WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read all instructions before using this tool!
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools in damp or
wet locations. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well lit. Do not use electri-
cally powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let
them handle machines, tools, extension cords, or air hoses.
Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to
inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment
to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which
this tool was designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which
it was intended. Do not modify this tool, and do not use this tool for a purpose for

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach
over or across running machines or air hoses.
Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI-approved impact
safety goggles and appropriate hearing protection. Wear a full face shield
if you are producing metal filings or wood chips. Wear a NIOSH-approved
dust mask or respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical dusts and mists. Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI approved
impact safety goggles.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords and
air hoses periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by a qualified technician. The handle must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool’s operating controls are inoperable,
disconnected, altered, or not working properly.
Disconnect air hose and release any built-up air pressure. Never service the
Nailer, clear jams, or disassemble with the air hose attached. Always release any
built-up air even after disconnecting hose. Disconnect the Nailer when not in use.
Remove adjusting wrenches. Check that adjusting wrenches are removed from
the tool or machine work surface before attaching to an air source.

Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is in the OFF position when not
in use and before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your finger on the trigger,
whether it is attached to an air source or not. Do not point the tool towards yourself
or anyone whether it contains brads or not.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate any
tool when you are tired.
Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, any broken
parts or mounting fixtures, and any other condition that may affect proper operation.
Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified
technician. Do not use the tool if the trigger does not operate properly.
Replacement parts and accessories. This product is to be repaired and serviced
only by a qualified technician. When this product is serviced, only identical replacement parts should be used. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use
accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available

Use proper size and type extension cord for an air compressor. If an extension cord is required, it must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct
current to the compressor without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could
melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to the compressor. Check your air
compressor’s manual for the appropriate size cord. It is also possible that the use
of an extension cord may cause your circuit breaker to trip or your panel fuse to
break. If this happens, either use the compressor without an extension cord or find
a larger amperage circuit to use.
Maintenance. The maintenance outlined in the “Maintenance” section should be
performed regularly. For your safety, this product should be serviced or repaired
regularly only by a qualified technician.
Compressed air only. Use clean, dry, regulated, compressed air at between 90
and 125 PSI. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any other
bottled gases a power source for this tool.
Do not load brads or staples with the trigger or safety depressed. Unintentional firing may occur. Do not load brads when the air hose is connected to the
tool. Always assume the tool contains brads or staples.
Disconnect air supply before loading this tool. Before reloading (or making any
adjustments to) the tool, make sure the compressed air is disconnected.

25.
Fire brads and staples into an appropriate work surface only. Do not attempt
to fire brads or staples into surfaces too hard to penetrate. Do not drive brads or
staples on top of other brads or staples, or at too steep an angle. Brads and staples
can ricochet, causing personal injury. Never fire this tool into the air, or point it toward
yourself or another person. Always wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles
during use, maintenance, and reloading.
Do not fire brads or staples too close to the edge of a workpiece.
They may split the workpiece and fly free, causing personal injury.
Take caution, as some woods contain preservatives such as copper
chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When nailing these materials
extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of
California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
