2. EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN
SOME ENVIRONMENTS
As the working condition may include
exposure to high noise levels which can lead
to hearing damage, the employer and user
should ensure that any necessary hearing
protection is provided and used by the
operator and others in the work area.
3. DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE
EXCEPT AN AIR COMPRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on
compressed air. Do not operate the tool on
any other highpressure gas, combustible
gases (e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since
there is the danger of an explosion. For this
reason, absolutely do not use anything other
than an air compressor to operate the tool.
4. OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR
PRESSURE RANGE
The tool is designed to operate within an air
pressure range of 70 to 100 p.s.i. (5 to 7 bar).
The pressure should be adjusted to the type
of the work being fastened. The tool shall
never be operated when the operating
pressure exceeds 120 p.s.i. (8 bar).
Never connect the tool to air pressure which
potentially exceeds 200 p.s.i. (14 bar) as the
tool can burst.
5. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A
FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable
substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.).
Volatile fumes from these substances could
be drawn into the compressor and
compressed together with the air and this
could result in an explosion.
6. DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold
pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a
wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain
charged with air after disconnecting and thus
will be able to drive a fastener even after the
air line is disconnected, possibly causing
injury.
7. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND
EMPTY THE MAGAZINE WHEN THE TOOL
IS NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool
and empty the magazine when operation has
been completed or suspended, when
unattended, moving to a different work area,
adjusting, disassembling, or repairing the tool,
and when clearing a jammed fastener. 5
