SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately 
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of 
the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding 
the nailer against the work. Restriction to the recoil can 
result in a second fastener being driven from the nailer. 
Grip the handle firmly and let the tool do the work. Failure 
to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with 
the tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause 
deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the 
workpiece as the wood may split, allowing the fastener 
to be deflected possibly causing injury. 
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled gases 
as a power source for this tool as tool will explode, 
possibly causing injury or death.
Do not use with an air compressor which can potentially 
exceed 200 psi, as tool may burst, possibly causing 
injury. 
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when 
air supply is disconnected. If an incorrect 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.
Always disconnect air supply:
• Before making adjustments
• When servicing the tool
• When clearing a jam
• When tool is not in use
• When moving to a different work area, as accidental 
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
LOADING TOOL
Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of
the operating controls is activated.
When loading tool: 
	
Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener 
discharge area of tool.
Never point tool at anyone.
Do not pull the trigger or depress the workpiece 
contact as accidental actuation may occur, possibly 
causing injury.
