<yHUSKY.
@ Do not use on a ladder or unstable supports.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
@ Make sure the hose is free of obstructions
or snags.
Entangled
or snarled
hoses
can
cause
loss of balance or footing and may
become damaged, resulting in possible injury.
@ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance
at all times.
Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
@ 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.
@ Always
assume
that
the
tool
contains
fasteners. Do not point the tool toward yourself
or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not.
@ Wash
hands after handling. This product or
its power cord may contain chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
TOOL USE AND CARE
@ Know this tool. Read manual carefully, learn
its applications and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards related to this tool.
@ Use only fasteners that are recommended
for your
models.
Do not use the wrong
fasteners or load the fasteners incorrectly.
@ Check
for
misalignment
or
binding
of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused
by
poorly maintained tools.
@ Maintain tools with care. Keep tool clean. A
properly maintained
tool, reduces the risk of
binding and is easier to control.
@ Store tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained people. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
@ Check operation of the tool before use. Do
not
use
the
tool
if the
workpiece
contact
mechanism
is
not
working
correctly
as
accidental driving of a fastener may occur.
@ Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate
properly. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the trigger is dangerous and must be
repaired.
@ Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
@ Use clamps or another practical way to
Secure
and
support
the workpiece
to a
stable platform. Holding a tool by hand or
against the body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
O Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline,
petroleum-based
products,
or any
strong solvents to clean your tool.
O Do not use the tool as a hammer.
O Never use this tool in a manner that could
cause
a fastener
to be directed
toward
anything other than the workpiece.
O Never
use
gasoline
or
other
flammable
liquids to clean the tool. Never use the tool in
the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
Vapors could ignite by a spark and cause an
explosion which will result in death or serious
personal injury.
@ Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise
cause the trigger lock or trigger to become
inoperable. Do not operate any tool which has
been
modified
in a like fashion.
Death
or
serious personal injury could result.
O Do
not touch
the trigger
unless
driving
fasteners. Never attach air line to tool or carry
tool while touching the trigger. The tool could
eject a fastener which will result in death or
serious personal injury. Also actuate the trigger
lock to the safe position when not in use.
O Always
fit tool
with
a fitting
or
hose
coupling
on
or near
the tool
in such
a
manner that all compressed air in the tool is
discharged at the time the fitting or hose
coupling is disconnected. Do not use a check
valve or any other fitting which allows air to
remain in the tool. Death or serious personal
injury could occur.
O Never place hands or any other body parts
in the fastener discharge area of the tool.
The tool might eject a fastener and could result
in death or serious personal injury.
O Never carry the tool by the air hose or pull
the hose to move the tool or a compressor.
Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
Replace any hose that is damaged,
weak or worn. Personal injury or tool damage
could occur.
O Always assume the tool contains fasteners.
Respect the tool as a working implement; no
horseplay.
O Always keep others at a safe distance from
the
work
area
in
case
of
accidental
discharge of fasteners. Do not point the tool
toward yourself or anyone whether it contains
04
<yHUSKY
fasteners or not. Accidental triggering of the tool
could result in death or serious personal injury.
@ 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 using the tool when the magazine is
empty.
Accelerated
wear
on
the tool may
occur.
@ Clean and check all air supply hoses and
fittings before connecting the tool to an air
supply. Replace any damaged or worn hoses
or fittings. Tool performance or durability may
be reduced.
@ Do not use the tool if it leaks air or does not
function properly.
@ Do not operate the tool if it does not contain
a legible warning label.
@ Always carry the tool by the handle. Never
carry the tool by the air hose.
TOOL SERVICE
@ Use only accessories that are identified by
the manufacturer for the specific tool model.
O Use
of unauthorized
parts
or failure
to
follow maintenance instructions may create
a risk of injury.
@ Use only the lubricants supplied with the
tool or specified by the manufacturer.
O Tool service must
be performed
only by
qualified repair personnel.
OPERATION
O Do not drive fasteners near edge of material.
The workpiece may split causing the fastener or
ricochet, injuring you or people around.
O Do not carry the tool from place to place
holding the trigger. Accidental
discharge
could result. Choice of triggering method
is
important. Check manual for triggering options.
O During
normal
use
the
tool
will
recoil
immediately after driving a fastener. This is
a normal function of the tool. Do not attempt to
prevent the recoil by holding the tool against the
work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a
second fastener being driven from the tool. Grip
the handle firmly and let the tool do the work.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal 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.
O Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to
drive a fastener into the workpiece.
O Always handle the tool with care:
Respect the tool as a working implement.
@ Never engage in horseplay.
4 Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed
toward the work.
Keep others a safe distance from the tool
while tool is in operation as accidental
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
O The connector on the tool must not hold
pressure when air supply is disconnected. If
an incorrect 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
use
any type
of reactive
gases,
including, but not limited to, oxygen
and
combustible gases, as a power source. Use
filtered, lubricated,
regulated compressed
air
only.
Use
of a reactive
gas
instead
of
compressed air may cause the tool to explode
which
will cause
death
or serious
personal
injury.
O Use only a pressure-regulated compressed
air source to limit the air pressure supplied
to the tool. The regulated pressure must not
exceed
100
psi. If the
regulator
fails, the
pressure delivered to the tool must not exceed
200 psi. The tool could explode which will cause
death or serious personal injury.
O Always disconnect air resource:
+ Before unloading or making adjustments.
@ When maintaining the tool.
@ When clearing a jam.
% When touching the safety yoke.
@ When tool is not in use.
@ When moving to a different work area.
Such precautionary measures
reduce the risk of
injury to persons.
LOADING TOOL
O Do not load the tool with fasteners when
any
one
of
the
operating
controls
is
activated.
O Never place a hand or any part of body in
fastener discharge area of tool.
O Never point tool at anyone.
@ Do
not
pull the
trigger
or
depress
the
workpiece contact as accidental actuation
may occur, possibly causing injury.
