g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch,
numbness, tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a
chronic condition. If necessary limit the length of time exposed to vibration. Use the
figures provided in the specification relating to vibration if provided to calculate the
duration and frequency of operating the tool. The 2002/44/EC directive relating to
vibration in the workplace may provide useful information even for domestic use
of tools. In the first instance of feeling uncomfortable due to vibration STOP using
the tool immediately.
WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A)
and limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable even
with ear protection stop using the tool immediately and check the ear protection
is correctly fitted and provides the right level of sound attenuation for the level of
sound produced by your tool.
3) Tool use and care
a) Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
b) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
c) Use the tool’s accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions,taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
4) Service
a) Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.
Air Tool Safety
Protect your eyes
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
Protect your hearing
• Always wear ear protection
Protection from vibration
• Hand-held air tools may produce vibration and should not be used for long
periods without a break. Vibration can cause ill health. Gloves may help to
maintain good blood circulation in the fingers.
Protective clothing
• Always wear appropriate protective equipment including but not limited to
overalls, gloves, face mask etc
• It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that other persons in the vicinity of the
work area are also equipped with the appropriate protective equipment
Use the correct air hose
• Use lightweight hose to connect the tool to the air compressor
• Most air tools should be fitted with a coil hose.
Always disconnect
• Ensure that your air tool has completely stopped functioning before putting
it down
• Disconnect an air tool from the air supply before performing any servicing, or
changing any blades, discs, or other attachments
• Ensure blades, discs or attachments are correctly fitted before reconnecting
to air supply
• Ensure the air tool is switched OFF before connecting to air supply.
Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always
bleed air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply
Do not abuse the machine
• Do not overload the machine. Allowing the machine to work at its optimum
speed is more efficient and prolongs its service life
• Do not increase air pressure above the recommended level; excessive pressure
leads to wear of moving parts, possible failure and may cause the machine
casing to split
• Do not attempt to modify air tools. Any attempt to modify this air tool could
result in serious injury to you or others, and will invalidate
its warranty
• Do not aim the nailer away from the workpiece when connected to an air supply
• Never operate the tool with the safety mechanism disabled
• Never aim the tool towards other people in the work area or towards the main
reservoir tank of the air compressor
• Do not operate the nailer when using ladders or scaffolding
• Never connect this tool to canisters or bottles containing combustible gases or
portable compressed air canisters or cartridges. It is designed to be used with
an air compressor
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features
and functions.
• Ensure that all parts of your nailer are present and in good condition. If any
part is missing, or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to
use this tool
Before Use
Installing the quick connector
• Fit the Quick Connector (2) to the nailer. The quick connector is a screw fit into
the Air Inlet. Applying PTFE tape to the screw threads will help to maintain an
airtight seal. Air lines fitted with matching ¼" connectors will now be a push fit
Recommended air supply
• This tool should be connected to a clean air supply with an in-line oiler and
water separator
• DO NOT allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated in
the specification
• Always select the lowest supply pressure suitable for the task. This will reduce
sound and vibration for the operator. It will also decrease wear of the tool and
the chance of tool failure
• Always use an air filter with the machine. Without an air filter, air is likely to
have a higher water content that will rapidly corrode the internal working parts
of this machine and will shorten its working life significantly. Water collects in
the compressor tank and will cause serious corrosion. The tank must be drained
on a daily basis to prevent water build-up in the air supply
• Ensure all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly rated for the
air pressure to be used
• If an automatic oiler (as per diagram below) is not used, pour two drops of air
tool oil into the air inlet of the quick connector before each use
CAUTION: Only use oil formulated for air or pneumatic tools. Never substitute other
oils which may damage this tool and the compressor or are not suitable for contact
with the operator of the tool. DO NOT use 2-stroke or automotive oil.
