result in death or serious injury.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could

result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially haz ard ous situation which, if not avoided, may

result in minor or mod er ate injury.

Indicates a practice not related to personal injury which, if not avoid-

ed, may result in property damage.

• Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation
material, or dust which could harm operator’s eyes.
Operator and others in work area MUST wear safety
glasses with side shields. These safety glasses must

conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved glasses
have “Z87” printed or stamped on them). It is the employer’s
responsibility to enforce the use of eye protection equipment
by the tool operator and other people in the work area.
(Fig.A)

• Always wear appropriate personal hearing and other
protection during use. Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this product may contribute
to hearing loss. (Fig. A)

• Use only clean, dry, regulated air. Conden sation from an air
compressor can rust and damage the internal workings of the
tool. (Fig. B)

• Regulate air pressure. Use air pressure compatible with
ratings on the nameplate of the tool. [Not to exceed
100psi (6.9 bar).] Do not connect the tool to a compressor
rated at over 175 psi. The tool operating pressure must
never exceed 175 psi even in the event of regulator failure.
(Fig.C)

• Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working

pressure of at least 150 psi (10.3 bar) or 150% of the
maximum system pressure, which ever is greater. (Fig.D)

• Do not use bottled gases to power this tool. Bottled
compressed gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen, hydrogen, propane, acetylene or air are not
for use with pneumatic tools. Never use combustible

gases or any other reactive gas as a power source for
this tool. Danger of explosion and/or serious personal
injury may result. (Fig. E)

• Use couplings that relieve all pressure from the tool when
it is disconnected from the power supply. Use hose
connectors that shut off air supply from compressor
when the tool is disconnected. (Fig.F)

• Disconnect tool from air supply when not in use. Always

disconnect tool from air supply and remove fasteners
from magazine before leaving the area or passing the
tool to another operator. Do not carry tool to another
work area in which changing location involves the
use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like, with
air supply connected. Do not make adjustments,
remove magazine, perform maintenance or clear
jammed fasteners while connected to the air supply.

(Fig. G)

• 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. Do not load fasteners

with trigger or safety trigger depressed to prevent
unintentional firing of a fastener.

• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the
tool or trigger to become inoperable. Do not tape or
tie trigger in the on position. Make daily inspections for
free movement of trigger. Uncontrolled discharge could
result.

• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if
any portion of the tool or trigger is inoperable,
disconnected, altered, or not working properly.

Leaking air, damaged parts or missing parts should
be repaired or replaced before use. Refer to Repairs.
(Fig.H)

• Do not alter or modify the tool in any way. (Fig. I)

• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.

• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any
time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a

working implement. (Fig. J)

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked

in a safe place, out of the reach of children.

• Remove finger from trigger when not driving
fasteners.

• Never carry tool with finger on trigger. Accidental
discharge could result.

• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance
at all times. Loss of balance may cause personal injury.

(Fig. K)

• Make sure hose is free of obstructions or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance
or footing.

• Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge
fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely
hard woods, knots or any material too hard for the
fastener to penetrate. Do not use the body of the tool

or top cap as a hammer. Discharged fasteners may follow
unexpected path and cause injury. (Fig. L)

• Always keep fingers clear of nosepiece to prevent injury
from inadvertent release of nails. (Fig. M)

• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for

detailed information on the proper maintenance of the
tool.

• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be
sure the work surface is clear of any debris and be
careful not to lose footing when working in elevated
environments such as rooftops.

• Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,
injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail

may follow the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to
protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material.
Drive the nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk of
injury. (Fig. N)

• Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners

or with the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury
from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted
nails may result. (Fig. O)

• Be aware of material thickness when using the nailer. A
protruding nail may cause injury.

• Be aware that when the tool is being utilized at
pressures on the high end of its operating range,
nails can be driven completely through thin or very
soft work material. Make sure the pressure in the
compressor is set so that nails are set into the material
and not pushed completely through. (Fig. P)

• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to
keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure

the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the
nailer against the material. (Fig. Q)

• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases
or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could ignite
gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail may
also cause a spark. (Fig. R)

• Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool
cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can

result in impact to the body, especially when nailing
into hard or dense material. (Fig. S)

• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool
to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven.

• Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
against the workpiece. (Fig. T)

• DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce risk of serious injury
from accidental actuation when attempting to adjust
depth, ALWAYS:

• Disconnect air supply.

• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments.

• Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other
work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in
injury. (Fig. U)

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.

Some dust created by power sanding, saw­ing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities con­tains 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 and cement and other
masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body. Always operate tool in well­ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use
dust collection system wherever possible.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.

Before operating this tool, carefully read all instructions
in Important Safety Instructions.
