English
(5) Be careful of double fi re and being hit by the
Nailer due to spring back ("recoil"). After driving
a nail, the Nailer may recoil causing it to move away
from the work surface.
To reduce risk of injury always manage recoil by:
1) always maintaining control of the Nailer.
2) allowing recoil to move the Nailer away from work
surface.
3) not resisting recoil such that the Nailer will be
forced back into the work surface. In "CONTACT
ACTUATION MECHANISM", if push lever is allowed
to re-contact work surface before the trigger is
released, an unintended discharge of a nail will
occur. In order to avoid this undesirable double fi re,
○ Intermittent operation (Trigger fi re)
Set the switching device to SINGLE
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM.
Pull the trigger rapidly and fi rmly.
○ Continuous operation (Push lever fi re)
Set the switching device of the Trigger
Assembly (Black Trigger) to CONTACT
ACTUATION. Or, change to the included
Trigger (A) (Silver Trigger).
Do not press the Nailer against the wood with
excessive force.
Separate the Nailer from the wood as it recoils
after nailing.
4) keeping face and body parts away from the Nailer.
(6) 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.
(7) Check Push Lever before use. Make sure the
Push Lever operates properly, and is not inoperable,
disconnected, or altered. (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, or otherwise cause
the Push Lever to become inoperable.
(8) 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.

(9) Do not load fasteners with Trigger or Push Lever
depressed. When loading fasteners into the Nailer
or when connecting the air hose,
1) do not depress the Trigger;
2) do not depress the Push Lever; and
3) keep the Nailer pointed downward.
(10) Keep hands and body away from fi ring head
during use. Never place your hands or feet closer
than 8 inches (200 mm) from the fi ring head. A serious
injury can result if the fasteners are defl ected by the
workpiece, or are driven away from the point of entry.
(11) When working close to an edge of a workpiece
or at steep angles, or driving fasteners into
thin workpiece use care to minimize chipping,
splitting or splintering, or free fl ight, ricochet or
piercing of fasteners, which may cause injury.
(12) 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.
(13) Use extra caution when driving the Nailer into
existing walls or other blind areas to prevent
contact with hidden objects or persons on other
side (eg., wires, pipes).
(14) Check for live wires. Avoid the risk of severe
electrical shock by checking for live electrical wires
that may be hidden by walls, fl oors or ceilings. Turn off
the breaker switch to ensure there are no live wires.
(15) Do not lift, pull or lower the Nailer by the hose.
(16) Do not disconnect air hose from Nailer with
fi nger on Trigger. The Nailer can fi re when re-
connected to An air supply.
(17) Handle Nailer correctly. Operate the Nailer
according to this Manual. Never allow the Nailer to
be operated by children, individuals unfamiliar with its
operation or unauthorized personnel.
(18) Never use Nailer for applications other than
those specifi ed in this manual.
(19) Never modify or alter a Nailer. Doing so may cause
it to malfunction and personal injuries may result.
(20) Disconnect the air hose when affi xing the hook.
(21) Do not affi x the hook on high or unstable
locations. Also, do not affi x it to the body,
clothing, belt or other personal items.
(22) When reassembling the trigger to a contact
actuation trigger while the hook already
attached, remove the hook.
