GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH
WARNING
WHEN USING TOOLS, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
12. The operator and other people in the |
work area must wear eye protection |
in accordance with ANSI Z87.1. Eye |
protection does not fit all operators in the |
same way. Make sure the eye protection |
chosen has side shields or provides |
protection from flying debris both from |
the front and sides. The employer is |
responsible for enforcing the use of eye |
protection by the operator and other |
people in the work area. When required, |
wear head protection in accordance with |
ANSI Z89.1. |
13. Always wear ear protectors when |
using the tool for extended periods. |
Prolonged exposure to high intensity |
noise is able to cause hearing loss. |
contact or leaving work area. Verify the tool is empty and there is no residual pres- sure in the tool prior to performing these actions. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of injury to persons.
21. | Store idle tools out of reach of chil- |
| dren and other untrained persons. |
| A tool is dangerous in the hands of |
| untrained users. |
22. | Maintain the tool with care. A properly |
| maintained tool reduces the risk of injury. |
| If the tool has been dropped, received a |
| sharp blow, been run over, etc., perform |
| the "Required Daily Testing" before |
| further use. |
23. | Check for misalignment or binding |
| of moving parts, breakage of parts, |
GENERAL
1.To reduce the risk of injury, read all instructions before using the tool.
WORK AREA
2.Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risk of injury.
3.Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The tool is able to create sparks resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.
4.Keep bystanders, children, and visi- tors away while operating the tool. Distractions are able to result in the loss of control of the tool.
5.Know what is behind your workpiece. A fastener could travel through the work- piece and out the other side, striking a bystander and causing serious injury.
6.DANGER: Avoid performing opera- tions where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator, resulting in serious injury or death. Contact a qualified electrician to ensure a safe work environment exists.
PERSONAL SAFETY
7.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
8.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.
9.Avoid unintentional starting. Remove finger from the trigger when not driv- ing fasteners. Be sure the trigger is not pulled before connecting to the air sup- ply. Do not carry the tool with your finger on the trigger or connect the tool to the air supply with the trigger pulled.
10.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
11.Use safety equipment. A dust mask,
14. Do not carry an air hose or a tool con- |
nected to an air hose when climbing |
ladders, rigging or scaffolding. Do |
not attach an air hose or tool con- |
nected to an air hose to your body |
when working at elevated heights. At- |
tach the hose to the structure to reduce |
the risk of loss of balance and injury if |
the hose shifts. |
15. Always assume that the tool contains |
fasteners. Do not point the tool toward |
yourself or anyone whether it contains |
fasteners or not. |
16. Do not nail on top of another nail. This |
can cause the nail to be deflected and |
hit someone, or cause the tool to react |
and result in a risk of injury to persons. |
TOOL USE AND CARE
17.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.
18.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.
19.Do not use the tool if the trigger does not turn the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.
20.Disconnect the tool from the air source, then empty the magazine before making adjustments, doing tool maintenance, clearing jams, touching the workpiece
and any other condition that affects |
the tool’s operation. If damaged, have |
the tool serviced before using. Many ac- |
cidents are caused by poorly maintained |
tools. There is an increased risk of the |
tool bursting if the tool is damaged. |
24. Use only those fasteners specifically |
recommended. Fasteners not identified |
for use with this tool by the tool manufac- |
turer are able to result in a risk of injury |
to persons or tool damage when used |
in this tool. See the "Specifications" |
section for fastener requirements. |
25. Use only accessories that are identi- |
fied by the manufacturer for the spe- |
cific tool model. Use of an accessory |
not intended for use with the specific |
tool model, increases the risk of injury |
to persons. |
SERVICE
26.a) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
b)The wrench provided is for tighten- ing screws during "Required Daily Testing".
c)Use only identical replacement parts recommended by the manufac- turer.
27.Use only the air tool lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manu- facturer. Do not use other lubricants; they will damage the tool. See "Acces- sories" for a list of recommended air tool lubricants.
