1. USE SAFETY GLASSES. To prevent
eye injuries, the tool operator and all
persons in the work area must wear safety
glasses with permanently attached, rigid,
plastic side shields. These safety glasses
must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements
(approved glasses have “Z87” printed or
stamped on them). Fig. 1.
2. WEAR EAR PROTECTION to safe-
guard against possible hearing loss. Fig. 1.
3. USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED
compressed air at 70 to 120 PSI, (4.8 to 8.3
BAR). Fig. 2.
4. DO NOT CONNECT TOOL TO
pressure which potentially exceeds 200 PSI
(13.7 BAR).
5. ONLY USE AIR HOSE THAT IS RATED
for a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI
or 150% of the maximum system pressure,
which ever is greater.
6. NEVER USE OXYGEN, CARBON
DIOXIDE, combustible gases or any other
bottled gas as a power source for this tool:
explosion and serious personal injury could
result. Fig. 3.
7. CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY
HOSE with a coupling that removes all
pressure from the tool when the coupling is
disconnected. Fig. 4.

8. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR
SUPPLY HOSE before doing tool
maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener,
leaving work area, moving tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another
person.
9. NEVER USE A TOOL that is leaking air,
has missing or damaged parts, or requires
repair. Make sure all screws and caps are
securely tightened.
10. NEVER USE TOOL IF SAFETY, trigger
or springs are inoperable, missing or
damaged. Do not alter or remove safety,
trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections
for free movement of trigger and safety
mechanism. Fig. 5.
11. DO NOT USE TOOL WITHOUT
SAFETY WARNING LABEL. If label is
missing, damaged or unreadable, contact
your Porter-Cable Service Center for a
replacement. Fig. 6.
12. ONLY USE PARTS, FASTENERS, AND
ACCESSORIES recommended by Porter-
Cable.
13. 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. Fig. 7.
14. ALWAYS ASSUME THE TOOL
CONTAINS FASTENERS. Keep the tool
pointed away from yourself and others at all
times. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a
working implement. Fig. 8.
15. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS with
trigger or safety depressed, to prevent
unintentional firing of a fastener. Fig. 9.

16. REMOVE FINGER FROM TRIGGER
when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool
with finger on trigger: tool may fire a fastener
if safety is bumped while trigger is
depressed. Fig. 10.
17. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times when using
or handling the tool. Fig. 11.
18. FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK
SURFACE ONLY: never into materials too
hard to penetrate.
19. GRIP TOOL FIRMLY TO MAINTAIN
CONTROL WHILE allowing tool to recoil
away from work surface as fastener is driven.
If safety element is allowed to recontact work
surface before trigger is released, an
unwanted fastener may be fired.
20. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS on top of
other fasteners, or with the tool at too steep
an angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing
personal injury. Fig. 12.
21. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS CLOSE
to the edge of the workpiece. The workpiece
is likely to split allowing the fastener to fly
free or ricochet causing personal injury. Fig.
13.
22. KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS
away from area shown in Fig. 13A, to avoid
injury.
23. DO NOT USE ON SCAFFOLDINGS OR
LADDERS or for tasks in which changing
location involves the use of scaffoldings,
stairs, ladders, and the like. Do not use for
specific tasks such as closing boxes or
crates or fitting transportation safety
systems on vehicles and wagons. Fig. 13B.
