General Tool Handling Guidelines:
1. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
2. Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not.
3. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece.
4. Respect the tool as a working implement.
5. No horseplay.
6. Do not hold or carry the tool with a finger on the trigger.
7. Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of the operating controls is activated.
8. Do not operate the tool with any power source other than that specified in the tool
operatinglsafety instructions.
*An improperly functioning tool must not be used.
Sparks sometimesfly when the tool is used. Do not
usethe
tool near volatile, flammable materials such
as gasoline, thinner, paint, gas, adhesives, etc.; they
will ignite and explode, causing serious injury.
The area should besufficiently illuminatedtoassure
safe operations.
The area should be clear and litter- free. Be espe-
cially careful to maintain goodfootingand balance.

*Only those involved in the work should be in the
vicinity. Children especially must be kept away at
all times.
There may be local regulations concerning noise
which must becomplied
with by keepingnoiselevels
within prescribed limits.
In certain cases, shutters
should be used to contain noise.
Do not play with the contact element: it prevents
accidental discharge,
so it must be kept on and not
removed. Securing the trigger
in the ON position is
also very dangerous. Never attempt to fasten the
trigger.
Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool
operating controls is inoperable, disconnected,
altered, or not working properly.
Operatethe tool within the specified air pressureof
4.5 - 8.5 kgf/cm’G (65 - 120 PSIG) for safety
and longertool life.
Do not exceedthe recommended
max. operating pressure
of 8.5 kgf/cm’G (120
PSIG).Thetool should notbe connected toa source
whose pressure potentially exceeds
14.0 kgf/cm’G
(200 PSIG).

Make sure no one is nearby before nailing. Never
attempt to nail from both the inside and outside at
thesametime. Nails may ripthrough and/or fly off,
presenting a grave danger.
Watch your footing andmaintain four balance with
the tool. Make sure there is no one below when
working
in high locations, and secure the air hose
to prevent danger
if there is sudden jerking or
catching.
-On rooftops and other high locations, nail as you
move forward.
It is easy to lose your footing if you
nail while inching backward. When nailing against
perpendicular surface, nail from the top to the
bottom. You can performnailing operations
with less
fatigue by doing
so.
A nail will be bent or the tool can becomejammed
if you mistakenly nailontopof another nailor strike
a knot
in the wood. The nail may bethrown and hit
someone, or the tool itself can react dangerously.
Place the nails
