10.  
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.  
11. 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.  
12. 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.  
13. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are  
removed from the tool or machine work surface before attaching to an air source.  
14. 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.  
15. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense.Do not operate any tool when  
you are tired.  
16. 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.  
17. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as  
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.  
18. 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.  
19. 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.  
20. 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.  
21. Maintenance. The maintenance outlined in the maintenance section should be performed  
regularly. For your safety, this product should be serviced or repaired regularly only by a  
qualified technician.  
22. Compressed air only. Use clean, dry regulated, compressed air at 90 PSI. Never use  
oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any other bottled gas as a power source  
for this tool.  
23.  
Do not load pins with the trigger or safety depressed. Unintentional firing  
may occur. Do not load nails when the air hose is connected to the tool. Always  
assume that the tool contains fasteners.  
24. Disconnect air supply before loading Nailer. Before reloading (or making any  
adjustments to) the Nailer make sure that the compressed air is disconnected.  
25. Fire fasteners into an appropriate work surface only. Do not attempt to fire fasteners  
into surfaces too hard to penetrate. Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or at  
too steep of an angle. Fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury. Never fire the  
Nailer into the air, or point it toward yourself or another person. Always wear ANSI  
approved safety goggles during use, maintenance, and reloading.  
26. Do not fire fasteners too close to the edge of a workpiece. They may split the  
workpiece and fly free, causing personal injury.  
27. Take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper chromium  
arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When stapling or nailing these materials extra  
care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.  
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other  
construction activities, contain 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  
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq. )  
28. Transport Nailer safely. Always disconnect air supply when moving the tool in the  
workplace. Carry the tool by the handle and avoid contact with the trigger.  
Note: Performance of the compressor (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending on  
variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.  
Warning:The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction 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.
