IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING!
Always follow the tool manufacturer's safety and
maintenance instructions.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when
operating or servicing tools.
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool and empty
the magazine when servicing tools.

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.
When using the tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read and understand tool labels and operating instructions, safety precautions and warnings
in this manual before operating or maintaining this nailer.
Failure to follow warnings could result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
Most accidents that result from the operation and maintenance of nailers are caused by the
failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by
recognizing a potentially hazardous situation before it occurs and by observing appropriate
safety procedures.
Basic safety precautions are outlined in the "SAFETY" section of this manual and in the
sections which contain the operation and maintenance instructions. Hazards that must be
avoided to prevent bodily injury or tool damage are identified as DANGERS or WARNINGS on
the nailer and in this manual.
Never allow the nailer to be operated by children or individuals who have not reviewed this
manual.

OPERATE THE NAILER ACCORDING TO THIS MANUAL.

SAVE THIS MANUAL

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

WARNING:

The operating instructions shall draw attention to the following

a) Only those fasteners listed in the operating instructions may be used in the fastener driving

tools;
NOTE: The fastener driving tool and the fasteners listed in the operating instructions must be
seen as one unit system in terms of technical safety.

b) Only the main energy and the lubricants listed in the operating instructions may be used;
c) Fastener driving tools marked with an inverted equilateral triangle standing on one point

may only be used with an effective safety yoke;
d) Fastener driving tools equipped with contact actuation or continuous contact actuation,
marked with the symbol “Do not use on scaffoldings, ladders”, shall not be used for specific
application for example:
when changing one driving location to another involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders,
or ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths, closing boxes or crates, fitting transportation
safety systems e.g. on vehicles and wagons;
e) For the maintenance of fastener driving tools, only spare parts specified by the
manufacturer or his authorized representative shall be used;
f) Repairs shall be carried out only by agents authorized by the manufacturer or by other
specialists, having due regard to the information given in the operating instructions;
NOTE: Specialists are those who, as a result of professional training or experience, have
sufficient expertise in the field of fastener driving tools and sufficient familiarity with relevant
governmental industrial protection provisions, accident prevention regulations, directives and
generally recognized technical regulations (e.g. CEN- and CENELEC-standards), to be able to
assess the safe working condition of fastener driving tools.
g) Stands for mounting the fastener driving tools to a support for example a work table, shall
be designed and constructed by the stand manufacturer, in such a way that the fastener
driving tool can be safely fixed for the intended use, thus for example avoiding damage,
distortion or displacement.

Additional instructions for fastener driving tools operated by compressed air

a) Fastener driving tools operated by compressed air shall only be connected to compressed

air lines where the maximum allowable pressure cannot be exceeded by a factor of more than
10%, which can for example be achieved by a pressure reduction valve which includes a
downstream safety valve;
b) When using fastener driving tools operated by compressed air, particular attention must be
paid to avoid exceeding the maximum allowable pressure;
c) Fastener driving tools operated by compressed air should only be operated at the lowest
pressure required for the work process at hand, in order to prevent unnecessarily high noise
levels, increased wear and resulting failures;
d) Hazards caused by fire and explosion when using oxygen or combustible gases for
operating compressed air operated fastener driving tools.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING:

BEFORE USING THE TOOL, READ CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THE

FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNING

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 tool. For

these reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall always be worn when operating the

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 high pressure gas, combustible gases (e.g. Oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since

there is the danger of an explosion. For this reason, absolutely so not use anything

other than an air compressor to operate the tool.

tool. The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. 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.

4. OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE RANGE.

The tool is designed to operate within an air pressure range of 70 psi
to100 psi (5 to 7 bar). The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the
work being fastened. The tool shall never be operated when the operating
pressure exceeds 120 psi. (8.3 bar).

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. DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTING.

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 line of air is disconnected, possibly causing injury.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER UNLESS YOUR INTEND TO DRIVER 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.

10. NEVER POINT THE DISCHARGE OUTLET TOWARD YOURSELF AND 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 not loading the fasteners or similar operations.

11. USE SPECIFIED FASTENERS.

The use of fasteners other than specified fasteners will cause the tool malfunction. Be sure to
use only specified fasteners when operating the tool.

12. PLACE THE DISCHARGE OUTLET TO THE WORK PROPERLY.

Failure to place the discharge outlet of the nose in a proper manner can result in a fastener
flying up and is extremely dangerous.

13. KEEP HANDS AND BODY AWAY FROM THE DISCHARGE OUTLET

When loading and using the tool, never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge
area of the tool. It is very dangerous to hit the hands or body by mistake.
