HAZARD RISK OF INJURY D24156 WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT • Tools left unattended, or with the air hose attached can be activated by unauthorized persons leading to their injury or injury to others. • Remove air hose when tool is not in use and store tool in secure location away from reach of children. • Air tools can propel fasteners or other materials throughout the work area. • Use only parts, fasteners, and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
HAZARD RISK OF INJURY (continued) WHAT COULD HAPPEN Fasteners could ricochet or be propelled causing serious injury or property damage. HOW TO PREVENT IT Never point discharge of tool at self or others. Do not pull trigger unless tool contact safety device is against work surface. Never attempt to drive fasteners into hard surfaces such as steel, concrete, or tile. Take care to avoid driving a fastener on top of another fastener.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE Do not store the tool in cold weather. Frost or ice can form on the operating valves or mechanisms and the tool may not operate correctly. In cold weather operation (near or below freezing), DO NOT USE a permanent antifreeze such as ethylene glycol for a cold weather lubricant. This type of anitfreeze will damage o-rings and seals of the tool. NOTE: Proper lubrication is the owner's responsibility.
NOTE: Excessive oil will damage o-rings and seal of tool. If in-line oiler is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet is not required on a daily basis. Do not use any type of flammable gases or oxygen as a power source for the tool. Use filtered, lubricated, regulated compressed air only. Use of compressed gas instead of compressed air may cause the tool to explode and cause death or serious personal injury. Do not use a check valve or any other fittings which will allow air to remain in the tool.
