NOTE: The word “Note” is used to inform readers of something they need to know about the tool.
•Do not use oxygen or any other combustible or bottled gas to power air-powered tools.
Failure to observe this warning
can cause explosion and serious personal injury or death. Use only compressed air to power
air-powered tools. Use a minimum of 25’ (7.6 m) of hose to connect the tool to the compressor. Failure to
comply will result in serious injury or loss of life.
• Risk of bursting. Make sure the regulator is adjusted so that the compressor outlet pressure is set lower than the
maximum operating pressure of the tool. Before starting the compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make
sure the valve moves freely. Drain water from tank after each use. Do not weld or repair the tank. Relieve all
pressure in the hose before removing or attaching accessories.
•Risk of electric shock. Do not expose a compressor to rain. Store it indoors. Disconnect the compressor from the
power source before servicing. The compressor must be grounded. Do not use grounding adaptors.
Risk of burns. The pump and the manifold generate high temperatures. In order to avoid burns or other injuries, do
not touch the pump, the manifold or the transfer tube while the compressor is running. Allow the parts to cool down
before handling or servicing. Keep children and pets away from the compressor at all times.
•Risk of personal injury. Do not direct compressed air from the air hose toward the user or other people or animals.
•Risk of inhalation. Never directly inhale the air produced by the compressor.
•Risk of bursting. Do not adjust the pressure switch or safety valve for any reason. They have been
preset at the factory for the compressor’s maximum pressure. Tampering with the pressure switch or the safety
valve may cause personal injury or property damage.
DANGER!
Potential hazard that will result in serious injury or loss of life.
•Keep children away from the work area. Do not allow children to handle power tools.
•Do not use this tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. Sparks that are created during use may ignite gases.
•Do not point the tool toward yourself or other people. Keep hands, feet and all other parts of the body clear from work area.
•Always ensure that the workpiece is firmly secured, leaving both hands free to control the tool.
•Always ensure that the tool has stopped after use, for safety purposes and to prevent possible damage to the tool or personal injury or death.
WARNING!
Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.
•Do not allow unskilled or untrained individuals to operate the Air-powered Brad Nailer.
•Do not use the Air-powered Brad Nailer for any task other than that it is designed to perform.
•Keep hands and other parts of the body away from the firing head during use. Keep hands, feet, and all other parts of the
body at 8" (20 cm) away from the firing head. Nails can cause serious injury if they are deflected by the workpiece or by
objects in the workpiece or if they are driven away from the point of entry.
•Do not drive a nail on top of existing nails. The nail may ricochet, causing serious personal injury.
•Use only nails of the proper size and gauge, as specified in this manual (see section “Technical Specifications”). Failure to
comply could result in serious injury or loss of life.
•Protect the air hose and the power cord from damage and puncture. Inspect them for weak or worn spots before every
usage, and replace them if necessary.
•Always wear hearing protection when using the air compressor. Failure to do so may result in hearing loss.
•Do not carry the compressor while it is running.
•Do not operate the compressor if it is not in a stable position.
•Do not operate the compressor on a rooftop or in an elevated position that could allow the unit to fall or be tipped over.
•Always replace a damaged gauge before operating the unit.
•Carry the tool by the handle only. Do not carry the tool with a finger on the trigger. Do not carry the tool by the hose, the
magazine nor any other part.
•Keep proper footing at all times in order to ensure correct balance.
