Use And Care Manual

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
improperly feeding fasteners could result in
serious personal injury.
17. Never use this tool in a manner that could
cause a fastener to be directed toward the
user or others in the work area.
19. Always be aware that misuse and
improper handling of this tool can cause
injury to yourself and others.
20. Never leave a tool unattended with the air
hose attached.
21. Do not operate this tool if it does not
contain a legible warning label.
22. Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air
or does not function properly.
1. Do not use supply sources which can
potentially exceed 200 P.S.I. as tool may
burst, possibly causing injury.
2. The connector on the tool must not hold
pressure when air supply is disconnected. If
a wrong fitting is used, the tool can remain
charged with air after disconnecting and thus
will be able to drive a fastener even after the
air line is disconnected possibly causing
injury.
3. Do not pull trigger or depress contact arm
while connected to the air supply as the tool
may cycle, possibly causing injury.
4. Always disconnect air supply: 1.) Before
making adjustments; 2.) When servicing the
tool; 3.) When clearing a jam; 4.) When tool is
not in use; 5.) When moving to a different
work area, as accidental actuation may
occur, possibly causing injury.
When loading tool: 1.) Never place a hand or
any other part of the body in fastener
discharge area of tool; 2.) Never point tool at
anyone; 3.) Do not pull the trigger or depress
the trip as accidental actuation may occur,
possibly causing injury.
1. Always handle the tool with care: 1.)
Never engage in horseplay; 2.) Never pull
the trigger unless nose is directed toward
the work; 3.) Keep others a safe distance
from the tool while tool is in operation as
accidental actuation may occur, possibly
causing injury.
2. The operator must not hold the trigger
pulled on contact arm tools except during
fastening operation as serious injury could
result if the trip accidentally contacted
someone or something, causing the tool to
cycle.
3. Keep hands and body away from the
discharge area of the tool. A contact arm
tool may bounce from the recoil of driving a
fastener and an unwanted second fastener
may be driven possibly causing injury.
4. Check operation of the contact arm
mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if
the arm is not working correctly as
accidental driving of a fastener may result.
Do not interfere with the proper operation of
the contact arm mechanism.
5. Do not drive fasteners on top of other
fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep
angle as this may cause deflection of
fasteners which could cause injury.
6. Do not drive fasteners close to the edge
of the work piece as the wood may split,
allowing the fastener to be deflected
possibly causing injury.
7. Do not point the tool toward yourself or
anyone whether it contains fasteners or not.
8. Always ensure that the workpiece
contact is fully
positioned above the
workpiece. Positioning the workpiece
contact only partially above the workpiece
could cause the fastener to miss the
workpiece completely and result in serious
personal injury.
