[. . . ] Wear hearing protection to protect your ears against exhaust noise and head protection. Do not operate when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or the like. general Tool Handling Guidelines: (1) Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. (2) Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains fasteners or not. [. . . ] Operators and others in work area must wear safety glasses with side shields. Keep fingers away from trigger when not driving fasteners to avoid accidental firing. The graph shows the relation between nailing frequency, applicable pressure and compressor air output. Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to assure continuous, efficient nailing operation. 7 kgf/cm2G (150 PSIG) or 150 percent of the maximum pressure produced in the system whichever is higher. CAUTION: Low air output of the compressor, or a long or smaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailing frequency may cause a decrease in the driving capability of the tool. Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of approximately 40 times per minute at a compression of 6. 0 kgf/cm2G (85 PSIG) , a compressor with an air output over 3 ft3/minute is required. Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure exceeds the tool's rated pressure. Failure to do so may result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the vicinity. Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every 30 nails. When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air fitting. For proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of times after pneumatic tool oil is introduced. CAUTION: Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before adjusting or checking function on the tool. CAUTION: Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before carrying out any work on the tool. When nailing workpieces with easily-marred surfaces, use the nose adapter. When not in use, store the nose adapter at the rear of the tool to keep it from being lost. When loading 65 (2-1/2") or 75 (3") mm long nails, use the middle step. When loading 45 (1-3/4") or 50 (2") or 57 (2-1/4") mm long nails, use the top step. If the tool is operated with the coil support plate set to the wrong step, poor nail feed or malfunction of the tool may result. Place the first nail in the driver channel and the second nail in the feed claw. Close the magazine cap and door after checking to see that the nail coil is set properly in the magazine. [. . . ] When the tool is not to be used for an extended period of time, lubricate the tool using pneumatic tool oil and store the tool in a safe place. Check regularly to see if there is sufficient pneumatic oil in the oiler of the air set. Keep the air hose away from heat (over 60°C, over 140°F), away from chemicals (thinner, strong acids or alkalis). Also, route the hose away from obstacles which it may become dangerously caught on during operation. [. . . ]
