EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against flying
particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and others in the work
area when loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying
fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection equipment
must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1-1979 and
provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do
not provide adequate protection.
EAR PROTECTION may be required in some environments. As the working area may include exposure
to high noise levels which can lead to hearing damage, the employer and user should ensure that any
necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the operator and others in the work area.
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool may
explode, possibly causing injury.
Do not use supply sources which can potentially exceed 200 P.S.I.G. as tool may burst, possibly causing
injury.
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting
is used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener
even after the air line is disconnected, possibly causing injury.
Do not pull the trigger or depress the contact trip while connecting the tool to the air supply as the tool
may cycle, possibly causing injury.
Always disconnect air supply: 1.) Before making adjustments; 2.) When servicing the tool; 3.) When clearing
a jam; 4.) When tool is not in use; 5.) When moving to a different work area, as accidental actuation may
occur, possibly causing injury.
LOADING TOOL
When loading tool: 1.) Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of tool; 2.) Never
point tool at anyone; 3.) Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip as accidental actuation may occur,
possibly causing injury.
OPERATION
Always handle the tool with care: 1.) Never engage in horseplay; 2.) Never pull the trigger unless nose
is directed toward the work; 3.) Keep other persons a safe distance from the tool while tool is in opera¬
tion as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
The operator must not hold the trigger pulled on contact trip tools except during fastening operation
as serious injury could result if the trip accidentally contacted someone or something, causing the tool
to cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact trip tool may bounce from
the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
Check operation of the contact trip mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if the trip is not working
correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper operation of
the contact trip mechanism.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners as this may cause deflection of fasteners which could
cause injury.
MAINTAINING THE TOOL
When working on air tools note the warnings in this manual and use extra care when evaluating problem
tools.
