Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a
fastener to be directed toward anything other than
the workpiece.

OPERATION
Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate properly.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the trigger is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Check operation of the workpiece contact mechanism
frequently.
Do not use the tool if the workpiece contact
mechanism is not working correctly as accidental driving
of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper
operation of the workpiece contact mechanism.
Use only fasteners that are recommended for your
model.
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the
trigger.
Accidental discharge could result.
Always handle the tool with care:
• Respect the tool as a working implement.
• Never engage in horseplay.
• Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed toward
the work.
• Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool is in
operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly
causing injury.
Choice of triggering method is important. Check
manual for triggering options.
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a
fastener into the workpiece.
Keep fingers away from trigger when not driving
fasteners to avoid accidental firing.
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 and let the tool do the work. 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.
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material.
The
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,
injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail may
follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude
unexpectedly from the side of the work material.
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.
