SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Certain safety precautions are required when using pneu-

matic tools to prevent injury to the user and others in the area. Read and
follow all these instructions.

It is the employer’s responsibility to enforce compliance with these
safety warnings and procedures by all who use this driver. Keep the
manual available so all employees have access to it and the opportunity
to review procedures periodically.

The purpose of the Pneumatic FrameMaster® and Pneumatic
FlexiMaster® is to insert Fletcher Framer’s Points and Flexible Framer ’s
Points in wooden frames to secure the glazing, matboard, artwork and
backing material. It must not be modified or used for any other applica­tion.

1. Use Safety Glasses.
Safety glasses with rigid
side shields must be worn
by the operator of this
driver as well as all others
in the work area. See
Figure 1.

2. Wear ear protection to
avoid possible hearing loss. See Figure 1.

3. Always assume driver contains points. Do not point the driver at
yourself or others. DO NOT
drive a point freely in the air.

4. Always hold the nose of

the driver tight against the
wooden frame before

operating the trigger. See
Figure 2.

5. Use clean, dry regulated

compressed air at 70 to
100PSI, (5 to 7 BAR). The system should include filter, pressure

regulator, and automatic oiler.

6. Do not connect this driver to an air supply with
maximum potential pressure greater than 200 PSI,
(14 BAR).

7. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible
gases or any type of bottled gas as a source for this
driver. Explosion and serious injury may result.

8. Only connect driver to the air supply with a coupling
that removes all pressure when disconnected.

9. Disconnect the driver from the air supply before doing
maintenance, removing a jam, leaving the work area, moving to
another area or handing the driver to another person.

10. Connect the point driver to air supply before loading points to
prevent driving a point during connection. The driving mecha­nism may operate when the driver is connected to air supply.

11. Never use the driver if it is leaking, has missing parts, or re-
quires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely
tightened.

12. Do not use the driver if the safety warning label is missing or
unreadable. Contact a Fletcher-Terry Customer Care Represen­tative for a replacement.

13. Only use points, parts, and accessories recommended by
Fletcher-Terry.

14. Do not load points with the trigger depressed, to prevent uninten­tional firing of a point.

16. Release trigger after firing a point. Never carry the driver with
your finger on the trigger.

17. Do not over-reach or use the driver from an awkward or insecure
position.
