Repairs can only be effected by official dealers.
To prevent injuries to yourself and bystanders, refer to tool use, maintenance and
troubleshooting sections for additional information (fig. 1).
To prevent eye injuries, always wear safety glasses with hard plastic side shields.
Be sure everyone in your work area is wearing the same type of safety glasses (fig.
2).
Always wear hearing protection and a hard hat (fig. 3).
Never use hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide or any other bottled gas as a power
source for this tool, the tool will explode and cause serious injury (fig. 4).
Remove your finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with
finger on the trigger, the tool will eject a fastener when the safety is pressed (fig. 5).
Never connect the tool to an air hose with pressure exceeding 200 psi or 13.7 bar
(fig. 6).
Air compressors must comply with requirement ANSI B19.3 1981 (U.S.), "Safety
Standard for Compressors for Process Industries" (fig. 7).
Air hose minimum working pressure rating of 150 psi (10.3 bar) or 150% of the
maximum pressure produced in the system is absolutely necessary (fig. 8).
The tool and air supply hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is
removed from the tool when the coupling joint is disconnected (fig. 9).
Use only compressed air coming through 3 pieces set (fig. 10).
Never load the tool if it is connected to air supply (fig. 11).
Never use the tool if the safety element, trigger or springs have become inoperative,
missing or damaged. It is hazardous to remove the safety element, trigger or spring
(fig. 12).
Before using this tool, make sure trigger, screw and cap are securely tightened (fig.
13).
Do not modify tool without authorization (fig. 14).
Disconnect the tool from the air supply whenever the tool stops working (fig.15).
Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others (fig. 16).
Fire fasteners into work surface only, never into materials too hard to penetrate (fig.
17).
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners. Firing the tool in an inclined angle is
also forbidden (fig. 18).
Do not push safety element on work surface until a second fastener is desired (fig.
19).
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work surface. The work piece is likely
to split and the fastener could fly free and hit someone (fig. 20).
Do not load fasteners with trigger or safety element depressed (fig. 21).
Do not use tool without Danger-label on tool (fig. 22).
Never use a tool that leaks air or needs repair (fig. 23).
Be sure you are in a balanced position when using or handling the tool (fig. 24).
Operate the tool at recommended pressure of 4-8 bar.
5 ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FASTENER DRIVING TOOLS OPERATED BY
COMPRESSED AIR
fastener driving tools operated by compressed air shall only be connected to
compressed air lines where the maximum allowable pressure cannot be exceeded
by a factor of more than 10%, which can for example be achieved by a pressure
reduction valve which includes a downstream safety valve;
