PNEUMATIC NAILER SAFETY RULES

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. 

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. 

WARNING: 

To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not use your tool until the following steps have 

been read and understood. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards. 

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. KEEP YOUR WORK AREA clean, uncluttered, and well lit. Do not work on floor surfaces that are slippery 
with sawdust or wax. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris. 

2. DO NOT USE the tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark 
that could ignite gases and cause a fire. 

5. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE from the work area, especially when the tool is operating. 
Never allow children or pets near the tool. 

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. DRESS FOR SAFETY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when 
operating the tool. Always wear non-slip footwear and tie back long hair. 

2. USE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. 

•  Everyone  in  the  work  area  MUST  wear  safety  glasses  with  side  shields  that  conform  to  ANSI  Z87.1 

requirements (approved glasses have “Z87” printed or stamped on them). Safety glasses should be worn 
during operation, assembly or maintenance of the tool. 

• Wear ear protection such as plugs or muffs. Failure to use adequate ear protectors when the noise level is 

high can result in lasting damage to hearing loss and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, whistling or 
buzzing in the ear).

• Wear a face mask or dust mask to fight the debris produced by operation. 
• Wear work gloves to protect your hands. 
• Wear safety non-slip work boots.
• Wear safety helmet if any work is being carried out above your head. 

3. STAY ALERT - watch what you’re doing and use common sense when using the tool. Do not use while you 
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that may affect your ability to properly use the 
tool. Even a moment of inattention may result in serious personal injury.

4. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled 
footwear. 

5. KEEP ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired 
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that may affect your ability to properly use the tool.

6. KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS CLEAR of immediate work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when 
necessary to keep body parts out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before pressing 
the nailer against the material. The safety bracket may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.
