SAFETY RULES
12. DISCONNECT tool from air supply when not in use. Remove fasteners from magazine before leaving the area
or passing the tool to another operator. Do not climb ladders, stairs, scaffoldings, etc. without disconnecting the
tool. Do not carry a connected tool to another work area. Do not make adjustments, remove magazine, perform
maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while connected to the air supply. If the contact trip is adjusted when the
tool is connected to the air supply with loaded nails, accidental discharge may occur.
13. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS before 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.
Do not load fasteners when the trigger or the safety is pressed down in order to prevent unintentional firings of a
fastener.
14. DO NOT REMOVE, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger or contact trip to become inoperable.
Do not tape or tie the trigger or contact trip in the ON position. Do not remove springs from the contact trip. Make
daily inspections for free movement of the trigger and contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge may result. Do not alter
or modify the tool in any way.
15. 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.
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool before use. Do not operate if any portion of the tool, trigger,
or contact trip is damaged, inoperable, disconnected, or altered. Leaking air, damaged parts, or missing parts should
be repaired or replaced before use.
17. ALWAYS ASSUME that the tool contains fasteners. Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any time,
even if you think it will be really funny.
18. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS remove
starter keys. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while oeprating 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.
19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may affect your
ability to properly use the tool.
20. REMOVE FINGER FROM TRIGGER when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with your finger on
the trigger.
21. MAKE SURE HOSE is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses can cause a loss of balance.
22. DO NOT DISCHARGE fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any material
too hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do not use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer. Discharged fasteners
may follow unexpected paths and cause bodily injury.
23. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS near the edge of your work material. The workpiece may split, causing the
fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail may follow the grain of the wood, causing
it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce
risk of injury.
24. DO NOT DRIVE NAILS onto the heads of other fasteners. Do not use the tool at too steep
