9. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles
and appropriate hearing protection. Wear a full face shield if you are producing
metal filings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or respirator
when working around metal, wood, and chemical dusts and mists. Other people
in the work area must also wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles.
10. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords and air hoses
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handle
must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times. Do not operate a tool if
any portion of the tool’s operating controls are inoperable, disconnected, altered or not
working properly.
11. Disconnect Air Hose and release any built-up air pressure. Never service the Nailer,
clear jams, or disassemble with the air hose attached. Always release any built-up air
even after disconnecting hose. Disconnect the Nailer when not in use.
12. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is in the Off position when not in use
and before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your finger on the trigger, whether it is
attached to an air source or not. Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone whether
it contains fasteners or not.
13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when
you are tired.
14. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting
fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the tool if
the trigger does not operate properly.
15. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
16. Replacement parts and accessories. This product is to be repaired and serviced only
by a qualified technician. When this product is serviced, only identical replacement parts
should be used. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight
Tools.
17. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels
if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgement or reflexes are impaired
while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
18. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must be of
the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the compressor without heating
up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage
to the tool. Check your air compressor’s manual for the appropriate size cord. It is also
possible that the use of an extension cord may cause your circuit breaker to trip or your
panel fuse to break. If this happens, either use the compressor without an extension
cord or find a larger amperage circuit to use.
