TOOL USE AND CARE
WARNING: Disconnect the tool from the air source
before making adjustments, doing tool maintenance,
clearing jams, touching the safety yoke, leaving work
area, or unloading the tool. Such precautionary
measures reduce the risk of injury to persons.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding a
tool by hand or against the body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool.
Do not use the tool as a hammer.
Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a
fastener to be directed toward anything other than the
workpiece.
Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean
the tool. Never use the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases. Vapors could ignite by a spark and cause
an explosion which will result in death or serious personal
injury.
Always fit the tool with a fitting or hose coupling on or
near the tool in such a manner that all compressed air in
the tool is discharged at the time the fitting or hose
coupling is disconnected. Do not use a check valve or
any other fitting which allows air to remain in the tool.
Death or serious personal injury could occur.
Never place hands or any other body parts in the fastener
discharge area of the tool. The tool might eject a fastener
and could result in death or serious personal injury.
Never carry the tool by the air hose or pull the hose to
move the tool or a compressor. Keep hoses away from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace any hose that is
damaged, weak or worn. Personal injury or tool damage
could occur.
Always assume the tool contains fasteners. Respect the
tool as a working implement; no horseplay.
Always keep others at a safe distance from the work area
in case of accidental discharge of fasteners. Do not point
the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains
fasteners or not. Accidental triggering of the tool could
result in death or serious personal injury.
Do not drop or throw the tool. Dropping or throwing the
tool can result in damage that will make the tool unusable
or unsafe. If the tool has been dropped or thrown,
examine the tool closely for bent, cracked or broken
parts and air leaks. STOP and repair before using, or
serious injury could occur.
Avoid using the tool when the magazine is empty.
Accelerated wear on the tool may occur.
Clean and check all air supply hoses and fittings before
connecting the tool to an air supply. Replace any
damaged or worn hoses or fittings. Tool performance or
durability may be reduced.
Do not use the tool if it leaks air or does not function
properly.

Know this tool. Read this manual carefully, learn its
applications and limitations, as well as the specific
potential hazards related to this tool.
Use only fasteners that are recommended for your
models. Do not use the wrong fasteners or load the
fasteners incorrectly.
Use only accessories that are identified by the
manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of injury.
Use only those fasteners recommended for use with this
tool. Fasteners not identified for use with this tool by the
tool manufacturer are able to result in a risk of injury to
persons or tool damage when used in this tool.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean. A properly
maintained tool reduces the risk of binding and is
easier to control.
Store tools out of the reach of children and other
untrained people. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Check operation of the tool before use.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.

TOOL SERVICE
Use only accessories that are identified by the
manufacturer for the specific tool model.
When servicing a tool, use of unauthorized parts of failure
of following maintenance instructions may create a risk
of injury.
Use only the lubricants supplied with the tool or
specified by the manufacturer.
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel.

Respect the tool as a working implement.
Never engage in horseplay.
Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool
is in operation as accidental actuation may occur,
possibly causing injury.
OPERATION
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,
injuring you or people around.
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after
driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool.
Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the
tool against the work. Restriction to the recoil can
result in a second fastener being driven from the tool.
Grip the handle firmly and let the tool do the work.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or
with the tool at an overly steep angle as this may
cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a
fastener into the workpiece.
Always handle the tool with care:

AIR SOURCE
Never connect to an air source that is capable of
exceeding 200 psi. Over pressurizing the tool can result
in bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the tool or
serious injury to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated
compressed air at the rated pressure or within the rated
pressure range as marked on the tool. Always verify prior
to using the tool that the air source has been adjusted to
the rated air pressure or within the rated air-pressure
range.
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or
any bottled gas as an air source for the tool. Such gases
are capable of explosion and serious injury to person.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when
air supply is disconnected. If an incorrect fitting is used,
the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting
and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after the air
line is disconnected, possibly causing injury.
Do not use any type of reactive gases, including, but not
limited to, oxygen and combustible gases, as a power
source. Use filtered, lubricated, regulated compressed air
only. Use of a reactive gas instead of compressed air may
cause the tool to explode which will cause death or
serious personal injury.
Use only a pressure-regulated compressed air source to
limit the air pressure supplied to the tool. The regulated
pressure must not exceed 115 psi. If the regulator fails,
the pressure delivered to the tool must not exceed 200
psi.
Always disconnect air source:

Before unloading or making adjustments.
When maintaining the tool.
When clearing a jam.
When tool is not in use.
When moving to a different work area.
Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of injury to
persons.
