SAFETY RULES

Hello! The purpose of the following safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. We don’t want
any of our beloved customers accidentally injuring themselves. The safety symbols and the explanations with them
deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger.
These instructions and warnings are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures (obviously).

Symbol Meaning

Safety Alert Symbol: Indicates danger, warning, or caution. This may be used in conjunction with
other symbols. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury.

NOTE: advising you of information or instructions is vital to the operation or maintenance of the equipment.

Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should be performed only by a qualified service technician.
WARNING - Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have thouroughly read and understood all instruc­tions, safety rules, etc…contained in this manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric
shock, or serious personal injury. Save this operator’s manual and review frequently for continuing safe operation
and instructing others who may use this tool.

Safe operation of this power tool requires that you read and understand this operator’s manual and all labels af­fixed to the tool. Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your tool works.

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. SAVE THESE SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not use your tool until the following steps have been read

and understood

1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual, no matter how boring it may be. LEARN the
tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards.

2. REGULATE AIR PRESSURE. Use air pressure that is compatible with the ratings on the nameplate of the tool
(not to exceed 100 psi or 6.9 bar). Do not connect the tool to a compressor rated at over 175 psi even in the event
of a regulator failure.

3. USE ONLY clean dry and regulated air. Condensation from an air compressor can rust and damage the internal
workings of the tool.

4. ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well lit. DO NOT work on floor surfaces that are slippery
with sawdust or wax.

5. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE from the work area, especially when the tool is operating.
NEVER allow children or pets near the tool.

6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.

SAFETY RULES

7. DRESS FOR SAFETY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when
operating the tool. Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts and draw you in. ALWAYS
wear non-slip footwear and tie back long hair.

8. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK to fight the debris produced by operation and ear protection to
fight hearing loss. Everyone in the 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 both the tool operator and others in
the work area.

WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health. Always operate the tool in a
well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection systems whenever possible.

9. ALWAYS USE an air hose that is rated at a maximum working pressure of at least 150 psi (10.4 bar)

10. 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.

11. USE COUPLINGS that relieve all pressure from the tool when it is disconnected from the power supply. Use
hose connectors that shut off the air supply from the compressor when the tool is disconnected.

12. DISCONNECT tool from air supply when not in use. Remove fasteners from magazine before leaving the area
or passing the tool to another operator. Do not climb ladders, stairs, scaffoldings, etc. without disconnecting the
tool. Do not carry a connected tool to another work area. Do not make adjustments, remove magazine, perform
maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while connected to the air supply.

13. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS before connecting the tool to the air supply. Otherwise, fasteners are at risk
of being fired during connection. The tool’s driving mechanism may cycle when it is connected to the air supply.
Do not load fasteners when the trigger or the safety is pressed down in order to prevent unintentional firings of a
fastener.

14. DO NOT REMOVE, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool or trigger to become inoperable. Do not tape or
tie the trigger in the ON position. Make daily inspections for free movement of the trigger. Uncontrolled discharge
may result. Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.

15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled
footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.

16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool before use. Do not operate if any portion of the tool or trigger
is damaged, inoperable, disconnected, or altered. Leaking air, damaged parts, or missing parts should be repaired
or replaced before use.

17. ALWAYS ASSUME that the tool contains fasteners. Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any time,
even if you think it will be really funny.
