SAFETY INTRODUCTION

Hello! Thank you for purchasing the WEN Brad Nailer. Safe operation of this pneumatic 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.

The purpose of the following safety symbol is to attract your attention to possible dangers. We don’t want any of
our beloved WEN customers accidentally injuring themselves. The safety symbols and the explanations with them
deserve your careful attention and understanding.

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. However, please note that the safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. These
instructions and warnings are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have thoroughly 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.

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

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

3. DO NOT USE THE 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.

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

5. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS remove
starter keys. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked away in a safe place.

6. 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.

7. 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). 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.

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

• Wear ear protection such as plugs or muffs to fight hearing loss.

• Wear work gloves to protect your hands.

8. 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.

9. 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.

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

11. INSPECT TOOL BEFORE USE. Do not operate if any portion of the tool, trigger, or safety bracket is dam­aged, inoperable, disconnected, or altered. Leaking air, damaged parts, or missing parts should be repaired or
replaced before use

12. 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.
