SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after
driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool.
Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the nailer
against the work. Restriction to the recoil can result in
a second fastener being driven from the nailer. Grip the
handle firmly and let the tool do the work. Failure to heed
this warning can result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with
the tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause
deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the
workpiece as the wood may split, allowing the fas-
tener to be deflected possibly causing injury.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool as tool will ex-
plode, possibly causing injury or death.
Do not use with an air compressor which can po-
tentially exceed 200 psi as tool may burst, possibly
causing injury.
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure
when air supply is disconnected.
If an incorrect fitting
is used, the tool can remain charged with air after discon-
necting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after
the air line is disconnected, possibly causing injury.
Always disconnect air supply:
• Before making adjustments
• When servicing the tool
• When clearing a jam
• When tool is not in use
• When moving to a different work area, as accidental
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
LOADING TOOL
Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of
the operating controls is activated.
When loading tool:
Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener
discharge area of tool.
Never point tool at anyone.
Do not pull the trigger or depress the workpiece
contact as accidental actuation may occur, possibly
causing injury.
