• Only use an air hose that is rated for a maximum
working pressure of at least 150 psi (10.3 bar)
or 150% of the maximum system pressure,
whichever is greater.
(Fig. D)
• 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.
Never load fasteners with the
trigger or the contact trip depressed to prevent
unintentional driving and possibly causing injury.
• 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 possibly causing injury.
• 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.
