-3-

1.  HAND INJURIES: 

Do not place your 

hands near the nail point of entry. 
A nail can deflect and tear through 
the surface of the workpiece, 
puncturing your hand or fingers.

2.  COMBUSTIBLE GASES: 

Never 

connect the nailer to pressurized 
oxygen or other combustible 
gases as a power source. Only use 
filtered, lubricated, and regulated 
compressed air.

3.  SAFE HANDLING: 

Never point 

the nailer at others! Do not keep 
the trigger pulled when loading 
fasteners, carrying, or holding 
tool. Carry the nailer only by the 
handle, never by any other part. 
Do not carry the nailer by the air 
hose. Disconnect the nailer from 
the air hose when going up and 
down ladders.

4.  CLEANING: 

Never use gasoline or 

other flammable liquids to clean 
the nailer; vapors in the nailer will 
ignite by a spark and cause it to 
explode.

Additional Safety for Nailers/Staplers

5.  HOSE USAGE: 

Make sure your air 

hose is designed for the tool in 
use, is in good condition, and is 
long enough to reach your work 
without stretching. However, an 
overly long air hose in the work 
area may be a tripping hazard. 

6.  OPERATING QUESTIONS: 

If you 

are not sure about the intended 
operation, stop using the nailer. 
Seek formal training.

7.  MAINTENANCE: 

Always disconnect 

air from the nailer when servicing 
or installing nails. During 
maintenance, a nailer connected to 
air may fire accidentally, causing 
serious personal injury.

8.  COMPRESSED AIR RATING: 

Do not 

connect the nailer to compressed 
air that exceeds 120 PSI.

9.  CHECK VALVE: 

Do not use a check 

valve or any other fitting that 
allows air to remain in the tool.

10.

 

MODIFICATIONS: 

DO NOT 

modify this tool or bypass safety 
mechanisms.

Never  point  this  nailer  at  yourself 
or  another  person!  Always  pay 
attention to the direction this nailer 
is pointed. Use this tool with respect 
and caution to lessen the possibility 
of  operator  or  bystander  injury. 
Ignoring  this  warning  may  result  in 
serious personal injury.

Nailer/stapler  accidents  routinely 
happen  while  moving  the  gun  to 
another location, such as up ladders, 
to  another  room,  or  even  another 
job  site.  Always  disconnect  the  gun 
immediately  after  use  and  never 
transport the gun while connected to 
the air—even if the air compressor is 
disconnected from its power source!
