Useclamps tosecureandsupporttheworkpiece toa
stableplatform. Holding a tool by hand or against the
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control and
injury.
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.
Always fit the tool with a fitting or hose coupling in a
way that all of the remaining compressed air is
discharged when tool 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 weak, worn, or otherwise damaged. Personal injury
or tool damage could ocur.
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. This could result in
damage that will make the tool unusable or unsafe. If
the tool has been dropped or thrown, examine the
tool closely for air leaks or bent, cracked or broken
parts. STOP and repair before using to avoid serious
injury.
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 to prevent
reduced performace or durability.

PERSONAL SAFETY(CONTINUED)
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.
TOOL USE AND CARE(CONTINUED)
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.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Do not use a connector that allows the tool to hold
pressure when the air supply is disconnected. If an
incorrect fitting is used, the tool can remain
pressurized and will be able to drive a fastener even
after the air line is disconnected.
Use filtered, lubricated, regulated compressed air as
your only air source. Do not use any type of reactive
gases including, but not limited to oxygen and
combustible gases. Using reactive gas instead of
compressed air may cause the tool to explode, which
will cause death or serious personal injury.
Use only a pressure-regulated compressed air
source to limit the air pressure supplied to the tool.
Do not exceed 115 psi.
Always disconnect air source:
