24.Do not engrave or stamp anything into the housing to avoid weakening it.
25.WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
???Lead from lead-based paints
???Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products
???Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health
& Safety Code ?? 25249.5, et seq.)
WARNING: The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (California Health & Safety code
?? 25249.5, et seq.)
26.The warnings and precautions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Vibration Precautions
1.Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud???s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2.Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3.Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4.Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
5.Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6.Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7.To reduce vibration, maintain tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibration occurs, stop immediately.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
5.If the tool requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient, unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the pressure
(PSI) output of the regulator up to the maximum air pressure rating of this tool.
CAUTION! TO PREVENT TOOL AND
ACCESSORY FAILURE, RESULTING IN INJURY: Do not exceed the tool???s maximum air pressure rating.
If the tool still does not have sufficient force at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow, then a larger tool may be required.
Note: While working on roofs, tar and dirt may build up on the Nose of the
Roofing Nailer. This can prevent normal operation. Remove buildup with a nonflammable solvent. NEVER use gasoline or other flammable solvents. Do not immerse the Roofing Nailer in an approved solvent beyond the height of the nail heads, to avoid getting the solvent into the drive cylinder of the tool. Dry off the Roofing Nailer before use; any oil film left after cleanup will accelerate tar buildup.
6.After use, to prevent accidents:
a.Release the trigger.
b.Detach the air supply.
c.Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it is incapable of firing any fasteners.
d.Release the trigger again.
e.Clean external surfaces with clean, dry cloth.
f.Store indoors out of children???s reach.
2.Remove the jammed fasteners with pliers.
3.If a fastener is jammed in the Magazine, lift open the Latch, and then swing back the moveable Cover Plate and then the
Magazine Cover.
4.Uncoil the fasteners and, if necessary, use a screwdriver to release the jammed fastener.
5.Pull out the jammed fastener.
6.If you are unable to clear the fastener jam using the method prescribed above, the tool should be taken to a qualified service technician for proper servicing.
