ate eye damage. To protect yourself,

Basic Nailer Safety
In addition to the rules stated in the previ-
ous section, and those in the warning
boxes throughout this manual, please
observe the following safety tips for your
new nailer:
1. READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING THE NAIL-
ER.
2. ALWAYS DISCONNECT AIR FROM
THE NAILER whenever servicing or
installing nails. During maintenance,
a nailer connected to air may fire acci-
dentally, causing serious personal
injury.
3. DO NOT PLACE HANDS NEAR
NAIL POINT OF ENTRY. Nail can
deflect and be driven through the sur-
face of the workpiece, puncturing
your hand or fingers.
4. NEVER CONNECT THE NAILER TO
PRESSURIZED OXYGEN OR
OTHER COMBUSTIBLE GASES as
a power source. Only use filtered,
lubricated, and regulated compressed
air.
5. ALWAYS KEEP ANY
BYSTANDERS BEHIND NAILER
OR AWAY FROM AREA DURING
USE. Nails may be driven completely
though wood and could become dan-
gerous projectiles.
6. DO NOT CARRY THE NAILER BY
ANY OTHER PART THAN THE
HANDLE, and do not carry the nailer
by the air hose.
7. DO NOT KEEP THE TRIGGER
PULLED ON THE SAFETY YOKE
MECHANISM WHEN CARRYING
OR HOLDING THE TOOL.
8. DO NOT USE A CHECK VALVE OR
ANY OTHER FITTING that allows air
to remain in the tool.
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 warn-
ing may result in serious personal
injury.
