Important safety instructions
What could happen
•
Air powered equipment are capable of propelling
materials such as fasteners, metal chips, saw dust, and
other debris at high speed, which could result in serious
eye injury.
•
Tool attachments can become loose or break and fly
apart propelling particles at the operator and others in
the work area.
•
Compressed air can be hazardous. The air stream can cause
injury to soft tissue areas such as eyes, ears, etc. Particles
or objects propelled by the stream can cause injury.
What could happen
•
Air nailers are capable of generating sparks which could
result in ignition of flammable materials.
•
Exceeding the maximum pressure rating of tools or
accessories could cause an explosion resulting in serious
injury.
Risk of eye or head injury
How to prevent it
•
Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
•
Never leave operating tool unattended. Disconnect air
hose when tool is not in use.
•
Wearing hearing protection and helmet during
operation is also strongly recommended.
•
For additional protection use an approved face shield in
addition to safety glasses.
•
Make sure all connections are secure and check air
hoses for weak or worn condition before each use.
Risk of fire or explosion
How to prevent it
•
Never operate tools near flammable substances as
gasoline, cleaning solvents, etc.
•
Work in a clean, well ventilated area.
•
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or other gases as a
power source for air tools.
•
Use compressed air regulated to a maximum pressure at
or below the rated pressure of any attachments.
•
Connect tool to air supply hose with a coupling that
automatically removes all pressure from the tool when
the coupling is disconnected.
•
Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of this tool
of 120 PSI.
•
Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working
pressure of at least 120 PSI or 150% of the maximum
system pressure, which ever is greater.
•
Always verify prior to using the tool that the air source
has been adjusted to the rated air pressure range.
