SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
Always wear safety glasses with side shields that meet ANSI
Z87.1 requirements when operating the tool.  Make sure all
others in work area wear safety glasses.
WEAR HEARING PROTECTION
Wear hearing protection to protect your hearing from noise.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can result in hearing loss.
NEVER OPERATE THE TOOL WITH OXYGEN OR OTHER
BOTTLED GASES
Oxygen and other reactive or high-pressure bottled gases
can cause the tool to explode.  Use clean, dry regulated
compressed air from a properly operating air compressor.
DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATING AIR
PRESSURE OF 100 PSI /6.9 Bar.
Exceeding the maximum recommended air pressure can
cause the tool housing to burst, or cause premature failure of
components.
NEVER CONNECT THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY THAT HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO EXCEED 180 PSI/12.4 Bar.
Using a regulated air supply with a line or tank pressure
greater than 180 psi can cause the tool to burst if the air line
regulator fails suddenly.
USE AN AIR HOSE RATED FOR 180 PSI/12.4 Bar OR
GREATER
Always use air hose rated to handle 180 psi or the maximum
potential pressure of the air supply.
ALWAYS KEEP THE TRIGGER SAFETY LEVER IN THE FOR-
WARD “SAFE” POSITION UNTIL TOOL IS IN DRIVING POSI-
TION AND YOU ARE READY TO DRIVE  A FASTENER.
When driving is completed, or before reloading, move the
trigger safety lever forward to “SAFE” position.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE TOOL IF THE TOOL’S
OPERATING CONTROLS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED OR ARE NOT
WORKING PROPERLY.
Attempting to use a tool with modified or malfunctioning
trigger or safety lever can  result in a  fastener being driven
unintentionally.
