Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the
•
tool, trigger or trigger lock-off, to become inoperable.
Do not tape or tie trigger in the on position. Do not remove
spring from contact trip. Make daily inspections for free
movement of trigger. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if any
portion of the tool, trigger, or trigger lock-off is
inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working
properly. Damaged parts or missing parts should be repaired
or replaced before use. Refer to
• Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
•
• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at
any time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a
working implement.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
•
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in a safe
place, out of the reach of children.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at
all times. Loss of balance may cause personal injury.
• Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge
fasteners into open air or any material too hard for
the pin to penetrate. Do not use the body of the tool
or top cap as a hammer. Discharged pin may follow
unexpected path and cause injury.
Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent
•
injury from inadvertent release of the pin.
• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for
detailed information on the proper maintenance of
the tool.
• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be sure
the work surface is clear of any debris and be careful not to
lose footing when working in elevated environments such
as rooftops.
• Fasteners must be driven straight into the material. Do
not tilt the nailer while driving fasteners. Personal injury can
result from ricocheted or jammed pins.
• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate
work area.

WARNING: To avoid injury keep hands and body away
from the front discharge area of the tool.
• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases
or fumes. This tool produces sparks that can ignite gases or
dust causing an explosion. Driving a pin into another pin may
also cause a spark.
• 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.
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool
to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven.
Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A
•
protruding pin may cause injury.
.
Maintenance
Do not drive pins blindly into walls, floors or other work
•
areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires, plumbing, or
other types of obstructions can result in injury.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
