•Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields. Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles with side shields.

•Release the Trigger.

•Detach the air supply.

•Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners.

•Empty the magazine and leave Pusher pulled back during service. The Pusher is spring- loaded and may cause parts or a fastener to fly out of the Tool.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise, vibration, or leaking air is detected, correct problem before further use.

TO PREVENT EXPLOSION:

Lubricate only with specified lubricants. Lubricate the air inlet using only pneumatic tool oil. Lubricate the internal mechanism using only white lithium grease. Other lubricants may damage the mechanism and may be highly flammable, causing an explosion.

Note: These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance explained as part of the regular operation of the air-operated tool.

Daily - Air Supply Maintenance: Every day, perform maintenance on the air supply according to the component manufacturers’ instructions. The lubricator’s oil level needs to be maintained and the moisture filter must be regularly drained. Performing routine maintenance on the air supply will allow the tool to operate more safely and will also reduce wear on the tool.
