Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Important Safety Information (Continued)
PersoNal saFety
a. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating the
tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
b. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being
caught in moving parts.
c. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
d. Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes
and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions.
Ensuring that the tool is used
only when the operator and all
other personnel in the work area are wearing ANSI Z87
eye protection equipment, and when required, other
appropriate protection equipment such as head, hearing
and foot protection equipment. Serious eye or permanent hearing
loss could result.
e. Always wear hearing protection when using the
tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
is able to cause hearing loss.
f. Do not attach the hose or tool to your body.
Attach the hose to the structure to reduce the risk of loss of
balance if the hose shifts.
g. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
Do not drop or throw the tool. Dropping
or throwing the tool can result in damage that
will make the tool unusable or unsafe. If the tool has been dropped
or thrown, examine the tool closely for bent, cracked or broken parts
and air leaks. STOP and repair before using or serious injury could
occur.
Avoid long extended periods of work with the
nailer. Stop using the nailer if you feel pain in
hands or arms.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surface when
performing an operation where the tool or
fastener may contact hidden wiring. Contacting a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

h. Never look directly into
the laser beam or its
direct reflection. Lasers
are harmful to the eyes.
i. Do not set up the tool
at eye level or operate
the tool on or near a
reflective surface. The

projected into your own or
someone else's eyes.
Never place hands or any other
body parts in the nail discharge area
of the nailer. The nailer might eject a fastener and could
result in death or serious personal injury.

Replace batteries only with same
size batteries. Do not mix old and
new batteries. Using wrong size batteries can create a risk
of fire or injury.

tool use aNd Care
a. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which the tool is designed.
Disconnect the tool from the air source before
making adjustments, doing tool maintenance,
clearing jams, touching the safety yoke, leaving work area, loading,
or unloading the tool. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of
injury to persons.
b. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. A tool is dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
c. Maintain the tool with care. A properly maintained tool
reduces the risk of problems and is easier to control.
d. Use only those fasteners listed in the "Fastener Interchange
Information" section on page 12 of this manual. Fasteners
not identified for use with this tool by the tool manufacturer
are able to result in a risk of injury to persons or tool damage
when used in this tool.
