• Do not use bottled gases to power this tool. Bottled
compressed gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen, hydrogen, propane, acetylene or air are not
for use with pneumatic tools. Never use combustible
gases or any other reactive gas as a power source for
this tool. Danger of explosion and/or serious personal
injury may result. (Fig. E)
• Use couplings that relieve all pressure from the tool when
it is disconnected from the power supply. Use hose
connectors that shut off air supply from compressor
when the tool is disconnected. (Fig. F)
• Disconnect tool from air supply when not in use. Always
disconnect tool from air supply and remove fasteners
from magazine before leaving the area or passing the
tool to another operator. Do not carry tool to another
work area in which changing location involves the
use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like, with
air supply connected. Do not make adjustments,
remove magazine, perform maintenance or clear
jammed fasteners while connected to the air supply.
(Fig. G)
• Connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners to
prevent a fastener from being fired during connection.
The tool driving mechanism may cycle when tool is
connected to the air supply. Do not load fasteners
with trigger or safety trigger depressed to prevent
unintentional firing of a fastener.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the
tool or trigger to become inoperable. Do not tape or
tie trigger in the on position. Make daily inspections for
free movement of trigger. Uncontrolled discharge could
result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if
any portion of the tool or trigger is inoperable,
disconnected, altered, or not working properly.
Leaking air, damaged parts or missing parts should
be repaired or replaced before use. Refer to Repairs.
(Fig. H)
• Do not alter or modify the tool in any way. (Fig. I)
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any
time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a
working implement. (Fig. J)
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked
in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
• Remove finger from trigger when not driving
fasteners.
• Never carry tool with finger on trigger. Accidental
discharge could result.
