1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE TOOL
WARNING
TO AVOID SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE
BEFORE USING THE TOOL, READ CAREFULLY AND
UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS". FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
Danger to the eyes always exists due to the possibility of
dust being blown up by the exhausted air or of a fastener
flying up due to the improper handling of the t ool. For these
reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall always be worn
when operating the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye
protection is worn. Eye protection equi p me nt must co nform
to the requirements of Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21
DEC. 1989 (the American National Standards Institute,
ANSI Z87.1) and provide both frontal and side protection.
The employer is responsible to enforce the use of eye
protection equipment by the tool operator and all other
personnel in the work area.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields
alone do not provide adequate protection.

2. EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN SOME
ENVIRONMENTS
As the working condition may include exposure to high
noise levels which can lead to hearing damage, the employer and user should ensure that any necessary hearing
protection is provided and used by the operator and others
in the work area.
3. DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EXCEPT AN AIR
COMPRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on compressed air. Do not
operate the tool on any other highpressure gas, combustible gases (e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is the
danger of an explosion. For this reason, absolutely do not
use anything other than an air compressor to operate the
tool.
7. DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air
supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting is used, the tool
can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus
will be able to drive a fastener even after the air line is
disconnected, possibly causing injury.
8. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND EMPTY THE
MAGAZINE WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool and empty
the magazine when operation has been completed or
suspended, when unattended, moving to a different work
area, adjusting, disassembling, or repairing the tool, and
when clearing a jammed fastener.
9. INSPECT SCREW TIGHTNESS
Loose or improperly installed screws or bolts cause accidents and tool damage when the tool is put into operation.
Inspect to confirm that all screws and bolts are tight and
properly installed prior to operating the tool.
4. OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE
RANGE
The tool is designed to operate within an air pressure
range of 5 to 7 bar (70 to 100 p.s.i.).
The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the work
being fastened. The tool shall never be operated when the
operating pressure exceeds 8.3 bar (120 p.s.i.).
Never connect the tool to air pressure which potentially
exceeds 13.8 bar (200 p.s.i.) as the tool can burst.
Thinner
5. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A FLAMMABLE
SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable substance (e.g.,
thinner, gasoline, etc.). Volatile fumes from these substances could be drawn into the compressor and compressed together with the air and this could result in an
explosion.
6. NEVER USE THE TOOL IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Sparks from the tool may ignite atmospheric gases, dust or
other combustible materials.
Gasoline
10. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER UNLESS YOU INTEND
TO DRIVE A FASTENER
Whenever the air supply is connected to the tool, never
touch the trigger unless you intend to drive a fastener into
the work. It is dangerous to walk around carrying the tool
with the trigger pulled, and this and similar actions should
be avoided.
11. NEVER POINT THE DISCHARGE OUTLET TOWARD
YOURSELF AND OTHER PERSONNEL
If the discharge outlet is pointed toward people, serious
accidents may be caused when misfiring. Be sure the discharge outlet is not pointed toward people when connecting and disconnecting the hose, loading and unloading the
fasteners or similar operations.
