This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.

Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation, electrocution, or death.

The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use. This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization, proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and comprehension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Before Operating This Equipment

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.

Indicates an imminent hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

NOTICE

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper operation of the equipment.

Safety Instructions For Pneumatic Tools

KEEP ALL SAFETY DEVICES IN PLACE

and in working order.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to

see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before operation.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Do not use pneumatic

tools in damp or wet locations, or where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist. Keep work area well lighted.

KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be

kept at a safe distance from work area.

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF by locking the shop and shutting off air valves.

DO NOT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

DO NOT USE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

Safety Instructions for Pneumatic Tools

USE PROPER AIR HOSE for the tool.

Make sure your air hose is in good condition and is long enough to reach your work without stretching.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear a protective hair covering to contain long hair.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use a face or dust mask if operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

WEAR APPROVED HEARING PROTECTION. Air escaping from pneu-

matic tools can exceed safe exposure limits and may cause hearing damage with prolonged exposure.

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating tool. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing, changing accessories, or moving to another location.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.

NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED TOOL CONNECTED TO AIR. Disconnect the

air hose and do not leave tool until it is relieved of any built up pressure.

NEVER ALLOW UNTRAINED USERS TO USE THIS TOOL WHILE UNSUPERVISED.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF THE INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING TOOL. Seek formal training or research

books or magazines that specialize in pneumatic tools.

BE AWARE OF HOSE LOCATION WHEN USING PNEUMATIC TOOLS. Hoses can

easily become a tripping hazard when laid across the fl oo r or spread out in a di so rg anized fashion.

REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL FIRING. Do not carry

tool with hand on trigger and always disconnect from air when not in use.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.

Regularly inspect tool for any condition that may affect safe operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged or mis-adjusted parts before operating tool.

SECURE WORK. When required, use clamps or vises to secure workpiece. A secured workpiece protects hands and frees both of them to operate the tool.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools lubricated and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Additional Safety for Staplers

HAND INJURIES. Do not place your

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

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

MODIFICATIONS. DO NOT modify this tool or bypass the safety nose mechanism.

COMBUSTIBLE GASES. Never connect the stapler to pressurized oxygen or other combustible gases as a power source. Only use filtered, lubricated, and regulated compressed air.

COMPRESSED AIR RATING. Do not connect the stapler to compressed air that exceeds 120 PSI.

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

MAINTENANCE. Always disconnect air from the stapler when servicing or installing staples. During maintenance, a stapler connected to air may fire accidentally, causing serious personal injury.

CHECK VALVE. Do not use a check valve or any other fitting that allows air to remain in the tool.

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

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