[. . . ] Symbols END106-2 The following show the symbols used for the equipment. Be sure that you understand their meaning before use. The safety glasses and the face shield should conform with the requirements of AS/NZS 1336. WARNING: It is an employer's responsibility to enforce the use of safety eye protection equipment by the tool operators and by other persons in the immediate working area. [. . . ] When nailing against perpendicular surface, nail from the top to the bottom. You can perform nailing operations with less fatigue by doing so. ⷠA nail will be bent or the tool can become jammed if you mistakenly nail on top of another nail or strike a knot in the wood. The nail may be thrown and hit someone, or the tool itself can react dangerously. Do not leave the loaded tool or the air compressor under pressure for a long time out in the sun. Be sure that dust, sand, chips and foreign matter will not enter the tool in the place where you leave it setting. ⷠDo not point the ejection port at anyone in the vicinity. Keep hands and feet away from the ejection port area. ⷠWhen the air hose is connected, do not carry the tool with your finger on the trigger or hand it to someone in this condition. Handle the tool carefully, as there is high pressure inside the tool that can be dangerous if a crack is caused by rough handling (dropping or striking). Stop nailing operations immediately if you notice something wrong or out of the ordinary with the tool. Before nailing, set the lock lever in the "FREE " position. When not in use, always set it in the "LOCK " position and disconnect the hose from the tool. The air pressure used for this nailer is higher than that for other general finishing nailers. Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to assure continuous, efficient nailing operation. 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. Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before adjusting the depth of nailing. The depth of nailing is the deepest when the adjuster is turned fully in the A direction shown in the figure. It will become shallower as the adjuster is turned in the B direction. Always lock the trigger and disconnect the hose before changing the hook installation position and using the hook. The hook can be installed on either side of the tool. When changing the installation position, remove the screw from the hook. [. . . ] Cleaning of tool Blow off dust by using an air duster. 25) When not in use, lock the trigger and disconnect the hose. 26) 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. When connecting air hose, never place a finger on the trigger. [. . . ]
