Safety Information(Continued) Safety Information(Continued)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Do not
point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it
contains fasteners or not.
Wash hands after handling. This product or its power cord
may contain chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm.

T OOL USE AND CARE
WARNING: Disconnect the tool from the air source
before making adjustments, doing tool maintenance,
clearing jams, touching the safety yoke, leaving work
area, or unloading the tool. Such precautionary
measures reduce the risk of injury to persons.
Check operation of the tool before use. Do not use the
tool if the workpiece contact mechanism is not
working correctly as accidental driving of a fastener
may occur.
Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate properly.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the trigger is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding a
tool by hand or against the body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or any strong solvents to clean your
tool.
Do not use the tool as a hammer.
Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a
fastener to be directed toward anything other than the
workpiece.
Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean
the tool. Never use the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases. Vapors could ignite by a spark and
cause an explosion which will result in death or serious
personal injury.
Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the
trigger lock or trigger to become inoperable. Do not
operate any tool which has been modified in a like
fashion. Death or serious personal injury could result.
Do not touch the trigger unless driving fasteners. Never
attach air line to tool or carry tool while touching the
trigger. The tool could eject a fastener which will result in
death or serious personal injury. Also actuate the trigger
lock to the safe position when not in use.
Always fit tool with a fitting or hose coupling on or near
the tool in such a manner that all compressed air in the
tool is discharged at the time the fitting or hose coupling
is disconnected. Do not use a check valve or any other
fitting which allows air to remain in the tool. Death or
serious personal injury could occur.
Never place hands or any other body parts in the fastener
discharge area of the tool. The tool might eject a fastener
and could result in death or serious personal injury.
Never carry the tool by the air hose or pull the hose to
move the tool or a compressor. Keep hoses away from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace any hose that is
damaged, weak or worn. Personal injury or tool damage
could occur.

models. Do not use the wrong fasteners or load the
fasteners incorrectly.
Use only accessories that are identified by the
manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of injury.
Use only those fasteners recommended for use with this
tool. Fasteners not identified for use with this tool by the
tool manufacturer are able to result in a risk of injury to
persons or tool damage when used in this tool.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts
breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tool clean. A properly
maintained tool, reduces the risk of binding and is
easier to control.
Store tools out of the reach of children and other
untrained people. Tools are dangerous in the hands of

T OOL USE AND CARE(CONTINUED)
Always assume the tool contains fasteners. Respect the
tool as a working implement; no horseplay.
Always keep others at a safe distance from the work area
in case of accidental discharge of fasteners. Do not point
the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains
fasteners or not. Accidental triggering of the tool could
result in death or serious personal injury.
Do not drop or throw the tool. Dropping or throwing the
tool can result in damage that will make the tool
unusable or unsafe. If the tool has been dropped or
thrown, examine the tool closely for bent, cracked or
broken parts and air leaks. STOP and repair before using,
or serious injury could occur.
Avoid using the tool when the magazine is empty.
Accelerated wear on the tool may occur.
Clean and check all air supply hoses and fittings before
connecting the tool to an air supply. Replace any
damaged or worn hoses or fittings. Tool performance or
durability may be reduced.
Do not use the tool if it leaks air or does not function
properly.
Do not operate the tool if it does not contain a legible
warning label.
Always carry the tool by the handle. Never carry the tool
by the air hose.

Respect the tool as a working implement.
Never engage in horseplay.
Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed toward
the work.
Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool
is in operation as accidental actuation may occur,
possibly causing injury.
OPERATION
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The
workpiece may split causing the fastener or ricochet,
injuring you or people around.
Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the
trigger. Accidental discharge could result. Choice of
triggering method is important. Check manual for
triggering options.
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after
driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool.
Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the
tool against the work. Restriction to the recoil can
result in a second fastener being driven from the tool.
Grip the handle firmly and let the tool do the work.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or
with the tool at an overly steep angle as this may
cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a
fastener into the workpiece.
Always handle the tool with care:

AIR SOURCE
Never connect to an air source that is capable of
exceeding 200 psi. Over pressurizing the tool is able to
result in bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the
tool or serious injury to persons. Use only clean, dry,
regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or within
the rated pressure range as marked on the tool. Always
verify prior to using the tool that the air source has been
adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the rated air-
pressure range.
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or
any bottled gas as an air source for the tool. Such gases
are capable of explosion and serious injury to person.
