5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

• Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed.POWAIR0312 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 4 www.varo.com

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

• Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.

• Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.

• If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

• Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.POWAIR0312 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 5 www.varo.com

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

• Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRIC STAPLERS

• Before inserting staples or nails the power plug should always be removed from the socket.

• Never point the machine at persons or animals.

• Only use staples or nails which are suitable for the machine.

• Before using the machine, ensure that the safety device is operating properly.

• Never block the safety device.

• Switch the machine off when you take a break and when the work is completed.

• Wear ear protectors.

• Do not activate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected away from your target.

• Do not use the tacker for fastening electrical cables. It is not designed for electric cable installation and may damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing electric shock or fire hazard. 7 SAFETY RULES (FIG. B)

• Use only following fixing devices: − Ga. 18 nail & staple − Nails length: 15-50mm − Staple crown: 5.7mm − Staple length: 16-40mm

• Tools with an inverted triangle can only be used with security elements: this stapler/nailer is equipped with a safety yoke.

• To prevent injuries to yourself and bystanders, refer to tool use, maintenance and troubleshooting sections for additional information (fig 1)

• To prevent eye injuries, always wear safety glasses with hard plastic side shields. Be sure everyone in your work area is wearing the same type of safety glasses (fig 2)

• Always wear hearing protection and hard hat. (fig 3)

• Never use hydrogen oxygen, carbon dioxide or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool, the tool will explode and cause serious injury. (fig4)

• Remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger on trigger, tool will eject fastener If safety is bumped. (fig5)

• Never conned tool to an air hose with pressure exceeds 200 psi or 13.7 BAR (fig6)

9 LUBRICATION An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig 1) as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment.

• It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.POWAIR0312 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 8 www.varo.com

• Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of low air flow or changing air flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tools, O-rings and other rubber parts.

9.1 Depth adjustment (fig. 1)

The depth to which a fastener is driven is controlled by the depth adjustment knob (8). The depth of drive is factory adjusted to a nominal setting. Test fire a fastener and check depth. If a change is desired, rotate the adjustment knob (8). Rotate the knob (8) clockwise to increase the depth of drive, rotate the knob counter clockwise to decrease the depth of drive. Test fire another fastener and check depth again. Repeat as necessary to achieve desired results. The amount of air pressure required will vary depending on the size of the setting to determine the lowest setting that will consistently perform the job at hand. Air pressure in excess of that required can cause premature wear and/or damage to the tool. IMPORTANT! If no filter/ pressure regulator/ lubricator is installed in the compressed air system, then pneumatic tools must be lubricated with 2 to 6 drops of oil at least once a day or after every two hours of use. This must be done directly along the male coupler or the screw (OIL) provided for the purpose on the side of the tool’s housing. Fig. 2

10 MAINTENANCE Disconnect the tool from the compressor before adjusting, clearing jams, servicing &maintenance, relocating and during non operation.

• Regular lubrication, if your tool without using the in-liner automatic oilier, place 2 or 6 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before each work day or after 2 hours of continuous use depending in the characteristic of work piece or type of fasteners.

• Air-operated tools must be inspected periodically, and worn or broken parts must be replaced to keep the tool operating safely and efficiently. Check and change all worn or damaged O-ring, Seals, etc. Tight all the screws and caps in case personal injury.

• Make regular inspection for free movement of trigger, Spring and safety mechanism to assure safe system is complete and functional: no loose and missing parts, no building or stocking parts.

• Keep magazine and nose of tool clean and free of any dirt lint or abrasive particles.

• When temperatures are below freezing, tools should be kept warm by any convenient, safe method.POWAIR0312 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 9 www.varo.com 11 TECHNICAL DATA Model POWAIR0312 Activation mode Single sequential action Max. allowable pressure 120PSI(8.3 bar) Operating pressure 60-100PSI(4-7bar) Air inlet size
