Personal Safety
 Stay alert, watch what you are
doing, and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alco-
hol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious
personal injury.

 Never use tool in an explosive
atmosphere or in the presence
of combustible materials such as
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
 Never use oxygen, carbon
dioxide or any other bottled gas
as a power source for this tool;
the tool will explode and cause
serious injury.
 Always remove nger from trig-
ger when not driving fasteners.
Never carry the tool with nger
on or under trigger.

 Always assume the tool con-
tains fasteners. No horseplay.
Respect the tool as a working
implement.
 Keep tool pointed away from
yourself and others and connect
air to tool.
 Tools shall be operated at the
lowest pressure needed for the
application. This will reduce
noise levels, part wear, and
energy use.


 Drive fasteners into work surface
only; never into materials too
hard to penetrate.
 Do not drive fasteners on top of
other fasteners or with the tool
at too steep of an angle; the
fasteners can ricochet and hurt
someone.
 Do not drive fasteners close to
the edge of the work surface.
The workpiece is likely to split
and the fastener could fly free or
ricochet and hit someone.
 Tool may eject a fastener when
connected to air supply; there-
fore, remove all fasteners from
tool before connecting air.
 Never use tool if trigger or
springs have become inopera-
ble, missing or damaged. Do not
tamper with or remove trigger or
springs.
 Disconnect tool from air before
doing tool maintenance, clearing
a jammed fastener, leaving work
area, moving tool to another
location, or handing the tool to
another person.

are securely tightened at all
times. Make daily inspections for
free movement of trigger. Never
use the tool if parts are missing
or damaged.
 Never use a tool that leaks air or
needs repair.
®

compressed air to this tool must
comply with requirement ANSI/
ASME B 19.1–1995 (U.S.),
“Safety Standard For Air Com-
pressor Systems.”
 Air hose must have a minimum
working pressure rating of 150
psig (10.3 bar) or 150% of the
maximum pressure produced in
the system, whichever is higher.
