9.Do not connect tool to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 PSI (13.7 BAR).

10.All air line components (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must be rated for a maximum working pressure of at least 150 PSI (10.3 BAR) or 150% of the maximum system pressure, which ever is greater.

11.Connect tool to air supply hose with a coupling that automatically removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnected. Fig. 7.

12.Disconnect tool from air supply hose before doing tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person. Fig. 7.

13.Never use a tool that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened. Fig. 8.

14.Never use tool if safety, trigger or springs are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and safety mechanism. Fig. 8.

15.Do not use tool without safety warning label. If label is missing, damaged or unreadable, contact your Porter-Cable Service Center for a replacement. Fig. 9.

16.Only use parts, fasteners and accessories approved by Porter-Cable.

17.Connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners, to prevent a fastener from being fired during connection. The tool driving mechanism may cycle when tool is connected to the air supply. Fig. 10.

18.Always assume the tool contains fasteners. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a working implement. Fig. 11.

19.Operator and bystanders should wear hard hats to safeguard against possible injuries. Fig. 12.

20.Do not load fasteners with trigger or safety depressed, to prevent unintentional firing of a fastener. Fig. 13
