3. Wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory protection.
 4.Removeallfastenersfromthemagazine.
5. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip and
pusher assemblies. Do not use tool if either assembly is not
functioning properly. NEVER use a tool that has the contact trip
restrained in the up position.
 6.Check air supply. Ensure that air pressure does not exceed
recommended operating limits, refer to Tool Specifications.
7. Connect air hose.
8. Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets. Never use a
tool that leaks or has damaged parts.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, disconnect tool
from air supply before performing maintenance, clearing a jammed
fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or
handing the tool to another person.

WARNING: Always wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA
Z94.3)]andhearingprotection[ANSIS12.6(S3.19)]whenoperating
this tool.
WARNING: Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving
fasteners to avoid accidental firing. NEVER carry tool with finger on
trigger. In contact mode tool will fire a fastener if safety is bumped
while trigger is depressed.
Sequential Trip: Sequential trip requires the operator to hold the
contact tip against the work surface before pulling the trigger. This
makes accurate fastener placement easier. The sequential trip allows
exact fastener placement without the possibility of driving a second
fastener on recoil, as described under Contact Trip. The sequential
trip tool has a positive safety advantage because it will not accidentally
drive a second fastener if the tool is contacted against the work or
anything else while the operator is holding the trigger pulled.
Contract Trip: The common operating procedure on contact trip
tools is for the operator to contact the work surface to actuate
the trip mechanism while keeping the trigger pulled, thus driving
a fastener each time the work is contacted. This will allow rapid
fastener placement on many jobs, such as sheathing, decking
and pallet assembly. All pneumatic tools are subject to recoil when
driving fasteners. The tool may bounce, releasing the trip, and if
unintentionally allowed to recontact the work surface with the trigger
still actuated (finger still holding the trigger pulled) an unwanted
second fastener will be driven.
TO CHANGE OPERATING MODES (FIG. 1, 4–6)
WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners
from magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may
result.
WARNING: Be aware that once the locking pin is removed, the
trigger is converted to a selectable trigger, enabling either sequential
trip or contract trip operating modes.
WARNING: Always know the tool operating mode before
connecting to an air supply and/or using the tool.

• Toujoursutiliserl’outildansunendroit
propre et bien éclairé; s’assurer que la
surface de travail est exempte de débris et
prendre soin de ne pas perdre l’équilibre
lorsqu’on travaille dans un endroit surélevé,
tel un toit.
• Nepasenfoncerlesattachesprèsdes
bords de la pièce; celle-ci pourrait se
fractionner, ce qui risque de faire ricocher
l’attache et de blesser quelqu’un, y compris
l’utilisateur ou un collègue de travail.
S’assurer de ne pas enfoncer l’attache en
direction du fil du bois afin qu’il ne dépasse
pas le bord de la pièce. Enfoncer le clou
perpendiculaire au fil du bois afin de réduire
les risques de blessure. (fig. N)
• Nepasenfoncerdecloussurlestêtes
d’autres attaches ou à un angle trop
aigu. Cette pratique peut se solder par une
blessure corporelle provoquée par un recul,
un coincement d’attache ou un ricochet de
clou. (fig. O)
• S’informerdel’épaisseurdumatériau
lorsque vous utilisez une cloueuse. Un
clou en saillie peut causer des blessures.
• Être conscient que lorsque l’outil est
utilisé à des pressions du côté élevé
de sa gamme de fonctionnement, les
clous peuvent passer complètement
à travers un matériau mince ou très
souple. S’assurer que la pression dans le
compresseur est réglée de sorte que les
clous sont fixés dans le matériau et non
poussés entièrement dans celui-ci. (Fig. P)
• Garder les mains et les parties du
corps éloignées de la zone de travail
immédiate. Au besoin, maintenir la pièce
à travailler avec des serres afin de garder
les mains et les parties du corps éloignées
du danger potentiel. S’assurer que la pièce
à travailler est adéquatement fixée avant de
pousser la cloueuse contre sa surface. Le
déclencheur peut entraîner le déplacement
inopiné de la pièce à travailler. (fig. Q)
• Ne pas utiliser l’outil en présence de
poussières, de gaz ou d’émanations
inflammables. L’outil peut générer une
étincelle qui risque d’enflammer les gaz,
provoquant ainsi un incendie. Une étincelle
peut également survenir si un clou est
enfoncé sur un autre clou. (fig. R)
• Garderlevisageetlespartiesducorps
éloignés de l’arrière du couvercle de
l’outil lorsque le travail est effectué
dans des endroits restreints. Un recul
soudain peut entraîner un impact au corps,
particulièrement durant un clouage dans
des matériaux durs ou denses. (fig. S)
• Saisir l’outil fermement pour
en garder la maîtrise tout en lui
permettant de reculer hors de la
surface de travail lorsque l’attache est enfoncée. En « mode
d’actionnement par contact », si le déclencheur retouche la pièce
avec la détente enfoncée, l’outil clouera.

doubles déclenchements
intempestifs provoqués par le
recul de l’outil. Il existe un risque
de libérer involontairement des
fixations si, par accident, le
déclencheur par contact touche à
nouveau la surface de travail (fig. T).
POUR ÉVITER LES DOUBLES
DÉCLENCHEMENTS:
• Ne pas presser l’outil contre la
pièce avec trop de force.
• Permettre à l’outil d’effectuer
complètement son mouvement de
recul après chaque actionnement.
• Utiliser la gâchette à action
séquentielle.
•Lors de l’« actionnement par
contact » de la cloueuse, il faut
toujours bien maîtriser l’outil. Un
positionnement imprécis de l’outil peut entraîner la libération mal
dirigée d’une fixation.
DÉTENTE À ACTION SÉQUENTIELLE
• Lorsqu’onutiliseladétenteàactionséquentielle,nepas
actionner l’outil à moins qu’il ne soit solidement appuyé
sur la pièce à travailler.
• Ne pas enfoncer de clous à l’aveugle dans les murs, les
planchers ou autres zones de travail. Des attaches enfoncées
dans des fils électriques sous tension, de la plomberie ou d’autres
types d’obstacles peuvent entraîner des blessures. (fig. U)
• Demeurer alerte, prêter attention au travail à effectuer
et faire preuve de bons sens pendant l’utilisation d’un
outil mécanique. Ne pas utiliser un outil lorsqu’on ressent
de la fatigue ou après avoir consommé des drogues, de
l’alcool ou des médicaments. Un moment d’inattention durant
l’utilisation d’outils mécaniques peut entraîner de graves blessures.
AVERTISSEMENT: Les scies, meules, ponceuses, perceuses
ou autres outils de construction peuvent produire des poussières
contenant des produits chimiques reconnus par l’État californien
pour causer cancers, malformations congénitales ou être nocifs au
système reproducteur. Parmi ces produits chimiques, on retrouve :
• leplombdanslespeinturesàbasedeplomb;
• la silice cristallisée dans les briques et le ciment ou autres
articles de maçonnerie ; et
• l’arsenic et le chrome dans le bois ayant subi un traitement
chimique.
Le risque associé à de telles expositions varie selon la fréquence à
laquelle on effectue ces travaux. Pour réduire toute exposition à ces
produits : travailler dans un endroit bien aéré, en utilisant du matériel
de sécurité homologué tel un masque les microscopiques.
AVERTISSEMENT: TOUJOURS PORTER DES LUNETTES
DE SÉCURITÉ. Les lunettes optiques ne constituent PAS des
lunettes de sécurité. Utiliser également un masque facial
