This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information
relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize
this information, we use the symbols below. Please read the manual and pay attention to these
symbols.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not avoided, may result in
property damage.
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.
protection equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National
Standards Institute, ANSI CAN/CSA Z94.3 and provide both frontal and side protection.
Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate
protection.
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 CAN/CSA Z89.1 is used.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
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. (14kg/cm 2 ) 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 or depress contact arm 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.
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 trigger or depress the trip as
accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
