Read and follow all safety rules and operating instructions
in this manual and on warning label of tool before using
this tool. Keep this manual with the tool.
Keep work area clean and properly lighted.
Keep children, bystanders and visitors at a safe distance
from work area while operating this tool.
Air tool operators and all others in work area should
always wear safety goggles complying with United States
ANSI Z87.1 to prevent eye injury from fasteners and flying
debris when loading, operating and unloading this tool
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses.
These are NOT safety glasses. ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses
have permanently attached rigid, hard plastic side shields
and will have "Z87.1" printed or stamped on them.
Always wear ear protection. The work area may include
exposure to excessive noise levels which will require nec-
essary ear protection. Some environments will require
head protection; use head protection conforming to ANSI
Z89.1.
Do not alter or modify this tool in any way. Do not use this
tool for any application other than for which it was
designed.
Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, high-pressure com-
pressed gas or bottled gases as the power source for this
tool. The tool will explode and serious personal injury
could result.
Never connect the tool to air pressure which could poten-
tially exceed 200 psi. Use only clean, dry, regulated air
within rated range as marked on tool.
The tool must have a male, free-flow hose coupling so that
all air pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling
joint is disconnected. Failure to use proper coupling could
cause accidental discharge, possibly causing injury.
Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working
pressure of 150 psi or 150% of the maximum system pres-
sure, whichever is greater.
Do not use a hose swivel connector with this tool.
Do not pull trigger or depress contact trip while connecting
to the air supply, as the tool may cycle, possiblycausing
injury.
• When loading tool: Do not pull trigger or depress contact
trip; Do not point the tool at yourself or others; Do not
prace hand or any part of body in the fastener discharge
area of the tool as accidental actuation may occur and
cause injury.
Disconnect tool from air supply before loading or unload-
ing, performing tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fas-
tener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or
handing the tool to another person.
Use Sears recommended fasteners only.
Do not load the tool until you are ready to use it.
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Keep the
tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times.
Never engage in horseplay. Never pull the trigger unless
the contact trip is in contact with the workpiece. Keep oth-
ers at a safe distance from the tool while the tool is in
operation,
Always remove finger from trigger when not driving fasten-
ers. Never carry the tool with finger on or under the trigger
as accidental actuation may occur and cause injury.
Always keep hands and body away from the fastener dis-
charge area when air supply is connected to the tool. Grip
tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil
away from work surface as fastener is driven. If contact trip
is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is
released, an unwanted fastener may be driven.
Check operation of the contact trip frequently. Never use
the tool if the contact trip, trigger or springs have become
inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove
contact trip, trigger or springs. Never use a tool that is leak-
ing air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the
tool at too steep an angle. The fasteners can ricochet and
cause injury. Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of
the workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split, allowing the
fastener to fly free and cause injury. Do not attempt to
drive fasteners into hard or brittle materials such as con-
crete, steel or tile.
Do not overreach. Always place yourself in a firmly bal-
anced position when using or handling the tool. Do not
attach the hose or tool to your body.
Do not operate tool without fasteners or damage to tool
may result.
Do not use tool without safety warning label. If label is
missing, damaged or unreadable, contact SEARS to
obtain a new label.
Only qualified repair personnel must perform tool service.
When servicing a tool, use only identical repair parts.
Store tool out of reach of children and other untrained
persons.
