Important safety instructions

Risk of eye or head injury

What could happen How to prevent it

• Air powered equipment are capable of propelling

materials such as fasteners, metal chips, saw dust, and
other debris at high speed, which could result in serious
eye injury.

• Tool attachments can become loose or break and fly

apart propelling particles at the operator and others in
the work area.

• Compressed air can be hazardous. The air stream can cause

injury to soft tissue areas such as eyes, ears, etc. Particles
or objects propelled by the stream can cause injury.

• Always wear safety glasses with side shields.

• Never leave operating tool unattended. Disconnect air

hose when tool is not in use.

• Wearing hearing protection and helmet during

operation is also strongly recommended.

• For additional protection use an approved face shield in

addition to safety glasses.

• Make sure all connections are secure and check air

hoses for weak or worn condition before each use.

Risk of fire or explosion

What could happen How to prevent it

• Air nailers are capable of generating sparks which could

result in ignition of flammable materials.

• Exceeding the maximum pressure rating of tools or

accessories could cause an explosion resulting in serious
injury.

• Never operate tools near flammable substances as

gasoline, cleaning solvents, etc.

• Work in a clean, well ventilated area.

• Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or other gases as a

power source for air tools.

• Use compressed air regulated to a maximum pressure at

or below the rated pressure of any attachments.

• Connect tool to air supply hose with a coupling that

automatically removes all pressure from the tool when
the coupling is disconnected.

• Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of this tool

of 120 PSI.

• Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working

pressure of at least 120 PSI or 150% of the maximum
system pressure, which ever is greater.

• Always verify prior to using the tool that the air source

has been adjusted to the rated air pressure range.
