NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS
„ Choice of triggering method is important. Check
manual for triggering options.
„ The nailer is designed for single-hand use. Do not hold
the tool by the front of the magazine. Do not put hands,
head, or other parts of your body near the bottom of the
magazine where the nail exits the tool, as serious personal
injury could result.
„ Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains nails or not.
„ Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a
fastener into the workpiece.
„ Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully posi-
tioned above the workpiece. Positioning the workpiece
contact only partially above the workpiece could cause
the fastener to miss the workpiece completely and result
in serious personal injury.
„ Do not drive nails near edge of material. The workpiece
may split causing the nail to ricochet, injuring you or a
co-worker. Be aware that the fastener may follow the
grain of the wood, causing it to protrude unexpectedly
from the side of the work material or deflect, possibly
causing injury.
„ Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to
keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the
workpiece is properly secured before pressing the fas-
tener against the material. The workpiece contact may
cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.
„ Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool
cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil
can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing
into hard or dense material.
„ 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 nailer against the work. Restriction to the recoil can
result in a second fastener being driven from the nailer.
Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work and do not
place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any
time. 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.
LOADING TOOL
„ Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of
the operating controls is activated.
„ When loading tool:
Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener
discharge area of tool.
Never point tool at anyone.
Do not pull the trigger or depress the workpiece
contact as accidental actuation may occur, possibly
causing injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
„ Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others
who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan
them these instructions also.
