• 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. (Fig. E)
• Use couplings that relieve all pressure from the tool
when it is disconnected from the power supply.
Use hose connectors that shut off air supply from
compressor when the tool is disconnected. (Fig. F)

involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and
the like, with air supply connected. Do not make
adjustments, remove magazine, perform maintenance
or clear jammed fasteners while connected to the
air supply. If the contact trip is adjusted when the tool
is connected to the air supply and nails are loaded,
accidental discharge may occur. (Fig. G)
• Connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners to
prevent a fastener from being fired during connection.
The tool driving mechanism may cycle when tool is
connected to the air supply. Do not load fasteners with

disconnected, altered, or not working properly. Leaking
air, damaged parts or missing parts should be repaired or
replaced before use. Refer to Repairs. (Fig. H)
