ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS  
WARNING – When using tools, basic pre-  
cautions should always be followed,  
including the following:  
c. Avoid unintentional starting. Be  
sure the trigger is released before  
connecting to the air supply. Do not  
carry the tool with your finger on the  
trigger or connect the tool to the air  
supply with the trigger pressed.  
General  
a. To reduce the risks of electric  
shock, fire, and injury to persons,  
read all the instructions before us-  
ing the tool.  
d. Do not overreach. Keep proper  
footing and balance at all times.  
Proper footing and balance enables  
better control of the tool in unexpect-  
ed situations.  
Work area  
a. Keep the work area clean and well  
lighted. Cluttered benches and dark  
areas increase the risks of electric  
shock, fire, and injury to persons.  
e.  
Use safety equipment. A  
dust mask, non-skid safety  
shoes and a hard hat must  
be used for the applicable  
conditions. Wear heavy-duty work  
gloves during use.  
b. Do not operate the tool in explo-  
sive atmospheres, such as in the  
presence of flammable liquids,  
gases, or dust. The tool is able to  
create sparks resulting in the ignition  
of the dust or fumes.  
f.  
Always wear eye protec-  
tion. Wear ANSI-ap-  
proved safety goggles with  
side shields.  
c. Keep bystanders, children, and  
visitors away while operating the  
tool. Distractions are able to result in  
the loss of control of the tool.  
g.  
Always wear hearing  
protection when using  
the tool. Prolonged expo-  
sure to high intensity noise  
is able to cause hearing loss.  
Personal safety  
a. Stay alert. Watch what you are do-  
ing and use common sense when  
operating the tool. Do not use the  
tool while tired or under the influ-  
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-  
h. Do not attach the hose or tool to

i.  
j.  
Always assume that the tool con-  
tains fasteners. Do not point the tool  
toward yourself or anyone whether it  
contains fasteners or not.  
e. Store the tool when it is idle out of  
reach of children and other un-  
trained persons. A tool is dangerous  
in the hands of untrained users.  
WARNING – Do not fire fastener on f.  
top of another fastener. This is able  
to cause the fastener to be deflected  
and hit someone, or cause the tool to  
react and result in a risk of injury to  
persons.  
Maintain the tool with care. A prop-  
erly maintained tool reduces the risk  
of binding and is easier to control.  
g. Check for misalignment or bind-  
ing of moving parts, breakage of  
parts, and any other condition that  
affects the tool’s operation. If dam-  
aged, have the tool serviced before  
using. Many accidents are caused  
by poorly maintained tools. There is a  
risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.  
k. WARNING – Remove finger from  
the trigger when not driving fas-  
teners. Never carry the tool with  
finger on trigger, the tool is able to fire  
a fastener.  
h. Use only accessories that are  
identified by the manufacturer for  
the specific tool model. Use of an  
accessory not intended for use with  
the specific tool model, increases the  
risk of injury to persons.  
Tool use and care  
a. Use clamps or another practical  
way to secure and support the  
workpiece to a stable platform.  
Holding the work by hand or against  
the body is unstable and can lead to  
loss of control.  
i.  
Use only those fasteners listed  
in the Specifications chart of this  
manual. Fasteners not identified for  
use with this tool by the tool manu-  
facturer are able to result in a risk  
of injury to persons or tool damage  
when used in this tool.  
b. Do not force the tool. Use the  
correct tool for the application. The  
correct tool will do the job better and  
safer at the rate for which the tool is  
designed.  
c. Do not use the tool if the trigger  
does not turn the tool on or off.  
Any tool that cannot be controlled  
with the trigger is dangerous and  
must not be used until repaired.  
Service  
a. Tool service must be performed  
only by qualified repair personnel.  
b. When servicing a tool, use only  
identical replacement parts. Use  
only authorized parts.  
d. Disconnect the tool from the air  
source before making adjust-  
ments, doing tool maintenance,  
clearing jams, touching the safety  
nosepiece, leaving work area,  
loading, or unloading the tool.  
Such precautionary measures reduce  
the risk of injury to persons.  
c. Use only the lubricants supplied

6. Turn on the air compressor according  
to the manufacturer’s directions and  
allow it to build up pressure until it  
cycles off.  
Inspect tool before use, looking  
for damaged, loose, and  
missing parts. If any problems  
are found, do not use tool until  
repaired.  
7. Adjust the air compressor’s output  
regulator so that the air output is  
enough to properly power the tool,  
but the output will not exceed the  
tool’s maximum air pressure at any  
time. Adjust the pressure gradually,  
while checking the air output gauge  
to set the right pressure range.  
Work Piece and Work Area Set Up  
1. Designate a work area that is clean  
and well-lit. The work area must not  
allow access by children or pets to  
prevent injury and distraction.  
2. Route the air hose along a safe route  
to reach the work area without creat-  
ing a tripping hazard or exposing the  
air hose to possible damage. The air  
hose must be long enough to reach  
the work area with enough extra  
length to allow free movement while  
working.  
8. The air pressure setting must not ex-  
ceed job site regulations/restrictions  
or exceed max. 90 PSI.  
9. Inspect the air connections for leaks.  
Repair any leaks found.  
10. If the tool will not be used at this  
time, turn off and detach the air sup-  
ply, safely discharge any residual air  
pressure, and release the trigger to  
prevent accidental operation.  
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise  
or clamps (not included) to prevent  
movement while working.  
4. There must not be hazardous ob-  
jects (such as utility lines or foreign  
objects) nearby that will present a  
hazard while working.  
Note: Residual air pressure should not be  
present after the tool is disconnected  
from the air supply. However, it is a  
good safety measure to attempt to  
discharge the tool in a safe fashion  
after disconnecting to ensure that the  
tool is disconnected and unpowered.  
Single Sequential Safety Trip
