Important Safety Information (Continued)

Personal Safety

a.Stay alert.Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the tool increases the risk of injury to persons.

b.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.

c. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

d.Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions.

Ensuring that the tool is used only when the operator and all

other personnel in the work area are wearing ANSI Z87 eye protection equipment, and when required, other appropriate protection equipment such as head, hearing

and foot protection equipment. Serious eye or permanent hearing loss could result.

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

f.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.

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

Do not drop or throw the tool. Dropping

or throwing the tool can result in damage that will make the tool unusable or unsafe. If the tool has been dropped or thrown, examine the tool closely for bent, cracked or broken parts and air leaks. STOP and repair before using or serious injury could occur.

Avoid long extended periods of work with the nailer. Stop using the nailer if you feel pain in

hands or arms.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surface when performing an operation where the tool or

fastener may contact hidden wiring. Contacting a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

Electrical Safety

Replace batteries only with same size batteries. Do not mix old and

new batteries. Using wrong size batteries can create a risk of fire or injury.

The front end of the tool may be made “live” if the tool comes

into contact with live wiring in the wall.TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK, HOLD TOOL ONLY BY THE SOFT GRIP HANDLE.

Tool Use and Care

a.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.

Disconnect the tool from the air source before making adjustments, doing tool maintenance,

clearing jams, touching the safety yoke, leaving work area, loading, or unloading the tool. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of injury to persons.

b.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.

c.Maintain the tool with care. A properly maintained tool reduces the risk of problems and is easier to control.

d.Use only those fasteners listed in the “Fastener Interchange Information” section on page 16 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.
