IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using pneumatic tools, basic safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury, including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. Porter-Cable strongly recommends that this tool NOT be modified and/or used for any application other than for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to its application DO NOT use the tool until you have written PorterCable and we have advised you.

1. USE SAFETY GLASSES. To prevent eye injuries, the tool operator and all persons in the work area must wear safety glasses with permanently attached, rigid, plastic side shields. These safety glasses must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved glasses have “Z87” printed or stamped on them). Fig. 1.

2. WEAR EAR PROTECTION to safeguard against possible hearing loss. Fig. 1.

3. USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED

compressed air at 70 to 120 PSI, (4.8 to 8.3 BAR). Fig. 2.

4. DO NOT CONNECT TOOL TO

pressure which potentially exceeds 200 PSI (13.7 BAR).

5. ONLY USE AIR HOSE THAT IS RATED

for a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI or 150% of the maximum system pressure, which ever is greater.

6. NEVER USE OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE, combustible gases or any other

bottled gas as a power source for this tool: explosion and serious personal injury could result. Fig. 3.

7. CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY HOSE with a coupling that removes all

pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnected. Fig. 4.

8. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY HOSE before doing tool

maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.

9. NEVER USE A TOOL that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened.

10. NEVER USE TOOL IF SAFETY, trigger or springs are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and safety mechanism. Fig. 5.

11. DO NOT USE TOOL WITHOUT SAFETY WARNING LABEL. If label is

missing, damaged or unreadable, contact your Porter-Cable Service Center for a replacement. Fig. 6.

12. ONLY USE PARTS, FASTENERS, AND ACCESSORIES recommended by Porter-

Cable.

13. CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY BEFORE loading fasteners, to prevent a

fastener from being fired during connection. The tool driving mechanism may cycle when tool is connected to the air supply. Fig. 7.

14. ALWAYS ASSUME THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS. Keep the tool

pointed away from yourself and others at all times. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a working implement. Fig. 8.

15. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS with trigger or safety depressed, to prevent unintentional firing of a fastener. Fig. 9.

16. REMOVE FINGER FROM TRIGGER

when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger on trigger: tool may fire a fastener if safety is bumped while trigger is depressed. Fig. 10.

17. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when using or handling the tool. Fig. 11.

18. FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY: never into materials too

hard to penetrate.

19. GRIP TOOL FIRMLY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WHILE allowing tool to recoil

away from work surface as fastener is driven. If safety element is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is released, an unwanted fastener may be fired.

20. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at too steep an angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury. Fig. 12.

21. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS CLOSE

to the edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split allowing the fastener to fly free or ricochet causing personal injury. Fig.

13.

22. KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS

away from area shown in Fig. 13A, to avoid injury.

23. DO NOT USE ON SCAFFOLDINGS OR LADDERS or for tasks in which changing

location involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like. Do not use for specific tasks such as closing boxes or crates or fitting transportation safety systems on vehicles and wagons. Fig. 13B.
