Important Safety Instructions (Continued)

f.Always wear eye protection.

g. Always wear hearing protection when using the tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise is able to cause

hearing loss.

h.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.

i.Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not.

be deflected and hit someone, or

 

cause the tool to react and result in a

 

risk of injury to persons.

k.

when not driving fasteners. Never

 

carry the tool with finger on trigger,

the tool is able to fire a fastener.

Always remain in a

firmly balanced position when using or handling the tool.

Avoid long extended periods of

work with the tool. Stop using the tool if you feel pain in hands or arms.

Tool Use and Care

a.Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.

b.Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.

c.Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

d.

 

 

 

Disconnect the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tool from the air

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

source before making adjustments,

 

doing tool maintenance, clearing

 

jams, leaving work area,loading,

 

or unloading the tool. Such

 

precautionary measures reduce the

 

risk of injury to persons.

e.Store the tool when it is idle out of reach of children and other untrained persons. A tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

f.Maintain the tool with care. Keep a cutting tool sharp and clean. A properly maintained tool, with sharp cutting edges reduces the risk of binding and is easier to control.

g.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.

h.Use only those fasteners listed in the Accessories section of this manual. Fasteners not identified for use with this tool by the tool manufacturer are able to result in a risk of injury to persons or tool damage when used in this tool.

i.Selecting an appropriate tool actuation system, taking into consideration the work application for which the tool is used.

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.

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.

Always disconnect the tool from the power source when unattended, performing any maintenance or repair, clearing

a jam, or moving the tool to a new location. Do not load the tool with fasteners when the trigger is depressed. The tool could eject a fastener causing death or serious personal injury.

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.

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.
