SAFETY INTRODUCTION
Hello! Thank you for purchasing the WEN Brad Nailer. Safe operation of this pneumatic tool requires that you
read and understand this operator’s manual and all labels affixed to the tool. Safety is a combination of common
sense, staying alert, and knowing how your tool works.
The purpose of the following safety symbol is to attract your attention to possible dangers. We don’t want any of
our beloved WEN customers accidentally injuring themselves. The safety symbols and the explanations with them
deserve your careful attention and understanding.
Safety Alert Symbol: Indicates danger, warning, or caution. This may be used in conjunction with other
symbols. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury. However, please note that the safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. These
instructions and warnings are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have thoroughly read and understood all instructions,
safety rules, etc., contained in this manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or
serious personal injury. Save this operator’s manual and review frequently for continuing safe operation and instruct-
ing others who may use this tool.

SAFETY RULES
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not use your tool until the following steps have
been read and understood
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual, no matter how boring it may be. LEARN the
tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards.
2. ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well lit. DO NOT work on floor surfaces that are
slippery with sawdust or wax.
3. DO NOT USE THE TOOL in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a
spark that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail may also cause a spark.
4. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE from the work area, especially when the tool is operating.
NEVER allow children or pets near the tool.
5. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS remove
starter keys. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked away in a safe place.
6. DRESS FOR SAFETY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when
operating the tool. Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts and draw you in. ALWAYS
wear non-slip footwear and tie back long hair.
7. USE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
• Everyone in the work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields that conform to ANSI Z87.1
requirements (approved glasses have “Z87” printed or stamped on them). It is the employer’s responsibility to
enforce the use of eye protection equipment by both the tool operator and others in the work area.
• Wear a face mask or dust mask to fight the debris produced by operation.
• Wear ear protection such as plugs or muffs to fight hearing loss.
• Wear work gloves to protect your hands.
8. KEEP ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that may affect your ability to properly use the tool.
9. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled
footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.
10. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.
11. INSPECT TOOL BEFORE USE. Do not operate if any portion of the tool, trigger, or safety bracket is dam-
aged, inoperable, disconnected, or altered. Leaking air, damaged parts, or missing parts should be repaired or
replaced before use
12. WHEN CONNECTING TO THE AIR SUPPLY, the tool is at risk of possibly firing fasteners. Be aware of
this and do not aim the gun at anything you do not want to shoot a nail into.

SAFETY RULES
13. USE ONLY clean dry and regulated air. Condensation from an air compressor can rust and damage the
internal workings of the tool.
14. DO NOT USE BOTTLED GASES to power this tool. Bottled compressed gases including but not limited to
oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, propane, acetylene or air are not for use with pneumatic tools. Never
use combustible gases or any other reactive gas as a power source for this tool. DANGER OF EXPLOSION
AND/OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.
15. REGULATE AIR PRESSURE. Use air pressure that is compatible with the ratings on the nameplate of the
tool (60 to 100 PSI). DANGER - never let the air pressure go above 120 PSI. Never connect to a compressor
rated above 175 PSI.
16. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. When using an air compressor outdoors, use only rounded jackets
extensions cords. These are intended for outside use. See manufacturer’s manual for the AWG required for the
compressor’s amperage draw.
17. ALWAYS USE an air hose that is rated at a maximum working pressure of at least 150 PSI (10.3 bar) or
150% of the maximum system pressure (whichever is higher).
18. PAY ATTENTION TO AIR HOSE AND THEIR CONNECTIONS. Don’t trip over the hoses. Also,
make sure the connections are nice and tight. Use appropriate hose tape to prevent leaking.
19. MAKE SURE HOSE is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses can cause a loss of balance.
20. USE COUPLINGS that relieve all pressure from the tool when it is disconnected from the power supply. Use
hose connectors that shut off the air supply from the compressor when the tool is disconnected.
21. LOAD FASTENERS AFTER connecting the tool to the air supply. Otherwise, fasteners are at risk of being
fired during connection. The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when it is connected to the air supply.
22. DO NOT DEPRESS THE SAFETY BRACKET OR THE TRIGGER WHEN LOADING.
23. ALWAYS ASSUME that the tool contains fasteners. Do not point the tool at coworkers or yourself at any
time, nails may be fired unintentionally and cause serious injury.
24. DO NOT DISCHARGE fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any
material too hard for the fastener to penetrate.
25. Do not use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer. Discharged fasteners may follow unexpected paths
and cause bodily injury.
26. KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS CLEAR of immediate work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when
necessary to keep body parts out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the
nailer against the material. The safety bracket may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.
27. GRIP THE TOOL FIRMLY with both hands to maintain control while still allowing it to recoil away from
the work surface as the fastener is driven.
