ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
PNEUMATIC POWER TOOLS
ŶAir under pressure can cause severe injury.
ŶAlways shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure
and disconnect tool from air supply whenever not in
use, before changing accessories or where making
repairs.
ŶNever direct air at yourself or anyone else.
ŶWhipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always
check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
ŶCold air should be directed away from the hands.
ŶWhenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings)
are used, lock pins shall be installed and whip check
safety cables shall be used to safeguard against
possible hose-to-tool and hose-to-hose connection
failure.
ŶDo not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on
the tool.
ŶNever carry an air tool by the hose.
ŶOnly fasteners listed in the specifications may be used
in the fastener driving tool. The fastener driving tool
and the fasteners specified in the specifications are to
be considered as one unit safety system.
ŶQuick action couplings shall be used for connection
to the compressed air system and the non-sealable
nipple must be fitted at the tool in such a way that no
compressed air remains in the tool after disconnection.
ŶOxygen or combustible gases shall not be used as an
energy source for compressed air operated fastener
driving tools.
ŶFastener driving tools shall only be connected to an
air supply where the maximum allowable pressure of
the tool cannot be exceeded by more than 10%; in the
case of higher pressure ,a pressure reducing valve
which includes a downstream safety valve shall be
built into the compressed air supply.
ŶOnly the main energy and the lubricants listed in
the operating instructions may be used for the
maintenance of fastener driving tools. Only spare
parts specified by the manufacturer or his authorised
representative shall be used.
ŶRepairs shall be carried out only by the manufacturer's
authorized agents or by other experts, having due
regard to the information given in the operating
instructions.
ŶStands for mounting the fastener driving tools to a
support, for example to a work table, shall be designed
and constructed by the stand manufacturer in such
a way that the fastener driving tools can be safely
fixed for the intended use, thus for example avoiding
damage, distortion and displacement.
ŶCheck prior to each operation that the safety and
triggering mechanism is functioning properly and that
all nuts and bolts are right.
ŶDo not carry out any alterations to the fastener driving
tool.
ŶDo not disassemble or make inoperative any parts of
the fastener driving tool such as the dual actuation
trigger system.
ŶDo not perform any “emergency repairs” without
proper tools and equipment.
ŶThe fastener driving tool should be serviced properly
and at regular intervals in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
ŶAvoid weakening or damaging the tool, for example
by:
– punching or engraving;
– modification not authorized by the manufacturer;
– guiding against templates made of hard material
such as steel;
– dropping or pushing across the floor;
– using the tool as a hammer;
– applying excessive force of any kind.
ŶNever point any fastener driving tool at yourself or at
any other person or animal.
ŶHold the fastener driving tool during the work operation
in such a way that no injuries can be caused to the
head or to the body in the event of possible recoil
consequent upon a disruption in the compressed air
supply or hard areas within the workplace.
ŶNever actuate the fastener driving tool into free space.
This will avoid any hazard caused by free flying
fasteners and excessive strain of the tool.
ŶThe tool shall be disconnected from the compressed
air system for the purpose of transportation, especially
where ladders are used or where an unusual physical
posture is adopted whilst moving .
ŶCarry the fastener driving tool at the workplace using
only the handle, and never with the trigger actuated.
ŶTake conditions at the workplace into account.
Fasteners can penetrate thin work pieces or slip off
corners and edges of workplaces, and thus put people
at risk.
ŶFor personal safety, use protective equipment such as
hearing and eye protection.

ŶFastener driving tools are operated by actuating the
trigger using finger pressure.
In addition, fastener driving tool is fitted with a safety
yoke which enables the driving operation to be carried
out only after the nose of the tool is pressed against a
work piece. These tools are marked with an inverted
triangle behind the serial number and are not
permitted for use without an effective safety yoke. A
safety yoke is not required on fastener driving tools
which accelerate the heaviest usable fasteners to a
free flight velocity below an admissible risk of injury.
Those fastener driving tools are not marked with an
inverted triangle.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPRESSED AIR
SYSTEM
ŶProper functioning of the fastener driving tool requires
filtered, dry and lubricated compressed air in adequate
quantities.
ŶIf the air pressure in the line system exceeds the
maximum allowable pressure of the fastener driving
tool, a pressure reducing valve followed by a
downstream safety valve shall additionally be fitted in
the supply line to the tool.
ŶThe compressor plant shall be adequately
dimensioned in terms of pressure output and
performance (volumetric flow) for the consumption
which is to be expected. Line sections which are too
small in relation to the length of the line (pipes and
hoses), as well as overloading the compressor, will
result in pressure drops.
ŶPermanently laid compressed air pipelines should
have an internal diameter of at least 19 mm and a
corresponding large diameter where relatively long
pipelines or multiple users are involved.
ŶCompressed air pipelines should be laid so as to
form a gradient (highest point in the direction to the
compressor). Easily accessible water separators
should be installed at the lowest points.
ŶJunctions for users should be joined to the pipelines
from above,
ŶConnecting points for fastener driving tools should be
fitted with a compressed air servicing unit (filter/water
separator/oiler) directly at the junction point.

based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing,
the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool
operation. We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or
permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather
lubricant.
WARNING
Do not store tools in a cold weather environment to
prevent frost or ice formation on the tools’ operating
valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful
to “O” rings and seals. Do not use these low temperature
air dryers without checking compatibility.
AIR SUPPLY PRESSURE AND VOLUME
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume
supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of

from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though
the pressure reading is high. The results will be a slow
operation or reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool
problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from
the tool to the supply source for restrictive connectors,
low points containing water and anything else that would

REQUIRED DAILY CHECKLIST
1. Disconnect the air supply from the tool and remove
all fasteners.
2. Check all screws, nuts, bolts, and pins on the tool. If
any of these are loose, they must be tightened with the
appropriate size wrench.
3. Hold the tool with the nose pressed against a
workpiece.
4. Press the trigger lock and then squeeze the trigger.
The trigger lock and trigger should move smoothly,
without binding.
5. While the tool is not loaded, connect the appropriate
air supply at 4.8 bar (70 psi) to the tool.
ƔWithout pulling the trigger, press the nose against
a workpiece several times. The tool must not
operate.
ƔHold the tool with the nose against the workpiece.
Pull the trigger lock and then squeeze the trigger.
The tool must operate.
ƔWith the nose still engaged on the workpiece,
release the trigger. The driver must return to its up
position. Without pulling the trigger lock, press the
trigger several times. The tool must not operate.
6. If the tool successfully meets all the requirements
in this checklist, it is ready for use. Load the proper
fasteners for the desired application.
WARNING
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use
of attachments or accessories not recommended can
result in serious personal injury.

LUBRICATION

recommended (Fig. 10) as it increases product life and keeps
the product in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator
VKRXOGEHUHJXODUO\FKHFNHGDQG¿OOHGZLWKDLUWRRORLO
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by
placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and
actuate the tool 10 - 15 times without fasteners loaded.
The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil
collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be
avoided.
If it becomes necessary to store the product for an extended
period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive
a generous amount of lubrication at that time. Actuate the
tool 10 - 15 times without fasteners loaded to ensure oil
has been evenly distributed throughout the product. The
product should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
ƔIt is most important that the product be properly
lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator filled
and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication
the product will not work properly and parts will
wear prematurely.
ƔUse correct lubricant in the air line lubricator. The
lubricator should be of low air flow or changing air
flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct
level. Use only recommended lubricants, specially
made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes
may harm the rubber compounds in the product's
O-rings and other rubber parts.
