Additional Safety Instructions for Nailers

1. HAND INJURIES: Do not place your

hands near the nail point of entry. A nail can deflect and tear through the surface of the workpiece, puncturing your hand or fingers.

2. COMBUSTIBLE GASES: Never connect the nailer to pressurized oxygen or other combustible gases as a power source

. Only use filtered, lubricated, and regulated compressed air.

3. SAFE HANDLING: Never point the nailer at others! Do not keep the trigger pulled when loading fasteners, carrying, or holding tool. Carry the nailer only by the handle, never by any other part. Do not carry the nailer by the air hose. Disconnect the nailer from the air hose when going up and down ladders.

4. CLEANING: Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean the nailer; vapors in the nailer will ignite by a spark and cause it to explode.

5. HOSE USAGE: Make sure your air hose is designed for the tool in use, is in good condition, and is long enough to reach your work without stretching. However, an overly long air hose in the work area may be a tripping hazard.

6. OPERATING QUESTIONS: If you are not sure about the intended operation, stop using the nailer. Seek formal training or research books or magazines that specialize in pneumatic tools.

7. MAINTENANCE: Always discon-

nect air from the nailer when servicing or installing nails. During maintenance, a nailer connected to air may fire accidentally, causing serious personal injury.

8. COMPRESSED AIR RATING: Do

not connect the nailer to compressed air that exceeds 120 PSI.

9. CHECK VALVE: Do not use a

check valve or any other fitting that allows air to remain in the tool.
