PERSONAL SAFETY
· Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
pneumatic tool. Do not use a pneumatic tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating pneumatic tools
may result in serious personal injury.
· Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing of jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
· Always use theappropriate eye andear protection andother safety equipment.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, and a hardhat used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
· Avoid accidental starting. Disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, and
when carrying tool to another work area.
· Do not overreach. Keep proper footingand balance atall times. This enables better
control of thepneumatic tool inunexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
· Never use bottledgas, such asoxygen or anyother combustible gases, as a
pneumatic source forthis tool. Danger of explosionand serious personalinjury may
result.
· Do not connect pneumatic tool to compressed air in which the pressure exceeds
120 PSI.
· Use air hoses rated for safe operation of the tool. Air hoses rated for a maximum of
150 PSI or greater must be used with this tool.
· Do not force the pneumatic tool and use the tool only for its intended use. Do not
discharge fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, hardwoods, knots or any material
too hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do not use the body of the tool or top cap as a
hammer. Discharged fasteners may cause injury.
· Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The workpiece may split causing the
fastener to ricochet. Be aware the nail may follow the grain of the wood, causing it to
protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material.
· Do not drivenails blindly intowalls, floors, orother work areas. Fasteners driven into
live electrical wires, plumbing, or othertypes of obstructionscan result ininjury.
· Be aware thatnails can bedriven completely throughthing or verysoft work
material. Make sure thepressure in thecompressor is suchthat nails areset into the
material and notpushed completely through.
· Do not drivenails onto theheads of otherfasteners. Strong recoil, jammedfasteners,
or ricocheted nailsmay result.
· Disconnect pneumatic toolfrom the airsupply before makingany adjustments,
performing maintenance, clearingjammed fasteners, orstoring.
· Secure work withclamps or avise in orderto keep handsand body outof potential
harm. Be sure theworkpiece is properlysecure before pressingthe tool againstthe
material.
· Keep face andbody parts awayfrom back ofthe tool capwhen working inrestricted
areas. Sudden recoil canresult in impactto the body, especially whennailing into hardor
dense material.
· Store idle pneumatic tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the pneumatic tool or these instructions to operate the pneumatic tool.
Pneumatic tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
· Maintain pneumatic tools. Before each use check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, damaged air hose and any other condition that may
affect the pneumatic tools operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained pneumatic tools.
· Keep handle dry, clean, andfree from oiland grease.
· Make sure thehose is freeof obstructions orsnags. Entangled hoses cancause loss
of balance orfooting.

OPERATING INSTRUCTION
1.Make surethe tool isdisconnected from theair hose.
2.Wear appropriate eye, earand other safetyequipment.
3.Place 5-7drops of lubricationinto the airinlet before useand clean thepneumatic tool
after each use.
4.Check forsmooth and properoperation of thenosepiece. Do notuse the toolif the nose
assembly is notfunctioning or isrestrained.
5.Keep toolpointed away fromyourself and others.
6.Connect airhose using onlyclean, dry, regulated compressedair at 70-100PSI.
7.Check foraudible leaks aroundvalves and gaskets. Never use atool that leaksor has
damaged parts.
8.Keep toolpointed in asafe direction whenloading nails. Holdthe nail inthe same manner
as if youwere using acommon hammer. With the otherhand place thetool in astraight line
with the directionin which youintend to drivethe nail.
9.Place thefix set (#21)around the nailhead, and gentlypush the tooluntil the nailhead
comes into contactwith the rampin (#13) andis steady.
10.Remove thehand that isholding the nail, and continue pushingthe tool todrive the
fastener into place.

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
· Always disconnect thepneumatic tool fromits compressed airsupply before performing
any inspection, maintenance, adjustments or cleaning.
· Place 5-7 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before each work day or after 2 hours
of continuous use.
· Clean daily with a clean cloth to remove all dirt, oil and grease from the pneumatic tool. If
necessary, you may use a mild detergent. Do not use solvents, as damage to the pneumatic
tool may occur. Do not immerse the pneumatic tool in any liquids.
