Model H8234 28° Framing Nailer -3 -
additional safety instructions for nailers
1. hand inJuries: Do not place your
hands near the nail point of entry. A
nail can deflect and tear through the
surface of the workpiece, puncturing
your hand or fingers.
2. combustible gases: Never con-
nect the nailer to pressurized oxy-
gen or other combustible gases as a
power source
. Only use filtered, lubri-
cated, and regulated compressed air.
3. safe handling: Never point the
nailer at others! Do not keep the trig-
ger pulled when loading fasteners,
carrying, or holding tool. Carry the
nailer only by the handle, never by
any other part. Do not carry the nailer
by the air hose. Disconnect the nailer
from the air hose when going up and
down ladders.
4. modifications: DO NOT modify
this tool or bypass the safety nose
mechanism.
5. checK valve: Do not use a check
valve or any other fitting that allows
air to remain in the tool.
6. hose usage: Make sure your air
hose is designed for the tool in use, is
in good condition, and is long enough
to reach your work without stretching.
However, an overly long air hose in
the work area may be a tripping haz-
ard.
7. operating Questions: If you
are not sure about the intended oper-
ation, stop using the nailer. Seek
formal training.
8. cleaning: Never use gasoline or
other flammable liquids to clean the
nailer; vapors in the nailer will ignite
by a spark and cause it to explode.
9. maintenance: Always disconnect
air from the nailer when servicing or
installing nails. During maintenance,
a nailer connected to air may fire acci-
dentally, causing serious personal
injury.
10. compressed air rating: Do
not connect the nailer to compressed
air that exceeds 120 PSI.
