SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

1. WARNING! Use eye and hearing protection. Always wear ANSI approved

safety impact goggles, hearing protection, and heavy-duty work gloves when using this Riveter. Other people in the work area must also wear appropriate ANSI approved safety equipment.

2. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite accidents.

3. Stay within air pressure capacity. Never operate the Riveter above 90 PSI.

4. Observe work area conditions. Keep work area well lit. Do not use pneumatic

tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.

5. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let

them handle machines, tools, extension cords, or air hoses.

6. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to

inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

7. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to

do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this

tool was designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it

was intended. Do not modify this tool, and do not use this tool for a purpose for

which it was not intended.

8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in

moving parts. Protective, electrically nonconductive clothes and nonskid footwear

are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long

hair.

9. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over

or across running tools or air hoses.

10. Disconnect air hose and release any built-up air pressure. Never service the

Riveter or disassemble with the air hose attached. Always release any built-up air

even after disconnecting hose. Disconnect the Riveter when not in use.

11. Remove adjusting wrenches. Check that adjusting wrenches are removed from

the tool and work surface before attaching to an air source.

12. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the Trigger (40) is in the OFF position when

not in use and before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your finger on the

Trigger, whether it is attached to an air source or not. Do not point the tool towards

yourself or anyone.

13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate any tool

when you are tired.

14. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged

should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its

intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, any broken

parts, and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is

damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not

use the tool if the Trigger does not operate properly.

15. Replacement parts and accessories. This product is to be repaired and serviced

only by a qualified technician. When this product is serviced, only identical

replacement parts should be used. Use of any other parts will void the warranty.

Only use accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are

available from Harbor Freight Tools.

16. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning

labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgement or reflexes are

impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.

17. Maintenance. The maintenance outlined in the “Maintenance” section should be

performed regularly. For your safety, this product should be serviced or repaired

regularly only by a qualified technician.

18. Compressed air only. Never use combustible gas as a power source.

19. Fire the Rivets into an appropriate work surface only. This Riveter is designed

for use on metal objects only, and is not suitable for soft surfaces.

20. Do not fire the Rivets too close to the edge of a workpiece. They may split the

workpiece and cause it to fly free, causing personal injury.

21. Transport the Riveter safely. Always disconnect the air supply when moving the

tool in the workplace. Carry the tool by the handle and avoid contact with the Trigger

(40).

22. Avoid working alone. If an accident happens, an assistant can bring help.

23. Always attach the Safety Cap (23) to the Riveter prior to using the tool. Make

sure the

slot

in the Safety Cap faces upward to avoid spilling used Rivet Pins.
