• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask
if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA/Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

* The DWFP1838 requires 2.83 cubic feet per minute or cfm. (80.1
liters per minute or lt/min) of free air at 80 psi (5.6 kg/cm
2
) to operate
at a rate of 60 fasteners per minute. To determine the appropriately
sized air compressor, take the actual rate at which the tool will be
run and compare the required cfm (lt/min) to the compressors free air
delivery (cfm/ lt/min) at 80 psi (5.6 kg/cm
2
).
For example, if your fastener usage averages 30 fasteners per minute,
you need 50% of the tools cfm required to operate the tool at the
rate of 60 fasteners per minute. In this case, be sure that your air
compressor can deliver a minimum of 1.42 cfm (40.2 lt/min) at 80 psi
(5.6 kg/cm
2
) for optimum performance.
