tool. Bottled compressed gases such as oxygen,
carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, propane,
acetylene or air are not for use with pneumatic tools.
Never use combustible gases or any other reactive gas
as a power source for this tool. Danger of explosion
and/or serious personal injury may result. (Fig. E)
• Use couplings that relieve all pressure
from the tool when it is disconnected
from the power supply. Use hose connectors
that shut off air supply from compressor when the tool
is disconnected. (Fig. F)
• Disconnect tool from air supply when
not in use. Always disconnect tool
from air supply and remove fasteners
from magazine before leaving the area
or passing the tool to another operator.
Do not carry tool to another work area
in which changing location involves
the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders,
and the like, with air supply connected.
Do not make adjustments, remove
magazine, perform maintenance
or clear jammed fasteners while
connected to the air supply. If the contact
trip is adjusted when the tool is connected to the air supply and nails are loaded,
accidental discharge may occur. (Fig. G)
• Connect tool to air supply before loading fasteners, to
prevent a fastener from being fired during connection. The
tool driving mechanism may cycle when tool is connected to the air supply. Do
not load fasteners with trigger or contact trip depressed, to prevent unintentional
firing of a fastener.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or

otherwise cause the tool, trigger, or
contact trip to become inoperable. Do
not tape or tie trigger or contact trip in the ON
position. Do not remove spring from contact trip.
Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger
and contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge could
result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not
operate a tool if any portion of
the tool, trigger, or contact trip is
inoperable, disconnected, altered,
or not working properly. Leaking air,
damaged parts or missing parts should be repaired
or replaced before use. (Fig. H)
• Do not alter or modify the tool in any
way. (Fig. I)
• Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners.
• Do not point the tool at co-workers or
yourself at any time. No horseplay! Work
safe! Respect the tool as a working implement. (Fig.
J)
• Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in a safe place, out of the reach
of children.
• Remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners.
Never carry tool with finger on trigger. Accidental discharge could
result. Using the trigger lock-off will prevent accidental discharge.
