IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING – When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
General
To reduce the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons,
read all the instructions before using the tool.
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.
b. Do not operate the tool in explosive
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.
c. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating the tool. Distractions are able
to result in the loss of control of the tool.
Personal Safety
a. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating the tool.
Do not use the tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the
tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
b. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
increases the risk of injury to persons as a
result of being caught in moving parts.
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.
d. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
f. Always wear eye protection.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles
with side shields.
g.
Always wear hearing protection
when using the tool.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise is able to cause hearing loss.
h. Do not attach the hose or tool to your body.
Attach the hose to the structure to reduce the
risk of loss of balance if the hose shifts.
i. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
j. WARNING – Do not fire fastener on 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.
k. WARNING – Remove finger from the
trigger when not driving fasteners.
Never carry the tool with finger on trigger,
the tool is able to fire a fastener.
