IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
WHEN USING THIS TOOL, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS
BE FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING
THE FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
•
For personal safety and proper operation and
maintenance of the tool, read this instruction
manual before using the tool.
•
Always wear safety glasses and face shield to
protect your eyes from dust or nail injury. The
safety glasses and the face shield should con-
form with the requirements of AS/NZS 1336.
Safety glasses
Face shield
WARNING:
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce the use of
safety eye protection equipment by the tool operators
and by other persons in the immediate working area.
•
Wear hearing protection to protect your ears
against exhaust noise and head protection. Also
wear light but not loose clothing. Sleeves
should be buttoned or rolled up. No necktie
should be worn.
•
Rushing the job or forcing the tool is dangerous.
Handle the tool carefully. Do not operate when
under the influence of alcohol, drugs or the like.
•
General Tool Handling Guidelines:
1.
Always assume that the tool contains fas-
teners.
2.
Do not point the tool toward yourself or any-
one whether it contains fasteners or not.
3.
Do not activate the tool unless the tool is
placed firmly against the workpiece.
4.
Respect the tool as a working implement.
5.
No horseplay.
6.
Do not hold or carry the tool with a finger on
the trigger.
7.
Do not load the tool with fasteners when
any one of the operating controls is acti-
vated.
8.
Do not operate the tool with any power
source other than that specified in the tool
operating/safety instructions.
•
An improperly functioning tool must not be
used.
•
Sparks sometimes fly when the tool is used. Do
not use the tool near volatile, flammable materi-
als such as gasoline, thinner, paint, gas, adhe-
sives, etc.; they will ignite and explode, causing
serious injury.
•
The area should be sufficiently illuminated to
assure safe operations. The area should be
clear and litter-free. Be especially careful to
maintain good footing and balance.
•
Only those involved in the work should be in the
vicinity. Children especially must be kept away
at all times.
•
There may be local regulations concerning
noise which must be complied with by keeping
noise levels within prescribed limits. In certain
cases, shutters should be used to contain
noise.
•
Do not play with the contact element: it prevents
accidental discharge, so it must be kept on and
not removed. Securing the trigger in the ON
position is also very dangerous. Never attempt
to fasten the trigger. Do not operate a tool if any
portion of the tool operating controls is inopera-
ble, disconnected, altered, or not working prop-
erly.
•
Operate the tool within the specified air pres-
sure of 0.44 - 0.83 MPa (4.4 - 8.3 bar) for safety
and longer tool life. Do not exceed the recom-
mended max. operating pressure of 0.83 MPa
(8.3 bar). The tool should not be connected to a
source whose pressure potentially exceeds 1.37
MPa (13.7 bar).
•
Make sure that the pressure supplied by the
compressed air system does not exceed the
maximum allowable pressure of the fastener
driving tool. Set the air pressure initially to the
lower value of the recommended allowable pres-
sure (see SPECIFICATIONS).
•
Never use the tool with other than compressed
air. If bottled gas (carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitro-
gen, hydrogen, air, etc.) or combustible gas
(hydrogen, propane, acetylene, etc.) is used as a
power source for this tool, the tool will explode
and cause serious injury.
