3. Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are recommended by the manufacturer of the tool; do not use other types or sizes of accessories or consumables.

Work Area Hazards

1. Be aware of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and trip hazards caused by the air line. Slips, trips and falls are major causes of injury.
2. Where possible do not obstruct thoroughfares and passageways with air lines or cables. Take appropriate measures to reduce trip risk such as erecting warning signs and fixing cables and air lines in place.
3. Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings to minimise risk from hidden hazards such as utility lines.
4. The tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not insulated against contact with electric power.
5. Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., which could cause a hazard if damaged by use of the tool.
6. Keep bystanders away (when working in an area where there is a likelihood of through traffic of people). Clearly mark off your operating area.

Noise Hazards
Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears). Risk assessment and use of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential.

1. Use appropriate controls to reduce the risk of noise-related injury. These can include actions such as damping materials to prevent workpieces from 'ringing'.
2. Use hearing protection in accordance with any employer's instructions and as required by occupational health and safety regulations.
3. Operate and maintain this tool as recommended in the instructions to prevent an unnecessary increase in the noise level.
4. Select, maintain and replace the consumable / accessory as recommended in the instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in noise.
5. Where a silencer is available, ensure it is in place and in good working order when the tool is being operated.
6. Take steps to reduce noise in the work area where possible (e.g. by using damping mats).

Vibration Hazards
Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms. Not all vibration hazards can be eliminated by tool design or construction, and some residual risks remain. Check the vibration-emission value (obtained using ISO 28927-3) shown in the specification table. Ensure the risk it represents is assessed and managed. If the risk cannot be managed so that it falls within acceptable limits, then do not use the tool. Take the following steps to reduce risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions. Keep hands warm and dry.
2. If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin of fingers or hands is experienced, stop using the tool, inform employer (where appropriate) and consult a qualified health professional.
3. Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in the instructions to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels.
4. Where appropriate, support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer.
5. The risk from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is higher. Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking account of the required hand reaction forces.
6. Ensure the tool and accessories are properly mounted and in good repair: improperly mounted or damaged tools can cause excessive vibration.

Operation

ALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, when working with this tool.

Ensure your compressed air supply operates within the pressure range stated in 'Specification'.

Adjusting the depth of penetration

Be aware of the thickness of your workpiece when driving in fasteners. A protruding nail may cause injury.

Always test the fastener will penetrate by the correct amount.

1. Fire a test fastener into a piece of scrap material and examine the penetration depth of the fastener.
2. Loosen the Depth Adjuster Screw (10) (Fig. V).
   
3. To increase the depth of penetration: Slide the Safety Catch (9) backwards towards the tool body.
4. To decrease the depth of the penetration: Slide the Safety Catch forward away from the tool body.

• If the Depth Adjuster is set to its lowest setting, the driving depth can be further decreased by adjusting the air pressure to the desired level. Reducing the pressure will reduce the depth that the fastener penetrates.
• Where possible, aim to use the lowest air pressure within the specified range (see 'Specification').
  A lower air pressure will result in reduced energy used, less noise and reduced wear to the tool.

Firing nails

Before firing a nail into the workpiece, always test the depth of penetration on a piece of scrap material. See 'Adjusting the depth of penetration' above.

1. Connect the tool to the air supply
2. Hold the tool firmly against the material so that the Safety Catch (9) is depressed (Fig. II).
3. Gently squeeze the Trigger (6) until the fastener is fired.
4. Release the Trigger and remove from the workpiece.
5. Check that the fastener has penetrated the material correctly.

Clearing jams
