doing tool maintenance, clearing

 

jams, leaving work area,loading,

 

or unloading the tool. Such

 

precautionary measures reduce 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 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, loading, unloading 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 near the tool in such a manner that all compressed air in the tool is discharged at the time the fitting 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.

! 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.
