SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the nailer against the work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from the nailer. Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work and do not place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece as the wood may split, allowing the fastener to be deflected possibly causing injury.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
�Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool will explode, possibly causing injury or death.
Do not use with an air compressor which can potentially exceed 200 psi as tool may burst, possibly causing injury.
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If an incorrect fitting is used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is disconnected, possibly causing injury.
Always disconnect air supply:
•Before making adjustments
•When servicing the tool
•When clearing a jam
•When tool is not in use
•When moving to a different work area, as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
LOADING TOOL
Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of the operating controls is activated.
When loading tool:
Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of tool.
Never point tool at anyone.
Do not pull the trigger or depress the workpiece contact as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
