IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES

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. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards.

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. KEEP YOUR WORK AREA clean, uncluttered, and well lit. Do not work on floor surfaces that are slippery with
sawdust or wax. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.

2. DO NOT USE the tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that
could ignite gases and cause a fire.

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.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. DRESS FOR SAFETY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when
operating the tool. Always wear non-slip footwear and tie back long hair.

2. USE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.

• Everyone in the work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields that conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements
(approved glasses have “Z87” printed or stamped on them). Safety glasses should be worn during operation,
assembly or maintenance of the tool.

• Wear ear protection such as plugs or muffs. Failure to use adequate ear protectors when the noise level is high
can result in lasting damage to hearing loss and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, whistling or buzzing in
the ear).

• Wear a face mask or dust mask to fight the debris produced by operation.

• Wear work gloves to protect your hands.

• Wear safety non-slip work boots.

• Wear safety helmet if any work is being carried out above your head.

3. STAY ALERT - watch what you’re doing and use common sense when using the tool. Do not use while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that may affect your ability to properly use the tool.
Even a moment of inattention may result in serious personal injury.

4. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled footwear.

5. KEEP ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that may affect your ability to properly use the tool.

6. KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS CLEAR of immediate work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when
necessary to keep body parts out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the
nailer against the material. The safety bracket may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES

AIR SUPPLY SAFETY

1. USE ONLY CLEAN, DRY, AND REGULATED AIR. Condensation from an air compressor can rust and
damage the internal workings of the tool. Regularly drain water and contaminants out from the compressor. An in­line filter is recommended to remove most of these contaminants and prolong the life of the tool the compressor.

2. DANGER OF EXPLOSION AND/OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Do not use bottled gases to power
this tool. Bottled compressed gases, including but not limited to 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.

3. REGULATE THE AIR PRESSURE. Use air pressure that is compatible with the operation pressure of the tool
(60 to 100 PSI). Do not let the air pressure exceed 100 PSI.

4. ALL AIR SUPPLY COMPONENTS (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must have a working pressure
rating of at least 150 PSI (150% of the maximum operating pressure).

5. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. When using an air compressor outdoors, use only rounded-jacket
extensions cords. These are intended for outside use. See manufacturer’s manual for the AWG required for the
compressor’s amperage draw.

6. MAKE SURE THE AIR SUPPLY HOSE is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses can cause
a loss of balance. Keep the hose in good condition.

7. MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTIONS are nice and tight. Use appropriate hose tape to prevent leaking. Pay
attention to air hoses and their connections to prevent tripping over them.

8. WHEN CONNECTING TO THE AIR SUPPLY, the tool is at risk of possibly firing fasteners. Be aware of this
and do not aim the gun at anything you do not want to shoot a nail into. It is recommended to empty the magazine
before connecting to the air supply.

9. MAKE SURE HOSE is free of obstructions or snags.

10. 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.

FASTENERS SAFETY

1. LOAD FASTENERS AFTER 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.

2. DO NOT ENGAGE the safety bracket or the trigger when loading fasteners.

3. ALWAYS ASSUME THAT THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS. Do not point the tool at others or
yourself at any time, fasteners may be fired unintentionally and cause serious injury.

4. DO NOT use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer. Discharged fasteners may follow unexpected paths
and cause serious bodily injury.
