Please follow the instructions given in this
instruction manual and correctly handle this tool
so as to ensure safe operation. Never let the tool
be use by children or people who do not know
enough to be able to handle it correctly, or let
it be used by people who cannot operate it
correctly.
3. Confirm the safety of the workshop.
Keep unauthorized people away from the
workshop. Especially children should be kept away.
4. The right parts in the right places.
Do not remove any of the covers or screws. Keep
them in place as they have their functions.
Moreover, because it would be dangerous, never

5. Check the tool before using it.
Before using the tool, always check that no parts
of it are broken, that all screws are completely
tight, and that no parts are missing or rusty.
6. Excessive work could cause accidents.
Do not make tools and accessories work beyond
their abilities. Excessive work not only damages
the power tool but also is dangerous in itself.
7. Stop operation immediately if abnormalities are
noticed.
Stop operation if you notice abnormalities, or if
the power tool does not work properly; have the
power tool inspected and serviced.
8. Look after the power tool carefully.
If you drop or knock the power tool against things,
the outer frame may be deformed and cracks or
other kinds of damage may occur, so please handle
it with sufficient care. Also, do not scratch or
engrave signs on the power tool. Owing to high
pressure air inside the tool, cracks in the surface
are dangerous.
Never use the power tool if a crack develops or
if air is escaping from a crack.

Always take good care of the power tool and keep
it clean.
10. Inspection at regular intervals is essential for

PRECAUTIONS ON USING NAILER
1. Safe operation through correct usage
This tool was designed for driving nails 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 4.9 bar – 8.3 bar, and that the air which
is used is clean and dry. If the air pressure is
greater than 8.3 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 14 bar.
3. Never operate the equipment with high-pressure
gases other than compressed air.
Never use carbon dioxide, oxygen or another gas
from pressurized
circumstances.
4. Be careful of ignition and explosions.
Since sparks may fly during nailing, it is dangerous
to use this tool near lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner,
gasoline, gas, adhesives and similar inflammable
substances as they may ignite or explode. Under
no circumstances should this tool therefore be
used in the vicinity of such inflammable 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 nails 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 nailing work please wear ear
mufflers and head protection. Also, depending on
condition, ensure that surrounding people also
wear ear mufflers and head protection.
7. Pay attention to those working close to you.
It would be very dangerous if nails 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 nail outlet.
8. Never point the nail outlet towards people.
Always assume the tool contains fasteners.
If the nail outlet is pointed towards people, serious
accidents may be caused if you mistakenly
discharge the tool. When connecting and
disconnecting the hose, during nail loading or
similar operations, be sure the nail outlet is not
pointed towards anyone (including yourself). Even
when no nails 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 nails loaded into the power tool, connect
the hose and check the following. If the sound
of operation occurs this indicates a fault, so in
containers under any
