Safety Always assume the tool contains fasteners. Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others….. NO HORSEPLAY!! Always assume the tool contains fasteners. Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others….. NO HORSEPLAY!! Do not load fasteners with trigger depressed. This will prevent unintentional firing of a fastener. Do not load fasteners with trigger depressed. This will prevent unintentional firing of a fastener. Load fasteners with tool disconnected from air supply Load fasteners with tool disconnected from air supply

Safety Connect attachment (nailer, impact wrench…) to air supply hose with a coupling that removes all pressure from the tool when the coupling is disconnected. Tool driving mechanism may cycle when tool is first connected to air supply.
