17.Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check that there are no damaged parts. If a part is slightly damaged, carefully determine if it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, proper mounting and any other conditions that may affect the operation of the tool. A part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service facility, unless otherwise indicated in this Instruction Manual.
Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised service facility. Do not use a tool if the switch does not turn the tool on and off correctly.
18.Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerator enclosures.
19.Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service facility to fit replacement parts.
20.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.
21.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.
22.Operator and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields.
Additional safety rules for framing gun nailers
1.Do not play with the contact element. It prevents accidental discharge, so it must be kept on and not removed. Securing the trigger in the ON position is also very dangerous. Never attempt to fasten the trigger. Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool operating controls is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly.
2.Operate the tool within the specified air pressure of 0.5 - 0.8 MPa (75 – 120 PSI) for safety and longer tool life. Do not exceed the recommended max. operating pressure of 0.8 MPa (120 PSI). The tool should not
be connected to a source whose pressure potentially exceeds 1.37 MPa (200 PSI).
3.Never use the tool with other than compressed air. If bottled gas (carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, air, etc.) or combustible gas (hydrogen, propane, acetylene, etc.) is used as an air source for this tool, the tool will explode and cause serious injury.
4.Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose screws before operation. Tighten as required.
5.Make sure all safety systems are in working order before operation. The tool must not operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only the contact safety mechanism is pressed against the wood. It must work only when both actions are performed. Test for possible faulty operation with nails unloaded.
6.Check working environment. Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the like carefully to avoid possible electrical shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by striking live wires, conduits or gas pipes.
7.Use only nails specified in this manual. The use of any other nails may cause malfunction of the tool and will not be covered under warranty.
