1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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 ex-
hausted air or of a fastener flying up due to
the improper handling of the tool. For these
reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall al-
ways be worn when operating the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that
proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
equipment must conform to the require-
ments of the American National Standards
Institute, ANSI Z87.1 (Council Directive 89/
686/EEC of 21 DEC. 1989) and provide 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 expo-
sure 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 oper-
ator and others in the work area.
3. DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EX-
CEPT 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 70 to 100 p.s.i. (5 to 7 bar).
The pressure should be adjusted to the type
of the work being fastened. The tool shall
never be operated when the operating pres-
sure exceeds 120 p.s.i. (8 bar).
Never connect the tool to air pressure which
potentially exceeds 200 p.s.i. (14 bar) as the
tool can burst.
5. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A
FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable
substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Vol-
atile fumes from these substances could be
drawn into the compressor and compressed
together with the air and this could result in
an explosion.
6. NEVER USE THE TOOL IN AN EXPLO-
SIVE ATMOSPHERE
Sparks from the tool may ignite atmospheric
gases, dust or other combustible materials.
7. DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold
pressure when air supply is disconnected. If
a wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain
charged with air after disconnecting and thus
will be able to drive a fastener even after the
air line is disconnected, possibly causing in-
jury.
8. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND
EMPTY THE MAGAZINE WHEN THE
TOOL IS NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the
tool and empty the magazine when operation
has been completed or suspended, when un-
attended, moving to a different work area, ad-
justing, disassembling, or repairing the tool,
and when clearing a jammed fastener.

9. INSPECT SCREW TIGHTNESS
Loose or improperly installed screws or bolts
cause accidents and tool damage when the
tool is put into operation. Inspect to confirm
that all screws and bolts are tight and prop-
erly installed prior to operating the tool.
10. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER UNLESS
YOU INTEND TO DRIVE A FASTENER
Whenever the air supply is connected to the
tool, never touch the trigger unless you in-
tend to drive a fastener into the work. It is
dangerous to walk around carrying the tool
with the trigger pulled, and this and similar
actions should be avoided.
11. NEVER POINT THE DISCHARGE OUTLET
TOWARD YOURSELF AND OTHER PER-
SONNEL
If the discharge outlet is pointed toward peo-
ple, serious accidents may be caused when
misfiring. Be sure the discharge outlet is not
pointed toward people when connecting and
disconnecting the hose, loading and unload-
ing the fasteners or similar operations.
12. USE SPECIFIED FASTENERS
(SEE PAGE 7)
The use of fasteners other than specified
fasteners will cause the tool malfunction. Be
sure to use only specified fasteners when
operating the tool.
13. PLACE THE DISCHARGE OUTLET ON
THE WORK SURFACE PROPERLY
Failure to place the discharge outlet of the
nose in a proper manner can result in a fas-
tener flying up and is extremely dangerous.
14. KEEP HANDS AND BODY AWAY FROM
THE DISCHARGE OUTLET
When loading and using the tool, never
place a hand or any part of body in fastener
discharge area of the tool. It is very danger-
ous to hit the hands or body by mistake.
15. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS CLOSE TO
THE EDGE AND CORNER OF THE WORK
AND THIN MATERIAL
The workpiece is likely to split and the fas-
tener could fly free and hit someone.

16. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS ON TOP OF
OTHER FASTENERS
Driving fasteners on the top of other fasten-
ers may cause deflection fasteners which
could cause injury.
17. REMOVING THE FASTENERS AFTER
COMPLETING OPERATION
If fasteners are left in the magazine after the
completion of operation, there is the danger
of a serious accident occurring prior to the
resumption of operation, should the tool be
handled carelessly, or when connecting the
air fitting. For this reason, always remove all
fasteners remaining in the magazine after
completion of the operation.
18. CHECK OPERATION OF THE CONTACT
TRIP MECHANISM FREQUENTLY IN
CASE OF USING A CONTACT TRIP TYPE
TOOL
Do not use the tool if the trip is not working
correctly as accidental driving of a fastener
may result. Do not interfere with the proper
operation of the contact trip mechanism.
19. WHEN USING THE TOOL OUTSIDE OR
ELEVATED PLACE
When fastening roofs or similar slanted sur-
face, start fastening at the lower part and
gradually work your way up. Fastening back-
ward is dangerous as you may lose your foot
place.
Secure the hose at a point close to the area
you are going to drive fasteners. Accidents
may be caused due to the hose being pulled
inadvertently or getting caught.
20. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF ANY PORTION
OF THE TOOL CONTROLS (e.g., TRIG-
GER, CONTACT ARM) IS INOPERABLE,
DISCONNECTED, ALTERED OR NOT
WOKING PROPERLY
21. NEVER ACTUATE THE TOOL INTO FREE
SPACE
This will avoid any hazard caused by free fly-
ing fasteners and excessive strain of the
tool.
22. ALWAYS ASSUME THAT THE TOOL
CONTAINS FASTENERS
23. RESPECT THE TOOL AS A WORKING IM-
PLEMENT
24. NO HORSEPLAY
25. NEVER LOAD THE TOOL WITH FASTEN-
ERS WHEN ANY ONE OF THE OPERAT-
ING CONTROLS (e.g., TRIGGER,
CONTACT ARM) IS ACTIVATED
26. WEAR THE GLOVES DEPENDING ON
THE WORKING CONDITION
27. WHEN DISPOSING THE MACHINE OR ITS
PARTS, FOLLOW THE RELEVANT NA-
TIONAL RULES
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GENER-
AL CAUTION IN ADDITION TO THE
OTHER WARNINGS CONTAINED IN

DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A FLAM-
MABLE SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable sub-
stance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Volatile
fumes from these substances could be drawn
into the compressor and compressed together
with the air and this could result in an explosion.
DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure
when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting
is used, the tool can remain charged with air after
disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fas-
tener even after the air line is disconnected, pos-
sibly causing injury.
DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND EMPTY
THE MAGAZINE WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN
USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool
and empty the magazine when operation has
been completed or suspended, when unattend-
ed, moving to a different work area, adjusting,
disassembling, or repairing the tool, and when
clearing a jammed fastener.
FITTINGS: Install a male plug on the tool which
is free flowing and which will release air pressure
from the tool when disconnected from the supply
source.
HOSES: Hose has a min. ID of 1/4" (6 mm) and
max. length of no more than 17" (5 meters).
The supply hose should contain a fitting that will
provide "quick disconnecting" from the male plug
on the tool.
SUPPLY SOURCE: Use only clean regulated
compressed air as a power source for the tool.
3-PIECE AIRSET (Air filter, Regulator, Oiler):
Refer to TOOL SPECIFICATIONS for setting the
correct operating pressure for the tool.
NOTE:
A filter will help to get the best performance and
minimum wear from the tool because dirt and
water in the air supply are major causes of wear
in the tool.
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is re-
quired for the best performance. Oil added thru
the air line connection will lubricate the internal
parts.
