Wen 61764, Manual

28. DO NOT DISCHARGE fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any 
material too hard for the fastener to penetrate. 

29. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS near the edge of your work material. The workpiece may split, causing the 
fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a bystander. Be aware that the nail may follow the grain of the wood, causing 
it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce 
risk of injury.

30. DO NOT DRIVE NAILS onto the heads of other fasteners. Do not use the tool at too steep of an angle. 
Personal injury from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricochetted nails may result.
 
31. BE AWARE OF MATERIAL THICKNESS when using the nailer. A protruding nail may cause injury.

32. KNOW that when the tool is being utilized at pressures on the high end of its operating range, nails can be 
driven completely through thin or very soft work material. Make sure the pressure in the compressor is set so that 
nails are set into the material and not pushed completely through.

33. REMOVE FINGER FROM TRIGGER when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with your finger on 
the trigger.

34. IF THE FASTENERS ARE JAMMED, disconnect the tool from the air supply first before removing the 
jammed fasteners.

35. DISCONNECT tool from air supply when not in use. Remove fasteners from magazine before leaving the 
area or passing the tool to another operator. Do not climb ladders, stairs, scaffoldings, etc. without disconnecting 
the tool. Do not carry a connected tool to another work area. Do not make adjustments, remove magazine, 
perform maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while connected to the air supply. If the safety bracket is adjusted 
when the tool is connected to the air supply with loaded nails, accidental discharge may occur.

36. DO NOT REMOVE, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger or safety bracket to become 
inoperable. Do not tape or tie the trigger or safety bracket in the ON position. Do not remove springs from the 
safety bracket. Make daily inspections for free movement of the trigger and safety bracket. Do not alter or modify 
the tool in any way. 

37. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow 
instructions for lubricating, changing accessories and storage.
