PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE TOOL

!

1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES

Danger to the eyes always exists due to the possibility of dust being blown up by the
exhausted air or of a fastener flying up due to the improper handling of the tool. For these
reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall always be worn when operating the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
equipment must conform to the requirements of the American National Standards Institute,
ANSI Z87.1 (Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 DEC. 1989) and provide both frontal and
side protection.

The employer is responsible to enforce the use of eye protection equipment by the tool
operator and all other personnel in the work area.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate

protection.

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. WHEN USING THE TOOL, BE SURE TO USE A SPECIAL AIR COMPRESSOR AND AIR

HOSE
In order to improve its performance, it has set its working pressure higher than the
conventional nailers. To use the tool, you always need the special air compressor and air
hose. Use of combusible pressure gas (for example, oxygen, acetylene, etc.) causes
abnormal combustion, possibly resulting in explosion. Use only the special air compressor
and air hose.

4. OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE RANGE

The tool is designed to operate within an air pressure range of 170 to 320 p.s.i. (12 to 23
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 320 p.s.i. (23 bar.)

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.
