SAFETY RULES

7.  DRESS  FOR  SAFETY.  Do  not  wear  loose  clothing,  gloves,  neckties,  or  jewelry  (rings,  watches,  etc.)  when 
operating the tool. Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts and draw you in. ALWAYS 
wear non-slip footwear and tie back long hair. 

8. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK to fight the debris produced by operation and ear protection to 
fight  hearing  loss.  Everyone  in  the  work  area  MUST  wear  safety  glasses  with  side  shields.  These  safety  glasses 
must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved glasses have “Z87” printed or stamped on them). It is the 
employer’s responsibility to enforce the use of eye protection equipment by both the tool operator and others in 
the work area.

WARNING: 

Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health. Always operate the tool in a 

well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection systems whenever possible. 

9. ALWAYS USE an air hose that is rated at a maximum working pressure of at least 180 psi (12.4 bar)

10. 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.

11. USE COUPLINGS that relieve all pressure from the tool when it is disconnected from the power supply. Use 
hose connectors that shut off the air supply from the compressor when the tool is disconnected.

12. 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 contact trip is adjusted when the 
tool is connected to the air supply with loaded nails, accidental discharge may occur.

13. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS before connecting the tool to the air supply. Otherwise, fasteners are at risk 
of being fired during connection. The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when it is connected to the air supply. 
Do not load fasteners when the trigger or the safety is pressed down in order to prevent unintentional firings of a 
fastener.

14. DO NOT REMOVE, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger or contact trip to become inoperable. 
Do not tape or tie the trigger or contact trip in the ON position. Do not remove springs from the contact trip. Make 
daily inspections for free movement of the trigger and contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge may result. Do not alter 
or modify the tool in any way. 

15.  DO  NOT  OVERREACH.  Keep  proper  footing  and  balance  at  all  times.  Wear  oil-resistant  rubber-soled 
footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris. 

16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instructions 
for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool before use. Do not operate if any portion of the tool, trigger, 
or contact trip is damaged, inoperable, disconnected, or altered. Leaking air, damaged parts, or missing parts should 
be repaired or replaced before use.
