SAFETY RULES
of an angle. Personal injury from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or richocheted nails may result.
25. BE AWARE of material thickness when using the nailer. A protruding nail may cause injury.
26. KNOW that when the tool is being utilized at pressures on the high end of its oeprating range, nails can be
driven completely through thin or very soft work material. Make sure the pressure in the compressor is set so that
nails are set into the material and not pushed completely through.
27. 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 contact trip may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.
28. 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.
29. KEEP FACE AND BODY PARTS away from the back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas.
Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing into hard or dense material.
30. GRIP THE TOOL FIRMLY to maintain control while still allowing it to recoil away from the work surface as
the fastener is driven. In bump action mode (contact actuation mode), allowing the contact trip to recontact the work
surface before the trigger is released will fire an unwanted fastener.
31. KEEP ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired.
32. 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.
33. PAY ATTENTION TO AIR HOSE AND THEIR CONNECTIONS. Don’t trip over the hoses. It isn’t fun.
Also, make sure the connections are nice and tight.
34. WHEN CONNECTING TO THE AIR SUPPLY, the tool is at risk of possibly firing fasteners. Therefore,
remove all the fasteners before connecting to the air.
35. DO NOT DEPRESS THE CONTACT TRIP OR THE TRIGGER WHEN LOADING.
36. IF THE FASTENERS ARE JAMMED, disconnect the tool from the air supply first before removing the
jammed fasteners.
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions explained in this manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that COMMON SENSE AND
CAUTION ARE FACTORS WHICH CANNOT BE BUILT INTO THIS PRODUCT, BUT MUST BE
SUPPLIED BY THE OPERATOR. So don’t do anything stupid.
