SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER!
1) Be sure to put goggles on before operation
Since a fastener red wrongly through careless handling can spring out or
you are always exposed to danger that can be caused by dust and extraneous
substances dispersed by exhausted air, you must always wear goggles for
operation. Goggles should meet requirements of ANSI Z89.1-1997 and
be able to protect both the front and the sides. An employer has responsibility
for having workers and all the other persons wear protective equipment in a
workshop.
2) Put on hearing protective equipment in certain working environment.

USER MANUAL 3
In working environment exposed to loudness which may result in hearing loss,
an employer (management) must provide hearing protection equipment to a
user and others in the workshop and a worker must wear it if necessary.
3) Never use any power source but compressed air.
As this tool is designed and manufactured to operate using air pressure
that is generated by an air compressor authorized by a safety certica-
tionauthority,you can not use any kind of gas combustible gases such as
oxygen and acetylene except this. Otherwise, it may not only cause
mechanical trouble but also malfunction or explosion, resulting in iniction of
fatal injury on a user or those around him or her.
4) Use it within the optimum range of air pressure.
This tool is designed to operate within a range of pressure between 58
psi and 100 psi (or between 4 bar and 7 bar). Connect this tool to a pres-
sure controllable device so that you can work under xed pressure. When
operating this tool, never use it under pressure of 120psi (8bar) and over.
This tool can not connected to the pressure higher than 120 psi(or 8 bar) ,
or will damage the parts.
5) Don’t use it near inammables (combustibles).
Never operate this tool near inammables (such as thinner and gasoline).
Combustible gas from such materials can be sucked into a compressor and
compressed together with air, possibly resulting in explosion.
6) Be careful not to aim or re it toward yourself or any other person in
any case.
You should be careful not to aim it toward yourself or any other person
in any case whether the tool is loaded with fasteners or not. Then, even
if malfunction or undesired ring occurs, you can minimize damage
caused by the red fasteners. Otherwise, it may result in serious injury.
7) Never touch the trigger except when this tool operates for work.
Never touch the trigger except when air is connected to this tool, which
operates for work. It is especially very dangerous to change the position or
move around during operation with your nger xed on the trigger, and you
may not do any similar action. Otherwise, possible carelessness may result
in iniction of serious injury on a user or those around him or her.

WARNING!
8) Connect a proper connector to this tool correctly.
The connector for this tool should never have pressure kept when air
supply is cut off. If an improper part is applied, then the tool can operate
due to pressure left within it even after the airline is disconnected possibly
resulting in injury.
9) Disconnect the air line and empty the fasteners out of the container in
case that the tool is not used.
Be sure to cut off air supply and empty the fastener container when the
work is completed or when you move to another workshop, maintain,
disassemble, or repair this tool, or clear jam. Make sure that the airline
is disconnected in loading the container with fasteners again.
CAUTION
10) Make sure that each fastener is locked tightly.
The tool can be damaged if you use it with each fastener loosened, or
screws or bolts assembled wrongly. Make sure that all screws and bolts
are assembled correctly and tightly before using the tool.
11) Never let a worker remove or manipulate a safety device, or recompose
the tool at his or her discretion.
If you remove a safety device, or manipulate or recompose the tool at
will, it can cause a drop in performance and breakdown of the tool and
result in injury due to mechanical trouble and malfunction.
12) Be sure to disconnect the air line and empty fasteners out of the
container if the tool is not used.
You must disconnect the air line and empty the fastener container when
the work is completed or suspended, when you go out of a workshop,
when you move or transfer the tool, or on other occasions.
13) Stick the muzzle correctly to the target plane for drive a fastener.
If correct drive a fastener is not implemented on the target plane, the
red fastener can spring out, possibly resulting in injury.
14) You are prohibited from using the tool for other purposes than drive
a fastener and from throwing or dropping it.

USER MANUAL 5
The resultant shock can cause damage to main parts or malfunction,
possibly resulting in injury.
15) Never drive a fastener on hard or thin objects, an edge of the target
surface or a fastener crown already driven.
Otherwise, the fastener fails to be driven in but springs out, thus inicting
an injury on a worker or those around him or her.
16) Conduct operations in an upright and safe position all the time.
Long-time work in an unstable and wrong position may put excessive
stress on the body, possibly resulting in an injury.
17) When the temperature falls below zero, it is important to note that
you should keep the tool warm in a safe and convenient way.
If you fail to do this, make the tool get warm according to the following
procedure.
Control air pressure in the range of 40psi to 70psi.
Remove all the fasteners loaded in the tool.
Connect the airline to the tool and try mock drive a fastener.
- Keep pressure low enough to operate the tool in a proper way.
- Operate it slowly to let the actuator get warm.
- Piston operation helps bumper and O-ring maintain the original elasticity.
