IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,

ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

WARNING – When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

General

To reduce the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons,

read all the instructions before using the tool.

Work area

a.

Keep the work area clean and well lighted.

Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the

risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.

b.

Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids,

gases, or dust. The tool is able to create sparks

resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.

c. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away

while operating the tool. Distractions are able

to result in the loss of control of the tool.

Personal safety

a. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating the tool.

Do not use the tool while tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating the

tool increases the risk of injury to persons.

b.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to

persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.

c.

Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the

trigger is released before connecting to

the air supply. Do not carry the tool with

your finger on the trigger or connect the tool

to the air supply with the trigger pressed.

d.

Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables better

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

e.

Use safety equipment.

A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and

a hard hat must be used for the

applicable conditions. Wear heavy-duty

work gloves during use.

f.

Always wear eye protection.

Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles

with side shields.

g.

Always wear hearing protection when

using the tool. Prolonged exposure to

high intensity noise is able to

cause hearing loss.

h.

Do not attach the hose or tool to your body.

Attach the hose to the structure to reduce the

risk of loss of balance if the hose shifts.

i.

Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.

Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone

whether it contains fasteners or not.

j.

WARNING – Do not fire fastener on top of another

fastener. This is able to cause the fastener to be

deflected and hit someone, or cause the tool to

react and result in a risk of injury to persons.

k.

WARNING – Remove finger from the trigger when

not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with

finger on trigger, the tool is able to fire a fastener.
