Fastener Depth Control Adjustment - Bostitch N89C-1P Instructions Manual

LUBRICATION CONTINUED
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation near and below freezing,
the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool
operation. We recommend the use of BOSTITCH winter
formula air tool lubricant (included) or permanent
antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION: Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment in order to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tool's operating valves and
mechanisms that could cause tool failure.
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids
are harmful to O-rings and seals – do not
use these low temperature air dryers without
checking compatibility.
LOADING
CAUTION: EYE PROTECTION which conforms to
ANSI specifications and provides protection
against flying particles both from the FRONT
and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the
operator and others in the work area when
connecting to air supply, loading, operating
or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required
to guard against flying fasteners and debris
which could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that
proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection
equipment must conform to the requirements
of the American National Standards Institute,
ANSI Z87.1 and provide both frontal and side
protection.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and
face shields alone do not provide adequate
protection.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURIES
• Never place a hand or any other part of the
body in nail discharge area of tool while the
air supply is connected.
• Never point the tool at anyone else.
• Never engage in horseplay.
• Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed
at the work.
• Always handle the tool with care.
• Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip
mechanism while loading the tool.
