SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always

be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read all instructions before using this tool!

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools in damp
or wet locations. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well lit. Do not use
electrically powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.

3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not
let them handle machines, tools, extension cords, or air hoses.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in
moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid foot­wear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain
long hair.

7. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach
over or across running machines or air hoses.

8. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety
goggles and appropriate hearing protection. Wear a full face shield if you are
producing metal filings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or
respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical dusts and mists.
Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI approved impact safety
goggles.

9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords
and air hoses periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized
technician. The handle must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at
all times. Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool’s operating controls are
inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly.

10. Disconnect air hose and release any built-up air pressure. Never service the
Nailer, clear jams, or disassemble with the air hose attached. Always release
any built-up air even after disconnecting hose. Disconnect the Nailer when not
in use.

11. Remove adjusting wrenches. Check that adjusting wrenches are removed
from the tool or machine work surface before attaching to an air source.

12. Avoid unintential starting. Be sure the trigger 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 whether it contains nails or not.

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 or mounting fixtures, 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. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it
must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the
compressor without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and
catch fire, or cause electrical damage to the tool. Check your air compressor’s
manual for the appropriate size cord. It is also possible that the use of an
extension cord may cause your circuit breaker to trip or your panel fuse to break.
If this happens, either use the compressor without an extension cord or find a
larger amperage circuit to use.

19. 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.

20. Compressed air only. Use clean, dry, regulated, compressed air at 90 PSI.
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any other bottled
gases a power source for this tool.

21. Do not load nails with the trigger or safety depressed. Unintentional firing
may occur. Do not load nails when the air hose is connected to the tool. Always
assume the tool contains nails.

22. Disconnect air supply before loading the Nailer. Before reloading (or making
any adjustments to) the Nailer, make sure the compressed air is disconnected.

23. Fire nails into an appropriate work surface only. Do not attempt to fire nails
into surfaces too hard to penetrate. Do not drive nails on top of other nails, or at
too steep an angle. Nails can ricochet, causing personal injury. Never fire the
Nailer into the air, or point it toward yourself or another person. Always wear
ANSI approved impact safety goggles during use, maintenance, and reloading.

24. Do not fire nails too close to the edge of a workpiece. They may split the
workpiece and fly free, causing personal injury.

25. Take caution, as some woods contain preservatives such as copper
chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When nailing these materials
extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contain 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.

(California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)

26. Stay within air pressure capacity. Never operate the Nailer above 125 PSI.

27. Hold tool away from head and body. During operation the Nailer may kick
back, causing injury.

28. Transport Nailer safely. Always disconnect air supply when moving the tool in
the workplace. Carry the tool by the handle to avoid contact with the trigger.

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

30. Note: Performance of the compressor (if powered by line voltage) may vary
depending on variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also
affect the tool performance.

31. WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this
instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the
operator.
