When removing fasteners from the magazine.
WARNING: When maintaining the tool:
•
Always shut off air supply, and disconnect tool from
air supply when not in use.
•
When working on air tools note the warnings in
this manual and use extra care when evaluating
problem tools.
