7. Inspect tool before operating to
7.1 Establish use of proper power source. The compressed air power source shall
be pressure-regulated. The regulated pressure must not exceed the maximum air
pressure, Psmax, marked on tool. If a regulator fails, the pressure delivered to a tool
must not exceed 1.5 times the maximum air pressure, or 200 psig (13.8 bar), whiche
ver is greater. A tool normally is not operated at the maximum air pressure but at a
lower pressure determined by the type of fastener used, the workpiece, and other
conditions of use.
7.2 Determine that tool is in proper working order.
7.3 Determine actuation system.
7.4 Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts and any other condition that may
affect tool operation.
8. Operating controls
8.1 Do not use a tool with missing or damaged safety warning label(s.)
8.2 A tool that is not in proper working order must not be used. Tags and physical segrega-
tion shall be used for control.
8.3 Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause tool operating controls to become ino-
perable.
8.4 Do not operate tool if any portion of the tool operating controls is inoperable, disconnec-
ted, altered, or not working properly.
9. Tool handling
9.1 Only persons who have read and understand the tool operating/safety instructions
should operate the tool.
9.2 Always assume that tool contains fasteners.
9.3 Do not point tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not.
9.4 Keep bystanders and children away while operating tool.
9.5 Do not actuate tool unless tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. 9.6 Respect tool
as a working implement.
9.7 Do not engage in horseplay.
9.8 Stay alert, focus on your work and use common sense when working with tools.
9.9 Do not use tool while tired, after having consumed drugs or alcohol, or while under the
influence of medication.
9.10 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
9.11 Do not hold or carry tool with a finger on the trigger.
9.12 Drive fasteners into proper work surface only.
9.13 Do not drive fasteners into other fasteners.
9.14 After driving a fastener, tool may spring back ("recoil") causing it to move away from
the work surface. To reduce risk of injury always manage recoil by:
- always maintaining control of tool.
- allowing recoil to move tool away from work surface.
- not resisting recoil such that tool will be forced back into the work surface. In "Contact Ac-
tuation Mode,"if workpiece contact is allowed to re-contact work surface before the trigger is
released, an unintended discharge of a fastener will occur.
- keeping face and body parts away from tool.
9.15 When working close to an edge of a workpiece or at steep angles use care to mini-
mize chipping, splitting or splintering, or free flight or ricochet of fasteners, which may cause
injury.
