IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

13. REPLACEMENT PARTS. 

When servicing, use only identical replacement 

parts and fasteners recommended by the manufacturer.

14. CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY BEFORE

 loading fasteners to prevent 

fasteners from firing during connection. The fastener driving mechanism 

may cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply.

15. ALWAYS ASSUME THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS.

 Keep it pointed 

away from yourself and others at all times. Handle the tool very carefully. 
Respect the tool as a working implement.

16. ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE WORK CONTACT ELEMENT (WCE) IS 

OPERATING PROPERLY. 

A fastener could accidentally be driven if the 

WCE is not working properly. Personal injury may occur.

17. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS

 with the trigger depressed or when the 

Work Contact Element(WCE) is engaged

. The tool may unintentionally fire a 

fastener which could cause death or serious personal injury.

18. DO NOT DEPRESS THE TRIGGER 

when not driving fasteners. Never 

carry tool or attach an air line while touching on the trigger mechanism: tool 

may fire an unwanted fastener.

19. DO NOT REMOVE, TAMPER WITH, OR OTHERWISE CAUSE THE 

WORK CONTACT ELEMENT (WCE) OR TRIGGER TO BECOME 
INOPERABLE.

 Do not operate any tool which has been modified in a like 

fashion. Death or serious personal injury could result. 

20. DON’T OVERREACH.

 Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not 

reach over or across machines which are running.

21. GRIP TOOL FIRMLY

 to maintain control while allowing the tool to recoil 

away from the work surface as the fastener is driven.

22. DO NOT DRIVE NAILS

 on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at too 

steep an angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury.

23. FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY. 

Do not drive nails nor 

attempt to do so, into hard or brittle materials such as steel, concrete, or 
tile.

24. DO NOT DRIVE NAILS 

too close to the edge of the workpiece. The 

workpiece is likely to split, allowing the fasteners to fly free or ricochet 

causing personal injury.

25. STAY ALERT.

 Keep hands and body away from the path of any potential 

fired fastener. Watch what you are doing & use common sense. Don’t 

operate any tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs or 

alcohol. Check prescription medication to determine if there could be a 
problem.

26. PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCKS.

 Prevent body contact with grounded 

surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. Before 

driving fasteners into walls, floors, or wherever “live” electrical wires may be 

encountered, check whether there is a danger of shock.

27. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAR

 of obstructions.

28. NEVER CARRY THE TOOL BY AIR HOSE OR PULL THE HOSE TO 

MOVE THE TOOL OR A COMPRESSOR.

 Keep hoses away from heat, 

oil, and sharp edges. Replace any hose that is damaged, weak or worn. 
Personal injury or tool damage could occur.

29. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. 

When the tool is not being used, it should be 

cleaned, and stored in a clean dry place out of the reach of children.

30. NEVER USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO CLEAN 

THE TOOL

. Never use the tool in the presence of of flammable liquids or 

gases. A spark could ignite vapours and could cause an explosion resulting 
in death or serious injury.

31. AVOID LONG, EXTENDED PERIODS OF WORK

 with the tool. Stop using the 

tool if you feel pain in hands or arms.

32. DISCONNECT AIR SUPPLY

 and release tension from the driver blade before 

attempting to clear jams because tools can be ejected from the front of the tool. 
Personal injury may occur.

33. AVOID CYCLING THE TOOL WHEN THE MAGAZINE IS EMPTY. 

Accelerated wear on the tool may occur.
