• Do not use bottled gases to power this tool. Bottled
compressed gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen, hydrogen, propane, acetylene or air are not
for use with pneumatic tools. Never use combustible
gases or any other reactive gas as a power source for this
tool. Danger of explosion and/or serious personal injury
may result. (Fig. E)
• Use couplings that relieve all pressure from the tool
when it is disconnected from the power supply.
Use hose connectors that shut off air supply from
compressor when the tool is disconnected. (Fig. F)
• Disconnect tool from air supply when not in use.
Always disconnect tool from air supply and remove
fasteners from magazine before leaving the area or
passing the tool to another operator. Do not carry
tool to another work area in which changing location
involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and
the like, with air supply connected. Do not make
adjustments, remove magazine, perform maintenance
or clear jammed fasteners while connected to the
air supply. If the contact trip is adjusted when the tool
is connected to the air supply and nails are loaded,
accidental discharge may occur. (Fig. G)
• Connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners
to prevent an unintentional fastener discharge during
connection. The tool driving mechanism may cycle
when the tool is connected to the air supply. Do
not load fasteners with the trigger or the contact trip
depressed to prevent unintentional driving.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the
tool, trigger, or contact trip to become inoperable.
Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip in the on
position. Do not remove spring from contact trip. Make
daily inspections for free movement of trigger and contact
trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if
any portion of the tool, trigger, or contact trip is
inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working
properly. Leaking air, damaged parts or missing parts
should be repaired or replaced before use. Refer to
Repairs. (Fig. H)
• Do not alter or modify the tool in any way. (Fig. I)
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any
time. no horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a
working implement. (Fig. J)
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked
in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
• Remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners.
