Never attempt to drive fasteners
into hard surfaces such as
steel, concrete, or tile.
Take care to avoid driving a fas-
tener on top of another fastener.
Position tool carefully so that
fasteners will be delivered to
the proper location.
Maintain the tool with care.
Keep a cutting tool sharp and
clean. A propedy maintained
tool, with sharp cutting edges
reduces the risk of binding and
is easier to control.
Check i_ormisaiignment or
binding or moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any
other condition that affects the
tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before
using.
Use of an accessory not
intended for use with the
specific tools, increases the risk
of injury to persons.

SHOCK
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Using air tools to attach
electrical wiring can result in
electrocution or death.
This tool is not provided with
an insulated gripping surface.
Contact with a "live" wire will
also make exposed metal parts
of the toot "live" and can result
in electrocution or death,
Fasteners coming in contact
with hidden electrical wiring
could cause electrocution or
death.
• Never use nailer/staplers to
attach electrical wiring while
energized.
Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock
if your body is grounded.
• Thoroughly investigate the
workpiece for possible hidden
wiring before performing work.

Tips
• Drive the fastener until the ratchet
stalls and then further tighten
by operating the air ratchet in
the same manner as a manually
dperated ratchet.
Lubrication
Air tools require lubrication throughout
the life of the tool. The air motor
and bearing uses compressed air to
power the tool. Because moisture in
compressed air will rust the air motor,
you must lubricate the motor daily. An
inline oiler is recommended.
To lubricate the air motor manually:
• Disconnect the tool from the air
supply holding it so the air inlet
faces up,
Depress throttle control lever and
place one to two drops of air tool
oil in the air inlet Depressing
the throttle control lever helps
circulate oil in the motor. NOTE:
Use SAE #10 weight oil if air tool
oil is not available.
Connect the tool to an air source,
cover the exhaust end with a
towel and run for a few seconds.
Any excess
oil in the
motor is immediately
expelled from the exhaust
port. Always direct exhaust
port away from people or
objects.
