For personal safety and proper operation and maintenance of the tool, read this instruction manual carefully before using the tool. 2. Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from dust or nail injury. The safety glasses should conform with the requirements of ANSI Z87.1.

Wear hearing protection to protect your ears against exhaust noise and head protection. Also wear light but not loose clothing. Sleeves should be buttoned or rolled up. No necktie should be worn. 4. Rushing the job or forcing the tool is dangerous. Handle the tool carefully. Do not operate when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or the like. 5.

(3) Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. (4) Respect the tool as a working implement. (5) No horseplay. (6) Do not hold or carry the tool with a finger on the trigger. (7) Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of the operating controls is activated. (8) Do not operate the tool with any power source other than that specified in the tool operating/safety instructions. 6. An improperly functioning tool must not be used. 7. Sparks sometimes fly when the tool is used.
