1. OPERATORS AND OTHERS IN WORK AREA

MUST WEAR EYE PROTECTION (SAFETY

GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS). When operating the Nailer, always wear safety glasses with side shields, and make sure others in work area wear safety glasses, too. Safety glasses must conform to the requirements of American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1 and provide protection against fl ying particles both from the front and side. Ordinary eyeglasses do not provide adequate protection. SAFETY IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - FOR USING NAILERS INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS ● General To reduce the risks of electric shock, fi re, and injury to persons, READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE TOOL. DANGER The employer must enforce the use of safety glasses by the Nailer operator and others in work area.

2. NEVER USE REACTIVE GASES OR OTHER

BOTTLED GASES. EXPLOSION MAY OCCUR. Never use reactive gases such as oxygen, combustible gases or any other bottled gases as a power source for the Nailer. Use of the above gases is dangerous, as the Nailer will explode. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air. WARNING

3. NEVER POINT TOOL AT YOURSELF OR OTHERS

IN WORK AREA. Always assume that the Nailer contains fasteners. Never point the Nailer toward yourself or others, whether it contains fasteners or not. If fasteners are mistakenly driven, it can lead to severe injuries. Never engage in horseplay with the Nailer. Respect the Nailer as a working implement.

4. DO NOT PLACE FINGER ON DOUBLE TRIGGER

(TRIGGER AND LOCK LEVER) AND KEEP

ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE. Never carry the Nailer with fi nger on double trigger since you could drive a fastener unintentionally and injure yourself or someone else. Always carry the Nailer by the handle only.

5. KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT TRIGGER

FASTENERS. 000BookNP35AUS.indb4000BookNP35AUS.indb4 2018/05/089:28:152018/05/089:28:155 English SAFETY — Continued WARNING When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, Including the following:

(1) Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fi re, and injury to persons. (2) Do not operate the Nailer in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases, or combustible dust. The Nailer is able to create sparks resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes. (3) Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the Nailer. Distractions are able to result in the loss of control of the Nailer.

(1) Stay alert. Focus on your work and use common sense when working with the Nailer. Do not use the Nailer while tired, after having consumed drugs or alcohol, or while under the infl uence of medication. A moment of inattention while operating the Nailer increases the risk of injury to persons. (2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts. (3) Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is off before connecting to the air supply. Do not carry the Nailer with your fi nger on the switch or connect the Nailer to the air supply with the switch on. (4) – Disconnect the Nailer from the air source before making adjustments, doing Nailer maintenance, clearing jams, attaching or removing the nose cap, when not in use, leaving work area, leaving the Nailer outside of the operator’s supervision or control, loading, or unloading the Nailer, handing it to another person, elevating, lowering or otherwise moving the Nailer to a new location. Never attempt to clear a jam or repair the Nailer unless you have disconnected air hose from the Nailer and removed all remaining fasteners from the Nailer. The Nailer should never be left unattended since people who are not familiar with the Nailer might handle it and injure the themselves. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of injury to persons. (5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the Nailer in unexpected situations. (6) Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions. (7) – Risk of hearing loss. Wear hearing protection. Hearing protection shall have a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) determined in accordance with US Environmental Protection Agency rules that is appropriate for noise exposure. (8) Always wear head protection. Always wear head protection to protect your head from fl ying objects. (9) Do not attach the hose or Nailer to your body. Attach the hose to the structure to reduce the risk of loss of balance if the hose shifts.

) – Drive Nails into proper work surface only. Do not drive nail into other nails. This is able to cause the fastener to be defl ected and hit someone, or cause the Nailer to react and result in a risk of injury to persons.

3. Nailer use and care

(1) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control. (2) Do not force the Nailer. Use the correct Nailer for the application. The correct Nailer will do the job better and safer at the rate for which the Nailer is designed. (3) Do not use the Nailer if the switch does not turn the Nailer on or off . Any Nailer that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Never use Nailer which is defective or operating abnormally. If the Nailer appears to be operating unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a metabo HPT authorized service center. 000BookNP35AUS.indb5000BookNP35AUS.indb5 2018/05/089:28:152018/05/089:28:156 English (4) Disconnect the Nailer from the air source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Nailer. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the Nailer unintentionally. (5) Store the Nailer when it is idle out of reach of children and other untrained persons. A Nailer is dangerous in the hands of untrained users. (6) Maintain the Nailer with care. Keep the Nailer Clean and lubricated for better and safer performance. (7) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may aff ect the Nailer’s operation. If damaged, have the Nailer serviced before using. Because of high air pressure in the Nailer, cracks in the surface are dangerous. To avoid this, do not drop the Nailer or strike the Nailer against hard surfaces; and do not scratch or engrave signs on the Nailer. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained Nailers. There is a risk of bursting if the Nailer is damaged. (8) Do not use the Nailer that is not in proper working order. Tags and physical segregation shall be used for control. (9) Use only accessories that are identifi ed by metabo HPT for the specifi c Nailer. Use of an accessory not intended for use with the specifi c Nailer , increases the risk of injury to persons.

) Use only those fasteners listed in the Accessories section of this manual. Fasteners not identifi ed for use with this Nailer by metabo HPT are able to result in a risk of injury to persons or Nailer damage when used in this Nailer.

(1) Tool service must be performed only by qualifi ed repair personnel. (2) When servicing a Nailer, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts. (3) Use only the lubricants supplied with the Nailer or specifi ed by metabo HPT.

(1) Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm

) if a regulator fails. Over pressurizing the Nailer is able to result in bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the Nailer or serious injury to persons. DO NOT EXCEED 100 psi (6.9 bar 7 kgf/cm

Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as marked on the Nailer. Always verify prior to using the Nailer that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range. (2) Never use reactive gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the Nailer. Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to persons.

(1) Be careful of unwanted ejection or being hit by the Nailer due to spring back (“recoil”). After driving a nail, the Nailer may recoil causing it to move away from the work surface. To reduce risk of injury always manage recoil by:

1) always maintaining control of the Nailer.

2) allowing recoil to move the Nailer away from work

3) not resisting recoil such that the Nailer will be

forced back into the work surface.

4) pulling the trigger rapidly and fi rmly, and releasing

5) keeping face and body parts away from the Nailer.

(2) Never Use NON relieving coupler on Nailer. If a non relieving coupler is used on the Nailer, the Nailer can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener even after disconnecting. The Nailer and air hose must have a hose coupling such that all pressure is removed from the Nailer when the coupling joint is disconnected. (3) Check double trigger before use. The Nailer will not operate unless you pull the lock lever before you pull the trigger.

Clear the area of children or unauthorized personnel. AIR SUPPLY DANGER

NEVER use reactive gases or other bottled gases. Explosion may occur. WARNING

Never connect Nailer to pressure which potentially exceeds 200 psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm

Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source for this Nailer.

Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this Nailer must comply with the requirements of the latest version of ANSI Standard B 19.3 “Safety Standard For Compressors For Process Industries”.

Moisture or oil in the air compressor may accelerate wear and corrosion in the Nailer. Drain daily.

Use a regulator with a pressure range of 0 – 100 psi (0 – 6.9 bar 0 – 7 kgf/cm

Filter-regulator-lubricator units supply an optimum condition for the Nailer and extend the Nailer life. These units should always be used. Filter ................ The fi lter removes moisture and dirt mixed in compressed air. Drain daily unless fi tted with an automatic drain. Keep the fi lter clean by regular maintenance. Regulator ......... The regulator controls the operating pressure for safe operation of the Nailer. Inspect the regulator before operation to be sure it operates properly. Lubricator ........ The lubricator supplies an oil mist to the Nailer. Inspect the lubricator before operation to be sure the supply of lubricant is adequate. Use metabo HPT pneumatic tool lubricant. Nailer Side Filter Lubricator Compressor Side Regulator
