hearing protection [ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] when operating this tool. Keep the nailer pointed away
from yourself and others. For safe operation, complete the following procedures and checks
before each use of the nailer.
NOTE: These nailers are designed to be used without oil.
1. Before you use the nailer, be sure that the compressor tanks have been properly drained.
2. Wear proper eye, hearing and respiratory protection.
3. Lock the magazine release in the back position and remove all fasteners from the
magazine.
4. Check for smooth and proper operation of contact trip and pusher assemblies. Do not use
tool if either assembly is not functioning properly. NEVER use a tool that has the contact
trip restrained in the up position.
5. Check air supply. Ensure that air pressure does not exceed recommended operating limits;
70 to 120 psi, (4.9 to 8.3 bar, 5 to 8.5 kg/cm 2 ).
6. Connect air hose.
7. Check for audible leaks around valves and gaskets. Never use a tool that leaks or has
damaged parts.
USING THE LOCK-OFF (FIG. 1, 2)
To reduce the risk of injury. ALWAYS wear proper eye [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA
Z94.3)] and hearing protection [ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] when operating this tool.

rotated to the right (OFF) when the tool is not in use. Serious personal injury may result.
Lock off trigger, disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners from
magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may result.
Each PORTER-CABLE nailer is equipped with a trigger lock-off switch (J) which when rotated
to the right, prevents the tool from actuating. When the switch is in the unlocked position, the
tool will be fully operational. The trigger should always be locked off whenever any adjustments
are made or when tool is not in use.

• verrouiller la détente;
• débrancher la source d’alimentation en air;
• éviter tout contact avec la détente lors des réglages.
• Ne pas enfoncer des clous à l’aveuglette dans les murs, les planchers et autres zones
de travail. Des attaches enfoncées dans des fils électriques sous tension, de la plomberie
ou d’autres types d’obstacles peuvent entraîner des blessures. (fig. U)
• Rester vigilant, faire attention au travail en cours et faire preuve de jugement dans
l’utilisation de tout outil électrique. Ne pas utiliser d’outil en cas de fatigue ou sous
l’emprise de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un simple moment d’inattention en
utilisant un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures corporelles graves.
Les scies, meules, ponceuses, perceuses ou autres outils de construc-
tion peuvent produire des poussières contenant des produits chimiques reconnus par l’État
californien pour causer cancers, malformations congénitales ou être nocifs au système repro-
ducteur. Parmi ces produits chimiques, on retrouve :
• le plomb dans les peintures à base de plomb ;
• la silice cristallisée dans les briques et le ciment ou autres articles de maçonnerie ; et
• l’arsenic et le chrome dans le bois ayant subi un traitement chimique.
Le risque associé à de telles expositions varie selon la fréquence à laquelle on effectue ces
travaux. Pour réduire toute exposition à ces produits : travailler dans un endroit bien aéré,
en utilisant du matériel de sécurité homologué tel un masque antipoussières spéciale-
ment conçu pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.
