Keep this manual with the tool. Keep work area clean and properly lighted. • Keep children, bystanders and visitors at a safe distance from work area while operating this tool. • Air tool operators and all others in work area should always wear safety goggles complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 to prevent eye injury from fasteners and flying debris when loading, operating and unloading this tool Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. These are NOT safety glasses. ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses have permanently attached rigid, hard plastic side shields and will have "Z87.1" printed or stamped on them. • Always wear ear protection. The work area may include exposure to excessive noise levels which will require necessary ear protection. Some environments will require head protection; use head protection conforming to ANSI Z89.1. Do not alter or modify this tool in any way. Do not use this tool for any application other than for which it was designed. Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, high-pressure compressed gas or bottled gases as the power source for this tool. The tool will explode and serious personal injury could result. • Never connect the tool to air pressure which could potentially exceed 200 psi. Use only clean, dry, regulated air within rated range as marked on tool. • The tool must have a male, free-flow hose coupling so that all air pressure is removed from the tool when the coupling joint is disconnected. Failure to use proper coupling could cause accidental discharge, possibly causing injury. • Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater. Do not use a hose swivel connector with this tool. Do not pull trigger or depress contact trip while connecting to the air supply, as the tool may cycle, possiblycausing injury. • When loading tool: Do not pull trigger or depress contact trip; Do not point the tool at yourself or others; Do not prace hand or any part of body in the fastener discharge area of the tool as accidental actuation may occur and cause injury. Disconnect tool from air supply before loading or unloading, performing tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location or handing the tool to another person. • Use Sears recommended fasteners only. • Do not load the tool until you are ready to use it. • Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others at all times. Never engage in horseplay. Never pull the trigger unless the contact trip is in contact with the workpiece. Keep others at a safe distance from the tool while the tool is in operation, • Always remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with finger on or under the trigger as accidental actuation may occur and cause injury. • Always keep hands and body away from the fastener discharge area when air supply is connected to the tool. Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. If contact trip is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is released, an unwanted fastener may be driven. • Check operation of the contact trip frequently. Never use the tool if the contact trip, trigger or springs have become inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove contact trip, trigger or springs. Never use a tool that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair. • Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep an angle. The fasteners can ricochet and cause injury. Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split, allowing the fastener to fly free and cause injury. Do not attempt to drive fasteners into hard or brittle materials such as concrete, steel or tile. • Do not overreach. Always place yourself in a firmly balanced position when using or handling the tool. Do not attach the hose or tool to your body. • Do not operate tool without fasteners or damage to tool may result. • Do not use tool without safety warning label.
