SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions carefully before use!
WARNING!
Always take basic safety precautions when using compressed air tools to safeguard against
the risk of personal injury. This power tool is intended for specific applications. The equipment MUST
NOT BE MODIFIED and/or used for anything but its intended purpose. Contact your dealer if you have
any questions about using the equipment.
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered work areas increase the risk of injury.
Keep children away from the work area. Do not allow children to operate the tool.
Never use the tool if you are under the influence of alcohol, medication or drugs. If you are taking
medication, read its warning text to check whether it may affect your judgement and reflexes. Do
not use the tool if you are in any doubt.
Wear eye protection. Safety glasses must meet ANSI Z87.1 standards. Safety glasses will protect
against flying particles from in front and from the sides. Wear eye protection when you are loading,
using or servicing the tool.
Wear ear protection. High noise levels in the work area can cause hearing impairment.
Do not use oxygen, flammable gases, gases in cylinders or pressurised gases to power the tool.
The tool can explode and cause serious injuries.
Wear appropriate clothing. Wear protective clothing and non-slip shoes or safety shoes when you
are working with the tool. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. They can get caught in
moving parts. Wear a hair net to prevent your hair from becoming caught in the tool.
Do not fire the tool at hard materials. Do not attempt to fire the tool at hard or fragile materials such
as concrete, steel or tiles.
Stand correctly when using the tool. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance in order to
avoid injuries.
Check for damaged parts. Carefully check that none of the parts are damaged before using the
tool.
Replacement of parts and accessories. Only use approved spare parts and accessories for
servicing.
Pay attention to what you are doing. Always be careful when using the equipment. Use your
common sense. Do not use the tool when you are tired.
Storing the tool. When not in use, store the tool in a dry place, properly cleaned and assembled, to
reduce the risk of corrosion. Keep out of the reach of children.
Extension cord for outdoor use. If using the compressor outdoors, only use an earthed extension
cord intended for outdoor use. See the manufacturer’s instructions on the required cross-section
ar
ea for the compressor’s power consumption.
Take care with the air hose and its connections. Do not trip over the hose. Check that all
connections are properly tightened.
Never point the tool at yourself or others when it is loaded.
Use the correct compressed air connection. It must not be possible for the connection on the tool to
be pressurised after the compressed air supply has been disconnected. If you use the wrong
connection, the tool can be pressurised after the compressed air supply has been disconnected,
and the fasteners can still be fired.
When you connect compressed air, the tool can fire fasteners. You must therefore remove all
fasteners before connecting compressed air.
Do not squeeze the trigger and the safety mechanism when you are loading fasteners.
If fasteners become stuck, disconnect the compressed air supply and remove the jammed
fasteners.
WARNING!
Warnings and instructions in this manual do not cover all the situations that could possibly
arise. The person operating the tool must use common sense and care.
