Important safety instructions
WARNING: Always take basic safety precautions when using compressed air tools to safeguard against
the risk of personal injury. This power tool is intended for specific applications. The equipment must not be
modified and/or used for any other area of use than that intended. Contact your dealer if you have any
questions about using the equipment.
• Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas increase the risk of injury.
Keep children away from the work area. Do not allow children to operate the tool.
•
Wear eye protection. To prevent eye injuries, the user and others in the work area must wear safety
•
glasses with fixed side protection. Safety glasses must meet ANSI Z87.1 standards. Approved safety
glasses are marked with the code Z87.
• Wear ear protection. High noise levels in the work area can cause hearing impairment.
• Only use clean, dry and regulated compressed air at 70–120 PSI (4.8 to 8.3 bar).
Do not connect the tool to a pressure system if there is a risk that the pressure will exceed 180 PSI
•
(12.3 bar).
• Only use an air hose that is rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 PSI or 150% of the
maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
• Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any other bottled gas to power the tool.
This could lead to explosion and serious personal injury.
• Remove all pressure from the tool by disconnecting the quick coupling from the connector on the
rear of the tool. If the tool is not operating correctly, it may still be charged with air after disconnection
from the air pressure supply, and may still be able to drive a nail and thus cause personal injury.
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply before carrying out any maintenance on the tool, removing a
jammed nail, leaving the work area, moving the tool or handing it over to someone else.
Always inspect the tool carefully for damage before use. Never use the tool if it is leaking air, has
•
missing or damaged parts or requires repair.
Never use the tool if a safety mechanism, trigger or springs are missing, damaged or inoperable. Do
•
not alter or remove the safety mechanism, trigger or springs. Inspect the trigger and safety
mechanism daily to ensure they work correctly.
Do not use the tool if the safety warning label is missing. If the label is missing, contact your local
•
dealer.
Only use parts and nails recommended by us.
•
Always connect the tool to the air supply before loading fasteners. This is to prevent a nail from being
•
fired during connection. The driving mechanism may be activated when the tool is connected to the
air supply. Empty the magazine when the tool is not being used.
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Never point the tool at your body or at anyone else.
•
Do not play with the tool. It is a work implement and not a toy.
To prevent accidental firing, do not load fasteners when the trigger is squeezed or if the safety
•
mechanism is disengaged.
• Remove your finger from the trigger when you are not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with
your finger on the trigger, as the tool will fire a fastener if the safety mechanism is pressed in while
the trigger is squeezed.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance when using the tool.
• Only fire fasteners into the work surface, never into materials that are too hard to penetrate.
• Grip the tool firmly but do not try to prevent the tool from recoiling when the fastener is being driven
in. If the safety element comes into contact with the work surface again before you release the trigger,
an unwanted fastener will be fired.
• Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at too great an angle. Nails can
ricochet and cause personal injury.
• Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece as this may split the workpiece and cause
the fastener to fly up or ricochet.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the area shown in the figure, to avoid injury.
