tool life. Do not exceed the recommended max.
operating pressure. The tool should not be
connected to a source whose pressure
potentially exceeds 14.0 kgf/cm
13. Never use the tool with other than compressed
air. If bottled gas (carbon dioxide, oxygen,
nitrogen, hydrogen, air, etc.) or combustible
gas (hydrogen, propane, acetylene, etc.) is
used as a power source for this tool, the tool
will explode and cause serious injury.
14. Always check the tool for its overall condition
and loose screws before operation. Tighten as
required.
15. Make sure all safety systems are in working
order before operation. The tool must not
operate if only the trigger is pulled or if only
the contact element is pressed against the
wood. It must work only when both actions are
performed. Test for possible faulty operation
with nails unloaded and the contact element in
fully pulled position.
16. Make sure that the trigger is locked when the
change lever is set to the LOCK position.

with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
when working in high locations, and secure
the air hose to prevent danger if there is
sudden jerking or catching.
22. On rooftops and other high locations, nail as
you move forward. It is easy to lose your
footing if you nail while inching backward.
When nailing against perpendicular surface,
nail from the top to the bottom. You can
perform nailing operations with less fatigue by
doing so.
23. A nail will be bent or the tool can become
jammed if you mistakenly nail on top of
another nail or strike a knot in the wood. The
nail may be thrown and hit someone, or the
