be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
ALL
READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
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 tool until you have written us and we have advised you.
1 SAFETY GLASSES To prevent eye injuries, the tool operator and all persons
in the work area must wear approved safety glasses with permanently
attached, rigid side shields.
2. EAR PROTECTION Wear ear protection to safeguard against possible
hearing loss.
3. USE CLEAN, DRY, REGULATED, COMPRESSED AIR at 70 to 90 psi / 488 to
621 kPa / 4.88 to 6.2 bar.
4. DO NOT CONNECT TOOL to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi /
1379 kPa / 13.8 bar.
5. AIR HOSE Only use hose that is rated for a minimum working pressure of 150
psi or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
6. NEVER USE OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE, combustible gases or any other
bottled gas as a power source for this tool. Explosion and serious personal
injury could result.
7. COUPLINGS Connect tool to air supply hose with a 1/4" NPT coupling that
removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnnected.
8. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY hose before doing any
disassembly, maintenance, clearing a jammmed fastener, leaving the work
area, moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another
person.
9. NEVER USE A TOOL that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or
requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened.
10. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Never use a tool if safety, trigger, or
spring are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety,
trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections for the free movement of trigger
and safety mechanism.
11. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical Superior
replacement parts and fasteners recommended by us.
12. CONNECT TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY BEFORE loading fasteners to prevent
fasteners from firing during connection. The fastener driving mechanism
may cycle when the tool is connected to the air supply.
13. ALWAYS ASSUME THE TOOL CONTAINS FASTENERS. Keep it pointed
away from yourself and others at all times. No horseplay. Respect the tool
as a working implement.
14. DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS with trigger or safety depressed. The tool
may unintentionally fire a fastener.
15. DO NOT DEPRESS THE TRIGGER when not driving fasteners. Never
carry tool with finger on trigger mechanism: tool may fire an unwanted
fastener.
16. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across machines which are running.
17. FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY: never into materials too
hard to penetrate
18 GRIP TOOL FIRMLY to maintain control while allowing the tool to recoil
away from the work surface as the fastener is driven. If the safety is
allowed to recontact the work surface before the trigger is released, an
