WARNING – When using tools, basic

precautions should always be followed,

including the following:

General

a. To reduce the risks of electric shock,

re, and injury to persons, read all the

instructions before using the tool.

Work area

a. Keep the work area clean and well

lighted. Cluttered benches and dark

areas increase the risks of electric

shock, re, and injury to persons.

b. Do not operate the tool in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence

of ammable liquids, gases, or dust.

The tool is able to create sparks resulting

in the ignition of the dust or fumes.

c. Keep bystanders, children, and

visitors away while operating the tool.

Distractions are able to result in the loss

of control of the tool.

Personal safety

a. Stay alert. Watch what you are

doing and use common sense when

operating the tool. Do not use the

tool while tired or under the inuence

of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating

the tool increases the risk of injury

to persons.

b. Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.

Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry, or long hair increases the risk

of injury to persons as a result of being

caught in moving parts.

c. Avoid unintentional starting. Be

sure the trigger is released before

connecting to the air supply. Do not

carry the tool with your nger on the

trigger or connect the tool to the air

supply with the trigger pressed.

d. Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables

better control of the tool in

unexpected situations.

e. Use safety equipment. A

dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes and a hard hat must be

used for the applicable

conditions. Wear heavy-duty work

gloves during use.

f. Always wear eye protection.

Wear ANSI-approved safety

goggles with side shields.

g. Always wear hearing

protection when using the

tool. Prolonged exposure to

high intensity noise is able to

cause hearing loss.

h. Do not attach the hose or tool to your

body. Attach the hose to the structure to

reduce the risk of loss of balance if the

hose shifts.

i. Always assume that the tool contains

fasteners. Do not point the tool toward

yourself or anyone whether it contains

fasteners or not.

j. WARNING – Do not re fastener on

top of another fastener. This is able to

cause the fastener to be deected and

hit someone, or cause the tool to react

and result in a risk of injury to persons.

k. WARNING – Remove nger from the

trigger when not driving fasteners.

Page 4 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. SKU 68018

Never carry the tool with nger on

trigger, the tool is able to re a fastener.

Tool use and care

a. Use clamps or another practical way

to secure and support the workpiece

to a stable platform. Holding the work

by hand or against the body is unstable

and can lead to loss of control.

b. Do not force the tool. Use the correct

tool for the application. The correct tool

will do the job better and safer at the rate

for which the tool is designed.

c. Do not use the tool if the trigger does

not turn the tool on or off. Any tool

that cannot be controlled with Trigger is

dangerous and must not be used

until repaired.

d. Disconnect the tool from the air

source before making adjustments,

doing tool maintenance, clearing

jams, touching the safety nosepiece,

leaving work area, loading, or

unloading the tool. Such precautionary

measures reduce the risk of injury

to persons.

e. Store the tool when it is idle out of

reach of children and other untrained

persons. A tool is dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

f. Maintain the tool with care. A properly

maintained tool reduces the risk of

binding and is easier to control.

g. Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts,

and any other condition that affects

the tool’s operation. If damaged,

have the tool serviced before using.

Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained tools. There is a risk of

bursting if the tool is damaged.

h. Use only accessories that are

identied by the manufacturer for

the specic tool model. Use of an

accessory not intended for use with the

specic tool model, increases the risk of

injury to persons.

i. Use only those fasteners listed in the

Specications chart of this manual.

Fasteners not identied for use with this

tool by the tool manufacturer are able to

result in a risk of injury to persons or tool

damage when used in this tool.

Service

a. Tool service must be performed only

by qualied repair personnel.

b. When servicing a tool, use only

identical replacement parts. Use only

authorized parts.

c. Use only the lubricants supplied

with the tool or specied by the

manufacturer.

Air source

a. Never connect to an air

source that is capable of

exceeding 200 PSI. Over

pressurizing the tool may

cause bursting, abnormal operation,

breakage of the tool or serious injury to

persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated

compressed air at the rated pressure or

within the rated pressure range as

marked on the tool. Always verify prior to

using the tool that the air source has

been adjusted to the rated air pressure

or within the rated air-pressure range.

b. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide,

combustible gases or any bottled gas

as an air source for the tool. Such

gases are capable of explosion and

serious injury to persons.

Vibration Precautions

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated

or long-term exposure to vibration may cause

temporary or permanent physical injury,

particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.

To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly

or for an extended period should rst

be examined by a doctor and then have

regular medical check-ups to ensure

medical problems are not being caused

or worsened from use. Pregnant

women or people who have impaired

blood circulation to the hand, past hand

injuries, nervous system disorders,

diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease

should not use this tool. If you feel any

symptoms related to vibration (such as

tingling, numbness, and white or blue

ngers), seek medical advice as soon

as possible.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine

reduces the blood supply to the hands

and ngers, increasing the risk of

vibration-related injury.

3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the

vibration effects on the user.

4. Use tools with the lowest vibration

when there is a choice between

different processes.

5. Include vibration-free periods each day

of work.

6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still

keeping safe control of it). Let the tool

do the work.

7. To reduce vibration, maintain tool as

Air Supply

TO PREVENT

EXPLOSION:

Use only clean, dry, regulated,

compressed air to power this

tool. Do not use oxygen, carbon

dioxide, combustible gases, or

any other bottled gas as a power

source for this tool.

1. Connect a regulator valve, an in-line shut

off valve and 1/4” NPT air hose (all sold

separately) to the Quick Coupler. Use

thread tape on all threaded connections.

The air hose must be long enough to

reach the work area with enough extra

length to allow free movement while

working. An in-line shutoff ball valve

is an important safety device because

it controls air supply even if air hose

is ruptured. The shutoff valve should

be a ball valve because it can be

closed quickly. See pages 8 and 9 for

Air Tool Setup procedures.

Note: If an automatic oiler system is not

used, add a few drops of Pneumatic

Tool Oil into the airline connection before

operation. Add a few more drops after

each hour of continual use.

2. Attach air hose to compressor’s air

outlet. Connect air hose to air inlet of

tool. Other components, such as coupler

plug and industrial-grade quick coupler,

will make operation more efcient, but

are not required.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS

INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL

OPERATION: Do not install a quick

coupler on the tool. A coupler contains

an air valve that will allow the air tool to

retain pressure and operate accidentally

after the air supply is disconnected.

Note: Air ow, and therefore tool

performance, can be hindered by

undersized air supply components.

3. The air hose must be long enough to

reach work area with enough extra

length to allow free movement.

4. Release Trigger (32).

5. Close the in-line safety valve between

the compressor and the tool.

6. Turn on the air compressor according to

the manufacturer’s directions and allow it

to build up pressure until it cycles off.

7. Adjust the air compressor’s output

regulator so that the air output is enough

to properly power the tool, but the output

will not exceed the tool’s maximum air

pressure at any time. Adjust pressure

gradually, while checking the air output

gauge to set the right pressure.

8. The air pressure setting must not exceed

job site regulations/restrictions. The air

pressure setting must not exceed 90 PSI

when being used with work pieces that

have a thickness of less than 1-3/4”.

9. Inspect the air connections for leaks.

Repair any leaks found.

10. If tool will not be used at this time,

turn off and detach air supply, safely

discharge any residual air pressure,

and release Trigger to prevent

accidental operation.

Note: Residual air pressure should not be

present after the tool is disconnected

from the air supply. However, it is a

good safety measure to attempt to

discharge the tool in a safe fashion after

disconnecting to ensure that the tool is

disconnected and unpowered.

Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

1. Designate a work area that is clean and

well-lit. The work area must not allow

access by children or pets to prevent

distraction and injury.

2. Route the air hose along a safe path to

reach the work area without creating a

tripping hazard or exposing the air hose

to possible damage. The air hose must

be long enough to reach the work area

with enough extra length to allow free

movement while working.

3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise

or clamps (not included) to prevent

movement while working.

4. There must not be hazardous objects

(such as utility lines or foreign objects)

nearby that will present a hazard

while working.
