Additional Safety Instructions for Nailers
1.
HAND INJURIES: Do not place
your hands near the nail point
of entry. A nail can deflect and
tear through the surface of the
workpiece, puncturing your hand
or fingers.
2.
COMBUSTIBLE GASES: Never
connect the nailer to pressur-
ized oxygen or other combustible
gases as a power source. Only
use filtered, lubricated, and regu-
lated compressed air.
3.
SAFE HANDLING: Never point
the nailer at others! Do not keep
the trigger pulled when loading
fasteners, carrying, or holding tool.
Carry the nailer only by the handle,
never by any other part. Do not
carry the nailer by the air hose.
Disconnect the nailer from the air
hose when going up and down
ladders.
4.
HOSE: Make sure your air hose
is designed for the tool in use,
is in good condition, and is long
enough to reach your work with-
out stretching. However, an overly
long air hose in the work area may
be a tripping hazard.

5.
COMPRESSED AIR RATING: Do
not connect the nailer to compressed
air that exceeds 120 PSI.
6.
CHECK VALVE: Do not use a check
valve or any other fitting that allows
air to remain in the tool.
7.
CLEANING: Never use gasoline or
other flammable liquids to clean the
nailer; vapors in the nailer will ignite
by a spark and cause it to explode.
8.
OPERATING QUESTIONS: If you
are not sure about the intended
operation, stop using the nailer.
Seek formal training or research
sources that specialize in pneumatic
tools.
9.
MAINTENANCE: Always disconnect
air from the nailer when servicing or
installing nails. During maintenance,
a nailer connected to air may fire
accidentally, causing serious per-
sonal injury.
