7. ALWAYS WEAR EAR AND HEAD PROTECTION.
Always wear ear protection to protect your ears from loud noise.
Always wear head protection to protect your head from flying objects.
8. STORE NAILER PROPERLY.
When not in use, the Nailer should be stored in a dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
Lock the storage area.
9. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas invite injuries. Clear all work areas of unnecessary tools, debris, furniture, etc.
10. NEVER USE IN PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR GASES.
The Nailer produces sparks during operation.
Never use the Nailer in sites containing lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, gases,
adhesive agents, and other materials which are combustible or explosive.
11. KEEP VISITORS AWAY.
Do not let visitors handle the Nailer.
All visitors should be kept safely away from work area.
12. DRESS PROPERLY.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts.
Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
13. NEVER USE NON RELIEVING COUPLER ON NAILER.
If a non relieving coupler is used on the Nailer, the Nailer can remain charged with air after
disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after disconnecting.
The Nailer and air hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from
the Nailer when the coupling joint is disconnected.
14. CHECK PUSH LEVER BEFORE USE.
Make sure the push lever operates properly. (The push lever may be called "Safety".)
Never use the Nailer unless the push lever is operating properly, otherwise the Nailer
could drive a fastener unexpectedly. Do not tamper with or remove the push lever,
otherwise the push lever becomes inoperable.
15. KEEP ALL SCREWS AND COVERS TIGHTLY IN PLACE.
Keep all screws and covers tightly mounted. Check their condition periodically.
Never use the Nailer if parts are missing or damaged.
16. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS WITH TRIGGER PULLED OR PUSH LEVER DEPRESSED.
When loading fasteners into the Nailer or when connecting the air hose,
1) do not pull the trigger;
2) do not depress the push lever; and
3) keep the Nailer pointed downward.
17. KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM FIRING HEAD DURING USE.
Never place your hands or feet closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from the firing head.
A serious injury can result if the fasteners are deflected by the workpiece, or are driven
away from the point of entry.
18. PLACE NAILER PROPERLY ON WORKPIECE.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the Nailer at too steep of an angle;
the fasteners can ricochet and hurt someone.
19. HOLD NAILER FIRMLY TO MINIMIZE RECOIL.
Recoil can result in a second fastener being driven unintentionally.
20. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS INTO THIN BOARDS OR NEAR CORNERS AND EDGES OF
WORKPIECE.
The fasteners can be driven through or away from the workpiece and hit someone.
21. NEVER DRIVE FASTENERS FROM BOTH SIDES OF A WALL AT THE SAME TIME.
The fasteners can be driven into and through the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.
22. CHECK FOR LIVE WIRES.
Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock by checking for live electrical wires that may be
hidden by walls, floors or ceilings. Turn off the breaker switch to ensure there are no live
wires.
23. NEVER CARRY NAILER BY HOSE.
24. DO NOT OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
