PRECAUTIONS ON USING AUTOMATIC SCREW
DRIVER
1. Safe operation through correct usage
This tool was designed for driving screws into wood and
similar materials. Use it for its intended purpose only.
2. Make sure air pressure is within the rated range of
air pressure.
Please make sure that the air pressure is within a range
of 18 bar – 23 bar, and that the air which is used is clean
and dry. If the air pressure is greater than 23 bar, the
life of the power tool will be shortened and dangerous
conditions could develop. Tools shall not be connected
to pressure which potentially exceeds 26 bar .
3. Never operate the equipment with high-pressure
gases other than compressed air.
Never use carbon dioxide, oxygen or another gas from
pressurized containers under any circumstances.
4. Be careful of ignition and explosions.
Since sparks may fl y during driving screw, it is dangerous
to use this tool near lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner,
gasoline, gas, adhesives and similar infl ammable
substances as they may ignite or explode. Under no
circumstances should this tool therefore be used in the
vicinity of such infl ammable material.
5. Always wear eye protection (protective goggles).
When operating the power tool, always wear eye
protection, and ensure that surrounding people wear eye
protection too.
The possibility of fragments of the plastic linking the
screws or screws that were not properly hit entering the
eye is a threat to sight. Eye protection can be bought at
any hardware store. Always wear eye protection while
operating this tool. Use either eye protection or a wide
vision mask over prescription glasses.
Employers should always enforce the use of eye
protection equipment.
6. Protect your ears and head.
When engaged in driving screw work please wear
ear muffl ers and head protection. Also, depending on
condition, ensure that surrounding people also wear ear
muffl ers and head protection.
7. Pay attention to those working close to you.
It would be very dangerous if screws that were not
properly driven in should hit other people. Therefore,
always pay attention to the safety of the people around
you when using this tool. Always make sure that nobody's
body, hands or feet are close to the screw outlet.
8. Never point the screw outlet towards people.
Always assume the tool contains fasteners.
If the screw outlet is pointed towards people, serious
accidents may be caused if you mistakenly discharge
the tool. When connecting and disconnecting the hose,
during screw loading or similar operations, be sure the
screw outlet is not pointed towards anyone (including
yourself). Even when no screws are loaded at all, it
is dangerous to discharge the tool while pointing it at
someone, so never attempt to do so. No horseplay.
Respect the tool as a working implement.
9. Before using the power tool, check the push lever.
Before using the power tool make sure to check that the
push lever and valve operate properly. Without screws
loaded into the power tool, connect the hose and check
the following. If the sound of operation occurs this
indicates a fault, so in such a case do not use the power
tool until it has been inspected and repaired.
