WARNING! When using electrical and pneumatic equipment such as this,
basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Please familiarize yourself with the following information to
prevent damage to your equipment and injury to the operator, property damage,
or death.
ALL
READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
We strongly recommend that this tool not be modified and/or used for any
application other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions
relative to its application, do not use the equipment until you have consulted us
and we have advised you.
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAR of obstructions and well ventilated. Cluttered
areas invite injury.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't use electrical tools in
damp or wet locations. Don't expose your tool to rain. Keep the work area
well lit. Don't use tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids. Atom-
ized fluids like paints and solvents can be highly flammable. Do not spray
them near this equipment.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All children should be kept
away from the work area. Don't let them handle machines, tools, or exten-
sion cords. Visitors can be a distraction and are difficult to protect from
injury. Pneumatic nailers and staplers should only be used by persons over
18 years old. Permit only experienced and trained persons to operate pneu-
matic tools.
4. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust.
Equipment also should be in a high location or locked up to keep out of reach
of children.
5. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not use the compressor with-
out its connection to a properly grounded outlet of the specified voltage and
fuse protection. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet that itself is
properly installed and grounded. Grounding provides a low-resistance path
to carry electricity to ground away from the operator, should the tool malfunc-
tion electrically. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug or alter
the plug in any way. If in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded
according to code, check with a qualified electrician. Extension cords must
also be equipped with grounded (three prong) plugs.
6. SAFETY GLASSES To prevent eye injuries, the operator and all persons
in the work area must wear approved safety glasses with permanently at-
tached, rigid side shields. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when
spraying air. Do not aim or spray air at people or animals. Severe skin dam-
age can result.
7. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing & use common sense. Don't oper-
ate any tool when you are tired.
8. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across machines which are running.
9. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never pull on the cord to unplug it. Pro-
tect the cord from potential sources of damage: heat, oil & solvents, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
10. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION
CORD. An extension cord for outdoor use must be marked "W-A" or "W".
11. DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT TO MOISTURE. Rain or
wet conditions can cause water to enter the tool and lead to electric shock.
12. ENSURE THE EXTENSION CORD YOU USE IS OF SUFFICIENT GAUGE
FOR ITS LENGTH.
