12.Disconnect tool from air supply hose before doing tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person. Fig. 7.

13.Never use a tool that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened. Fig. 8.

14.Never use tool if safety, trigger or springs are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and safety mechanism. Fig. 8.

16.Only use parts, fasteners and accessories approved by Porter-Cable.

from being fired during connection. The tool

 

driving mechanism may cycle when tool is

 

connected to the air supply. Fig. 10.

 

18.Always assume the tool contains fasteners. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a working implement. Fig. 11.

19.Operator and bystanders wear hard hat to safeguard against possible injuries. Fig.

20.Do not load fasteners with trigger or safety depressed, to prevent unintentional firing of a fastener. Fig. 13

21.Remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger on trigger. In “Contact Actuation Mode” tool will fire a fastener if safety is bumped while trigger is depressed. Fig. 14.
