impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
18. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must
be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the compressor without
heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical
damage to the tool. Check your air compressor’s manual for the appropriate size cord.
It is also possible that the use of an extension cord may cause your circuit breaker to
trip or your panel fuse to break. If this happens, either use the compressor without
an extension cord or find a larger amperage circuit to use.
19. Maintenance. The maintenance outlined in the maintenance section should be
performed regularly. For your safety, this product should be serviced or repaired
regularly only by a qualified technician.
20. Compressed air only. Never use combustible gas as a power source.
21. Do not load nails with the trigger or safety depressed. Unintentional
firing may occur. Do not load nails when the air hose is connected to the
tool. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
22. Disconnect air supply before loading Nailer. Before reloading (or making any
adjustments to) the Nailer make sure that the compressed air is disconnected.
23. Fire nails into an appropriate work surface only. Do not attempt to fire nails into
surfaces too hard to penetrate. Do not drive nails on top of other nails, or at too steep
of an angle. Nails can ricochet causing personal injury. Never fire the Nailer into the
air, or point it toward yourself or another person. Always wear ANSI approved safety
goggles during use, maintenance, and reloading.
24. Do not fire nails too close to the edge of a workpiece. They may split the workpiece
and fly free, causing personal injury.
25. Take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper chromium
arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When or nailing these materials extra care
should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contain chemicals known [to the State of California] to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq. )
26. Stay within air pressure capacity. Never operate the Nailer above 125 PSI.
27. Hold tool away from head and body. During operation the Nailer may kick back
causing injury.
28. Transport Nailer safely. Always disconnect air supply when moving the tool in the
