Woodstock W1774 - Manual (Page 5)

Model W1774 18 Gauge Brad Nailer
-3-
Never point this nailer at yourself
or another person! Always pay
attention to the direction this nailer
is pointed. Use this tool with respect
and caution to lessen the possibility
of operator or bystander injury.
Ignoring this warning may result in
serious personal injury.
Nailer/stapler accidents routinely
happen while moving the gun to
another location, such as up ladders,
to another room, or even another
job site. Always disconnect the gun
immediately after use and never
transport the gun while connected to
the air—even if the air compressor is
disconnected from its power source!
1. HAND INJURIES: Do not place your
hands near the nail point of entry.
A nail can deflect and tear through
the surface of the workpiece,
puncturing your hand or fingers.
2. COMBUSTIBLE GASES: Never
connect the nailer to pressurized
oxygen or other combustible
gases as a power source. Only use
filtered, lubricated, and regulated
compressed air.
3. SAFE HANDLING: Never point
the nailer at others! Do not keep
the trigger pulled when loading
fasteners, carrying, or holding
tool. Carry the nailer only by the
handle, never by any other part.
Do not carry the nailer by the air
hose. Disconnect the nailer from
the air hose when going up and
down ladders.
4. CLEANING: Never use gasoline or
other flammable liquids to clean
the nailer; vapors in the nailer will
ignite by a spark and cause it to
explode.
Additional Safety for Nailers/Staplers
5. HOSE USAGE: Make sure your air
hose is designed for the tool in
use, is in good condition, and is
long enough to reach your work
without stretching. However, an
overly long air hose in the work
area may be a tripping hazard.
6. OPERATING QUESTIONS: If you
are not sure about the intended
operation, stop using the nailer.
Seek formal training.
7. MAINTENANCE: Always disconnect
air from the nailer when servicing
or installing nails. During
maintenance, a nailer connected to
air may fire accidentally, causing
serious personal injury.
8. COMPRESSED AIR RATING: Do not
connect the nailer to compressed
air that exceeds 120 PSI.
9. CHECK VALVE: Do not use a check
valve or any other fitting that
allows air to remain in the tool.
10. MODIFICATIONS: DO NOT modify
this tool or bypass safety nose
mechanisms.
