.
Operating Pressure
80 to 100p.s.i.g. (5.5 to 6.9kg/cm²). Select the operating
pressure within this range for best pin performance. DONOT
EXCEED THIS RECOMMENDED OPERATINGPRESSURE.
Air Consumption
Model CMPCS38 requires 0.41 cubic feet per min (c.f.m.) of
free air to operate at the rate of 100 fasteners per minute,
at 100 p.s.i.g. (6.9 bars). Take the actual rate at which the
tool will be run to determine the amount of air required. For
instance, if your fastener usage averages 50 fasteners per
minute, you need 50% of the tool’s c.f.m. of free air which is
required for running at 100 fasteners per minute.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicalsare:
• lead from lead‑based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from
chemically‑treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopicparticles.
• Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of
harmfulchemicals. Direct particles away from face andbody.
• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to
the operator and those in closeproximity.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss ofcontrol andinjury.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in movingparts.
