Snap-On 870010 - Manual (Page 4)

Do not connect round head nailer to an air source capable of gen-
erating more than 200 psi (14.06 kg/cm
2 G). Over-pressurizing the
round head nailer will result in bursting, abnormal operation or
breakage of the tool. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air
at levels specified on the tool. Failure to comply can cause severe injury or
death to the operator or bystanders.
Do not attempt to fasten the trigger in the “ON” position. This could lead to
an accidental discharge of the round head nailer. Do not operate the round head
nailer if any portion of the tool’s operating controls are inoperable, disconnect-
ed, altered in any way or not in proper working order. Failure to comply with this
warning could result in serious injury or even death to the operator or other
bystanders.
All air compressors must comply with the requirements of ANSI
b19.3. Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure where
air supply pressure exceeds the tool’s rated operating pressure.
Do not carry the round head nailer with a finger on the trigger. This could lead
to an accidental discharge of the round head nailer. Do not press the trigger of
the round head nailer unless it is pressed firmly against the work piece. Do not
point the round head nailer at yourself or in the direction of another person.
Failure to comply with this warning could result in serious injury or even death
to the operator or other bystanders.
Do not tamper with the work piece contact. The work piece contact prevents
accidental discharge of the round head nailer and should never be removed or
compromised in any way. Failure to comply with this warning could result in
serious injury or even death to the operator or other bystanders.
Always disconnect air hose and remove any remaining nails:
1. When round head nailer is left unattended.
2. Before performing any maintenance or repair on the round head nailer.
3. Before attempting to clear a jam in the round head nailer.
4. Before moving the round head nailer to a new location.
Always check the overall condition of the round head nailer before using.
Check for and tighten any loose screws. Ensure all safety systems are in work-
ing condition before using the round head nailer. The round head nailer must
not operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only the work piece contact is
pressed against the work piece. The round head nailer must only be used if both
the trigger and work piece contact work at the same time.
Always use hearing protection to protect your ears against
hearing loss due to exhaust noise. Always wear proper safe-
ty glasses to prevent injuries to the eyes from fragments of
the work piece, defective nails or other debris caused by using the round
head nailer. All safety glasses must have side shields and should conform to
the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) z87.1.
Failure to comply with this warning could lead to serious or permanent damage
to the ears as well as serious damage or permanent blindness in the eyes.
Never carry the round head nailer by the air hose. A sudden disconnection of
the air hose could cause the round head nailer to remain charged and an acci-
dental firing could occur. Failure to comply with this warning could lead to seri-
ous injury to the operator or bystanders.
Always disconnect the power source and ensure the tool is not charged
before loading fasteners. Failure to comply with this warning could cause
severe injury or death to the operator, bystanders and severe damage to the
round head nailer.
Never use a non-relieving air coupler with the round head nailer. Always use
couplers that release any built-up charge in the round head nailer’s firing mech-
anism. A non-relieving air coupler can allow the round head nailer to discharge
a fastener while the tool is disconnected from the power source. Failure to com-
ply with this warning can result in serious or permanent injury or even death to
the operator or to bystanders.
Do not drive nails on top of other nails. Do not operate the round head nailer
at too steep of an angle. Nails can ricochet. Failure to comply with this warning
can result in serious injury or even death to the operator or bystanders.
Do not modify the round head nailer in any way. Unauthorized alterations can
jeopardize safety in the tool’s operation. Failure to follow this precaution can
result in serious injury or even death to the operator or bystanders.
On rooftops and other high locations, always move forward as you use the
round head nailer. You can easily loose your footing if moving backwards.
When nailing against a perpendicular surface, nail from the top down. This
causes less fatigue and reduces the chances of accidents.
Ensure the work area is sufficiently illuminated to operate power tools. The
work area should be clear and free of litter.
