8. Inspect screw tightness.
Loose or improperly installed screws or bolts cause accidents and tool damage when the tool is put into
operation. Inspect to confirm that all screws and bolts are tight and properly installed prior to operating
the tool.
9. Do not touch the trigger unless you intend to drive a fastener.
Whenever the air supply is connected to the tool, never touch the trigger unless you intend to drive a
fastener into the work. It is dangerous to walk around carrying the tool with the trigger pulled, and this
and similar actions should be avoided.
10. Never point the discharge outlet toward yourself and other personnel.
If the discharge outlet is pointed toward people, serious accidents may be caused when misfiring. Be
sure the discharge outlet is not pointed toward people whan connecting and disconnecting the hose,
loading and not loading the fasteners or similar operations.
11. Use specified fasteners.
The use of fasteners other than specified other than specified fasteners will cause the tool malfunction.
Be sure to use only specified fasteners when operating the tool.
12. Place the discharge outlet to the work properly.
Failure to place the discharge outlet of the nose in a proper manner can result in a fastener flying up
and is extremely dangerous.
13. Keep hands and body away from the discharge outlet.
When loading and using the tool, never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of
the tool. It is very dangerous to hit the hands or body by mistake.
14. Do not drive fasteners close to the edge and corner of the work and thin mate rial.
The workpiece is likely to split and the fastener could fly free and hit someone.
15. Do not drive fasteners on the top of other fasteners.
Driving fasteners of the top of other fasteners may cause deflection fasteners which could cause injury.
16. Removing the fasteners after completing operation.
If fasteners are left in the magazine after the completion of operation, there is the danger of a serious
accident occurring prior to the resumption of operation, should the tool be handled carelessy, or when
connecting the air fitting. For this reason, always remove all fasteners remaining in the magazine after
completion of the operation.
17. Check operation of the contact trip mechanism frequently in case of using a contact trip type
tool.
Do not use the tool if the trip is not working correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may result.
Do not interfere with the proper operation of the contact trip mechanism.
18. When using the tool outside or elevated place.
When fastening roofs or similar slanted surface, start fastening at the lower part and gradually work
your way up. Fastening backward is dangerous as you may loose your foot place.
Secure the hose at a point close to the area you are going to drive fasteners. Accidents may be cau-
sed due to the hose being pulled inadvertently or getting caught.
19. Never use the tool if any portion of the tool controls (e.g., trigger, contct arm) is inoperabl
disconnected, altered or not woking properly.
