An improperly functioning tool must not be used.
•
Sparks sometimes fly when the tool is used. Do not
•
use the tool near volatile, flammable materials such
as gasoline, thinner, paint, gas, adhesives, 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 inoperable, disconnected,
altered, or not working properly.
Operate the tool within the specified air pressure of
•
0.44 - 0.83 MPa (4.4 - 8.3 bar) for safety and longer
tool life. Do not exceed the recommended 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 pressure (see
SPECIFICATIONS).

Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners.
Do not point the tool toward yourself or
anyone whether it contains fasteners or not.
Do not activate the tool unless the tool is
placed firmly against the workpiece.
Respect the tool as a working implement.
No horseplay.
Do not hold or carry the tool with a finger on
the trigger.
Do not load the tool with fasteners when any
one of the operating controls is activated.
