IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING

TO A RISK OF FIRE,

ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR

INJURY TO PERSONS

WARNING – When using tools, basic pre-

cautions should always be followed,

including the following:

General

a. To reduce the risks of electric

shock, re, and injury to persons,

read all the instructions before us-

ing the tool.

Work area

a. Keep the work area clean and well

lighted. Cluttered benches and dark

areas increase the risks of electric

shock, re, and injury to persons.

b. Do not operate the tool in explo-

sive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of ammable 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 do-

ing and use common sense when

operating the tool. Do not use the

tool while tired or under the inu-

ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-

tion. 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 nger 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 unexpect-

ed 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 protec-

tion. Wear ANSI-ap-

proved safety goggles with

side shields.

g. Always wear hearing

protection when using

the tool. Prolonged expo-

sure 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.

SKU 67100 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4

i. Always assume that the tool con-

tains fasteners. Do not point the tool

toward yourself or anyone whether it

contains fasteners or not.

j. WARNING – Do not re fastener on

top of another fastener. This is able

to cause the fastener to be deected

and hit someone, or cause the tool to

react and result in a risk of injury to

persons.

k. WARNING – Remove nger from

the trigger when not driving fas-

teners. Never carry the tool with

nger on trigger, the tool is able to re

a fastener.

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.

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.

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.

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.

f. 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.

h. Use only accessories that are

identied by the manufacturer for

the specic tool model. Use of an

accessory not intended for use with

the specic tool model, increases the

risk of injury to persons.

i. Use only those fasteners listed

in the Specications chart of this

manual. Fasteners not identied 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.

Service

a. Tool service must be performed

only by qualied repair personnel.

b. When servicing a tool, use only

identical replacement parts. Use

only authorized parts.

c. Use only the lubricants supplied

with the tool or specied by the

manufacturer.

SKU 67100 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 5

Air source

a. Never connect to an air

source that is capable of

exceeding 115 PSI. Over

pressurizing the tool may

cause 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.

b. 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 persons.

24. Do not engrave or stamp anything

into the housing to prevent weaken-

ing of the housing.

25. WARNING: Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-

ing, and other construction activities,

contains chemicals known [to the

State of California] to cause cancer,

birth defects or other reproductive

harm. Some examples of these

chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica from bricks and

cement or other masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium from chemi-

cally treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures var-

ies, depending on how often you do

this type of work. To reduce your

exposure to these chemicals: work in

a well ventilated area, and work with

approved safety equipment, such as

those dust masks that are specially

designed to lter out microscopic

particles. (California Health & Safety

Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

26. WARNING: The brass components

of this product contain lead, a chemi-

cal known to the State of California

to cause birth defects (or other repro-

ductive harm). (California Health &

Safety code § 25249.5, et seq.)

27. The warnings and precautions dis-

cussed in this manual cannot cover

all possible conditions and situations

that may occur. It must be under-

stood by the operator that common

sense and caution are factors which

Vibration Precautions

This tool vibrates during use. Re-

peated or long-term exposure to vibra-

tion may cause temporary or permanent

physical injury, particularly to the hands,

SKU 67100 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 7

arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of

vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regu-

larly or for an extended period should

rst be examined by a doctor and

then have regular medical check-

ups to ensure medical problems are

not being caused or worsened from

use. Pregnant women or people

who have impaired blood circulation

to the hand, past hand injuries, ner-

vous system disorders, diabetes, or

Raynaud’s Disease should not use

this tool. If you feel any symptoms

related to vibration (such as tingling,

numbness, and white or blue ngers),

seek medical advice as soon as pos-

sible.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nico-

tine reduces the blood supply to the

hands and ngers, increasing the risk

of vibration-related injury.

3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the

vibration effects on the user.

4. Use tools with the lowest vibration

when there is a choice between dif-

ferent processes.

5. Include vibration-free periods each

day of work.

6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while

1. Incorporate a lter, regulator with

pressure gauge, oiler, in-line shutoff

valve, and quick coupler for best ser-

vice, as shown in the diagram above.

An in-line shutoff ball valve is an

important safety device because it

controls the air supply even if the

air hose is ruptured. The shutoff

valve should be a ball valve be-

cause it can be closed quickly.

Note: If an automatic oiler system is not

used, add a few drops of Pneumatic

Tool Oil into the airline connection be-

fore operation. Add a few more drops

after each hour of continual use.

2. Attach an air hose to the compres-

sor’s air outlet. Connect the air hose

to the air inlet of the tool. Other com-

ponents, such as a coupler plug and

quick coupler, will make operation

more efcient, but are not required.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS

INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL

OPERATION:

Do not install a female quick

coupler on the tool. Such a coupler

contains an air valve that will allow

the air tool to retain pressure and

operate accidentally after the air

supply is disconnected.

Note: Air ow, and therefore tool perfor-

mance, can be hindered by under-

sized air supply components.

3. The air hose must be long enough

to reach the work area with enough

extra length to allow free movement

while working.

4. Release the Trigger.

5. Close the in-line safety valve be-

tween the compressor and the tool.

SKU 67100 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 9

6. Turn on the air compressor according

to the manufacturer’s directions and

allow it to build up pressure until it

cycles off.

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.

8. The air pressure setting must not ex-

ceed job site regulations/restrictions.

The air pressure setting must not ex-

ceed 115 PSI when being used with

work pieces that have a thickness of

less than 1-3/4”.

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.

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT

SAFETY INFORMATION

section at the beginning of this

manual including all text under

subheadings therein before set

up or use of this product.

Inspect tool before use, looking

for damaged, loose, and/or

missing parts. If any problems

are found, do not use tool until

repaired.

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 distraction and injury.

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.

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.

5. Please note: The Nailer will ONLY

re when the Magazine is loaded with

six (6) or more nails.

Full Sequential Safety Trip

Mechanism Denition
