Air Supply And Connections - Ridgid R350Mpf Manuel D'utilisation

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
„ Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
„ Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or
footing and may become damaged.
„ Use the pneumatic tool only for the purpose for which
it was designed. Do not discharge fasteners into open air.
„ Do not use hardened nails in this tool.
„ Use only the fasteners recommended for this tool.
„ Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a
fastener to be directed toward anything other than
the workpiece.
„ Do not use the tool as a hammer.
„ Always carry the tool by the designated gripping area.
Never carry the tool by the air hose.
„ Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design
or function without approval from the manufacturer.
„ Always be aware that misuse and improper handling
of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
„ Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose at-
tached.
„ Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible
warning label.
„ Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air or does
not function properly.
OPERATION
„ Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
„ Always handle the tool with care:
• Respect the tool as a working implement.
• Never engage in horseplay.
• Never press the nosepiece or nail unless directed to-
ward the work surface.
• Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool is in
operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly
causing injury.
„ This tool is designed for single-hand use. Do not put
hands, head, or other parts of your body near the nose-
piece where the nail exits the tool, as serious personal
injury could result.
„ Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
„ Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a
fastener into the workpiece.
„ Always know what is behind the work material, and
consider if the nail is longer than the work material.
„ Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully posi-
tioned above the workpiece. Positioning the workpiece
contact only partially above the workpiece could cause
the fastener to miss the workpiece completely and result
in serious personal injury.
„ Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The work-
piece may split causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring
you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail may follow the
grain of the wood, causing it to protrude unexpectedly
from the side of the work material.
„ Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to
keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the
workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer
against the material. The workpiece contact may cause
the work material to shift unexpectedly.
„ Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool
cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil
can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing
into hard or dense material.
„ During normal use the tool will recoil while driving a
fastener into the work surface. This is a normal func-
tion of the tool. Grip the tool firmly, let the tool do the
work and do not place a second hand on top of the tool,
near exhaust, fastener, or nosepiece at any time. 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.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS

„ Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool as tool will ex-
plode, possibly causing injury or death.
„ Do not use with an air compressor which can po-
tentially 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 dis-
connecting 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.
