IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

You must read this entire manual and familiarize yourself with all
safety, operating, and service instructions before loading, handling,
or using your tool. When used correctly, pneumatic fastening
tools provide a lightweight, powerful, and safe means of fastening.
Used improperly, these tools can cause serious injury to you and
those around you.

For best results, use only Grip-Rite™ collated fasteners.

SAFETY

SAFETY

WEAR SAFETY GLASSES

Always wear safety glasses with side shields that meet ANSI
Z87.1 requirements when operating the tool. Make sure all
others in work area wear safety glasses.

WEAR HEARING PROTECTION

Wear hearing protection to protect your hearing from noise.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can result in hearing loss.

NEVER OPERATE THE TOOL WITH OXYGEN OR OTHER
BOTTLED GASES

Oxygen and other reactive or high-pressure bottled gases
can cause the tool to explode. Use clean, dry regulated
compressed air from a properly operating air compressor.

DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATING AIR
PRESSURE OF 120 PSI /8.3 Bar.

Exceeding the maximum recommended air pressure can
cause the tool housing to burst, or cause premature failure of
components.

NEVER CONNECT THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY THAT HAS
THE
POTENTIAL TO EXCEED 180 PSI/12.4 Bar.

Using a regulated air supply with a line or tank pressure
greater than 180 psi can cause the tool to burst if the air line
regulator fails suddenly.

USE AN AIR HOSE RATED FOR 180 PSI/12.4 Bar OR
GREATER

Always use air hose rated to handle 180 psi or the maximum
potential pressure of the air supply.

ONLY USE A RELIEVING-TYPE AIR COUPLING IN THE TOOL
AIR INLET OPENING.

Use of a non-relieving air coupling on the tool can trap air
inside the tool housing, and allow the tool to drive a fastener
even after the air hose has been disconnected.

SAFETY LABELS

This pneumatic fastening tool includes a warning label to help remind you of
important safety information when operating the tool. The safety label must be
legible at all times, and must be replaced if it becomes worn or damaged.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

These safety symbols provide a visual reminder of basic safety
rules, and the personal injury hazard that may arise if all safety and
operating instructions are not followed. Make sure you understand
the meaning of each of these symbols, and protect yourself and
others by obeying all safety and operating instructions.

SAFETY

SAFETY

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE TOOL IF THE TOOL’S
OPERATING CONTROLS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED OR ARE NOT
WORKING PROPERLY.

Attempting to use a tool with modified or malfunctioning
trigger or workpiece contact can result in a fastener being
driven unintentionally.

USE CORRECT FASTENERS

Only use the correct fastener for the tool. Using fasteners
with incorrect specifications can jam the tool or cause
serious injuries.

USE THE CORRECT FASTENERS FOR THE APPLICATION.

Using the wrong fasteners can cause the workpiece to split
and allow the fastener to fly free.

KEEP TOOL POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION WHEN LOADING
FASTENERS.

Never point the tool at yourself or anyone else when loading
fasteners.

DO NOT LOAD TOOL WITH TRIGGER OR WORKPIECE
CONTACT
DEPRESSED.

Depressing the trigger or workpiece contact during loading
can result in an unintentional fastener drive if both devices
are accidentally actuated at the same time.

KEEP FINGER OFF TRIGGER UNTIL TOOL IS IN POSITION TO
DRIVE
A FASTENER.

An unexpected bump or sudden contact with your body or that
of a bystander can result in serious injuries.

AVOID DRIVING FASTENERS INTO KNOTS, ON TOP OF
OTHER FASTENERS, AT WORKPIECE EDGES, OR INTO
BRITTLE MATERIALS.

Driving fasteners into extremely hard materials, or driving into
workpiece edges, can cause fasteners to deflect away from
the workpiece. Flying fasteners can cause serious injuries.

KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS AWAY FROM AREA BEING
FASTENED.

Fasteners can deflect and turn as they are being driven into
the workpiece, and penetrate fingers, hands, and other body
parts that may be in the fastening area.

DO NOT OVERREACH OR WORK WHILE ON UNSTABLE
FOOTING

If you lose your balance while fastening, you could drive a
fastener into yourself or a bystander.

DO NOT USE TOOL IF TOOL MALFUNCTIONS OR BEGINS
LEAKING AIR.

Operating a malfunctioning tool can result in an unexpected
fastener discharge and injury to yourself or others.

DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE AIR SUPPLY TO RE­LOAD, CLEAR JAMS, OR PERFORM MAINTENANCE.

Never attempt to reload a tool, clear a jam, or perform
maintenance without first disconnecting the air supply.

NEVER LEAVE A LOADED, PRESSURIZED TOOL UNAT­TENDED

A loaded, pressurized tool could be picked up or handled by
someone who is unfamiliar with the tool or that has not read
the tool manual.

KEEP TOOLS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN

Place the tool back in the tool box after use, and store the tool
out of reach.

DO NOT MODIFY TOOL

Modifications can cause a tool to be unsafe and can cause
the tool to operate improperly.
