PROPERTY DAMAGE

FULLYAND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOW-
ING "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS". FAILURE

PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE TOOL
1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
Danger to the eyes always exists due to the
possibility of dust being blown up by the
exhausted air or of a fastener flying up due
to the improper handling of the tool. For
these reasons, safety glasses or goggles
shall always be worn when operating the
tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that
proper eye protection is worn. Eye protec-
tion equipment must conform to the re-
quirements of Council Directive 89/686/EEC
of 21 DEC. 1989 (the American National
Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1) and pro-
vide both frontal and side protection.
The employer is responsible to enforce the
use of eye protection equipment by the tool
operator and all other personnel in the work
area.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and
face shields alone do not provide adequate
protection.
2. EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED
IN SOME ENVIRONMENTS
As the working condition may include ex-
posure to high noise levels which can lead
to hearing damage, the employer and user
should ensure that any necessary hearing
protection is provided and used by the op-
erator and others in the work area.
3. DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE
EXCEPT AN AIR COMPRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on com-
pressed air. Do not operate the tool on any
other highpressure gas, combustible gases
(e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is
the danger of an explosion. For this reason,
absolutely do not use anything other than an
air compressor to operate the tool.

4. OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR
PRESSURE RANGE
The tool is designed to operate within an air
pressure range of 4 to 7 bar (60 to 100
p.s.i.).
The pressure should be adjusted to the type
of the work being fastened. The tool shall
never be operated when the operating
pressure exceeds 8 bar (120 p.s.i.).
Never connect the tool to air pressure which
potentially exceeds 14 bar (200 p.s.i.) as the
tool can burst.
