Important Safety Instructions (Continued)
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 any adjustments, changing accessories, loading, unloading or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool unintentionally..
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 accessories that are identified by the manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of an
accessory not intended for use with the specific tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons..
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 Work Contact
Element (WCE) 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.
Always disconnect the tool from the power source when unattended, performing any maintenance or repair, clearing a jam, loading, unloading or moving the tool to a new location. Always reconnect the air line AFTER loading any fasteners. Do not load the tool with fasteners when either the trigger is depressed or the Work Contact Element (WCE) is engaged. 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.
Never carry the tool by
the air hose or pull the hose to move the tool
or a compressor. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace any hose that is damaged, weak or worn. Personal injury or tool damage could occur.
Always assume the tool contains
fasteners. Respect the tool as a working implement; no horseplay. Always keep others at a safe distance from the work area in case of accidental discharge of fasteners. Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not. Accidental triggering of the tool could result in death or serious personal injury.
Do not drive a fastener on top of other fasteners. The fastener
could glance and cause death or a serious puncture wound.
! WARNING
Do not operate or allow anyone else to operate the tool if any warnings
or warning labels are not legible. Warnings or warning labels are located on the tool magazine and body.
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.
Always check that the Work Contact
Element (WCE) is operating properly. A fastener could accidentally be driven if the WCE is not working properly. Personal injury may occur (See "Checking the Work Contact Element" Section).
Avoid using the tool when the
magazine is empty. Accelerated wear on the tool may occur.
