• Connect tool to air supply hose with a coupling that automatically removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnected. • Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of this tool of 120 PSI. • Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working pressure of at least 120 PSI or 150% of the maximum system pressure, which ever is greater. • Always verify prior to using the tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure range. Risk of loss of hearing What could happen How to prevent it • Long term exposure to noise produced from the operation of air tools can lead to permanent hearing loss. • Always wear hearing protection. Risk to injury What could happen How to prevent it • Tools left unattended with the air hose attached, can be activated by unauthorized persons leading to their injury or injury to others. • Remove air hose when tool is not in use and store tool in secure location away from reach of children and or untrained users. • Air tools can propel fasteners or other materials throughout the work area. • Always keep hands and body away from the fastener discharge area when air supply is connected to air nailer. • Use only parts, fasteners, and accessories recommended by the manufacturer. • Always assume the finish nailer contains nails. Never use the nailer as a toy. • Keep work area clean and free of clutter. • Keep children and others away from work area during operation of the tool. • Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. If safety element is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will be fired. • Keep work area well lit. • A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool increases the risk of personal injury. • Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool on. Risk to injury (cont.) • Air tools can become activated by accident during maintenance or tool changes. • Disconnect the brad nailer from air compressor before changing tools, loading/unloading fasteners or accessories, clearing jams and during non-operation. • Do not depress trigger when connecting the air hose. • Never carry the tool by the hose. • Avoid unintentional starting. Don’t carry an air tool which is connected to an air hose, with your finger on the trigger. • Repair servicing should be done only by an authorized service representative. • Air tools can cause the workpiece to move upon contact leading to injury. • Use clamps or other devices to prevent movement. • Loss of control of the tool can lead to injury to self or others. • Never operate tool while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. • Always place yourself in a firmly balanced position when using or carrying the brad nailer. • Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. • Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. • Poor quality, improper, or damaged nailers can fly apart during operation, propelling particles throughout the work area causing serious injury. • Always use tool attachments rated for the speed of the air tool. • Never use air tools which have been dropped, impacted or damaged by use. • Never use tool if safety, trigger or springs are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and safety mechanism. • Do not apply excessive force to the tool, let the tool perform the work. Risk to injury (cont.) • Fasteners could ricochet or be propelled causing serious injury or property damage. • Never point discharge of tool at self or others. • Do not pull trigger unless tool contact safety device is against work surface. • Never attempt to drive fasteners into hard surfaces such as steel, concrete, or tile. • Take care to avoid driving a fastener on top of another fastener. • Position tool carefully so that fasteners will be delivered to the proper location. • Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split allowing the fastener to fly free or ricochet causing personal injury. • Improperly maintained tools and accessories can cause serious injury. • Maintain the tool with care. • Always check that the striking element is operating properly. Do not modify or disable the strike element, or any tool parts. • There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged. • Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. • Use only accessories identified by the manufacturer to be used with specific tools. • Use of an accessory not intended for use with the specific tools, increases the risk of injury to persons. Risk of electric shock What could happen How to prevent it • Using air tools to attach electrical...
