for use with pneumatic tools. Never use combustible gases or any other reactive gas as a power source for this tool. Danger of explosion and/or serious personal injury may result. (Fig. E)
•Use couplings that relieve all pressure from the tool when it is disconnected from the power supply. Use hose connectors that shut off air supply from compressor when the tool is disconnected. (Fig. F)
•Disconnect tool from air supply when not in use.
Always disconnect tool from air supply and remove fasteners from magazine before leaving the area or passing the tool to another operator. Do not carry tool to another work area in which changing location involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like, with air supply connected. Do not make adjustments, remove magazine, perform maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while connected to the air supply. If the contact trip is adjusted when the tool is connected to the air supply and nails are loaded, accidental discharge may occur. (Fig. G)
•Connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners to prevent an unintentional fastener discharge during connection. The tool driving mechanism may cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply. Do not load fasteners with the trigger or the contact trip depressed to prevent unintentional driving.
•Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger, or contact trip to become inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip in the on position. Do not remove spring from contact trip. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
•Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool, trigger, or contact trip is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly. Leaking air, damaged parts or missing parts should be repaired or replaced before use. Refer to Repairs. (Fig. H)
•Do not alter or modify the tool in any way. (Fig. I)
•Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
•Do not point the tool at
•Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
•Remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners.
•Never carry tool with finger on trigger. Accidental discharge could result. Using the trigger
