IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
6
TOOL SAFETY
1. THIS TOOL IS DESIGNED for household use only, not for industrial or professional purposes. Do not force
the tool to do a job for which it was not designed.
2. INSPECT TOOL BEFORE USE. Do not operate if any portion of the tool, trigger, or safety bracket is damaged,
inoperable, disconnected, or altered. Leaking air, damaged parts, or missing parts should be repaired or replaced.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. DO NOT DISCHARGE FASTENERS into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any
material too hard for the fastener to penetrate.
6. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS near the edge of your work material. The workpiece may split, causing the
fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a bystander. Be aware that the fastener may follow the grain of the wood, causing
it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the fastener perpendicular to the grain to
reduce risk of injury.
7. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS onto the heads of other fasteners. Do not use the tool at too steep of an angle.
Personal injury from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricochetted nails may result.
8. BE AWARE OF MATERIAL THICKNESS when using the nailer. A protruding nail may cause injury.
9. WHEN THE TOOL IS BEING UTILIZED AT PRESSURES ON THE HIGH END of its operating range,
fasteners can be driven completely through thin or very soft work material. Make sure the pressure in the compressor
is set so that fasteners are set into the material and not pushed completely through.
10. REMOVE FINGER FROM TRIGGER when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with your finger on
the trigger.
11. IF THE FASTENERS ARE JAMMED, disconnect the tool from the air supply first before removing the
jammed fasteners.
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.
13. DO NOT REMOVE, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger or safety bracket to become inoperable.
Do not tape or tie the trigger or safety bracket in the ON position. Do not remove springs from the safety bracket.
Make daily inspections for free movement of the trigger and safety bracket. Do not alter or modify the tool in any
way.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instructions
for lubricating, changing accessories and storage.
