Safety Instructions For Power Tools

13.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubri- cating and changing accessories.

14.DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

15.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi- tion before plugging in.

16.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recom- mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

17.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function-check for alignment of moving parts, binding of mov- ing parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. Damaged parts should be prop- erly repaired or replaced immediately.

18.DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rota- tion of the blade or cutter only.

19.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT- TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

1.Make sure the safety nose is functioning properly before loading fasteners.

2.Make sure the magazine spring is set before operating.

3.ALWAYS point nailer away from yourself and others when loading or operating.

4.DO NOT carry nailer with your finger on the trigger. Nailer will fire if safety nose is accidentally depressed.

5.DO NOT place your free hand or feet near the nailer tip to support the work. If you cannot safely support the work without placing body parts near the nailer tip, do not use this nailer.

6.DO NOT operate the nailer if workpiece is between you or someone else and the nailer. Reposition yourself so you and oth- ers are behind the nailer.

7.Use only clean, dry, regulated, compressed air. DO NOT connect this air tool to any pres- surized gas other than compressed air.

8.Air compressors must comply with ANSI B 19.3 - 1981 (U.S.), “Safety Standard for Compressors for Process Industries.”

9.DO NOT operate at a pressure higher than 90 PSI.

10.NEVER use this nailer for fastening alu- minum, brass, metal, plastics, or any other like material.

11.Air hose must be rated as having a minimum working pressure of 150 p.s.i. or 150% of the maximum pressure produced in the line, whichever is greater. Inspect air hoses fre- quently.

12.All air tools exhaust compressed air. If work- ing in an area where dust will become air- borne due to exhausted air, WEAR RESPI-

RATORY PROTECTION.
