8. STORE NAILER PROPERLY.
When not in use, the Nailer should be stored in a dry
place. Keep out of reach of children. Lock the storage
area.
9. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas invite injuries. Clear all work areas of
unnecessary tools, debris, furniture, etc.
10. NEVER USE IN PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS OR GASES.
The Nailer produces sparks during operation.
Never use the Nailer in sites containing lacquer, paint,
benzine, thinner, gasoline, gases, adhesive agents,
and other materials which are combustible or
explosive.
11. KEEP VISITORS AWAY.
Do not let visitors handle the Nailer.
All visitors should be kept safely away from work
area.
12. DRESS PROPERLY.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be
caught in moving parts.
Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
13. NEVER USE NON RELIEVING COUPLER ON
NAILER.
If a non relieving coupler is used on the Nailer, the
Nailer can remain charged with air after disconnecting
and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after
disconnecting.
The Nailer and air hose must have a hose coupling
such that all pressure is removed from the Nailer
when the coupling joint is disconnected.
14. CHECK PUSH LEVER BEFORE USE.
Make sure the push lever operates properly. (The
push lever may be called "Safety".) Never use the
Nailer unless the push lever is operating properly,
otherwise the Nailer could drive a fastener
unexpectedly. Do not tamper with or remove the push
lever, otherwise the push lever becomes inoperable.
15. KEEP ALL SCREWS AND COVERS TIGHTLY IN
PLACE.
Keep all screws and covers tightly mounted. Check
their condition periodically.
Never use the Nailer if parts are missing or damaged.

PULLED OR PUSH LEVER DEPRESSED.
When loading fasteners into the Nailer or when
connecting the air hose,
1) do not pull the trigger;
2) do not depress the push lever; and
3) keep the Nailer pointed downward.
HEAD DURING USE.
Never place your hands or feet closer than 8 inches
(200 mm) from the firing head.
A serious injury can result if the fasteners are
deflected by the workpiece, or are driven away from
the point of entry.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or
with the Nailer at too steep of an angle; the fasteners
can ricochet and hurt someone.
If the push lever is unintentionally allowed to re-
contact the workpiece following recoil, an unwanted
fastener will be driven.
In order to avoid this undesirable double fire,
1) do not push the Nailer on the workpiece with
strong force;
2) take the Nailer completely away from the
workpiece using recoil, and keep the push lever
away from the workpiece until the next desirable
shot; and
3) pull the trigger and release it QUICKLY when
performing intermittent operation (trigger fire).
BOARDS OR NEAR CORNERS AND EDGES OF
WORKPIECE.
The fasteners can be driven through or away from the
workpiece and hit someone.
OF A WALL AT THE SAME TIME.
The fasteners can be driven into and through the wall
and hit a person on the opposite side.
Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock by checking
for live electrical wires that may be hidden by walls,
floors or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch to
ensure there are no live wires.
