Risk control when using pneumatic tools

Injury risk to head and eyes

WARNING

• Compressed air used with pneumatic tools may be dangerous. Objects like vices, burr, splinters, dust and other residues can get shot out at great speed driven by the airflow and enter your eyes or hit your head. Airflow by itself can cause damage on soft tissues in eears, etc.

Prevent injury to head and eyes

• When operating pneumatic equipment wear protecting eyeglasses complying with ANSI Z87.1 Standard. As an additional protection wear a mask.
• Never aim the airflow to people or animals.
• Disconnect the air hose from the tool when not in use.
• Never leave the tool unattended when connected to the air inlet.
• Before using the tool verify all the parts and accessories are securely fastened.

Risk of explosion
WARNING 

•  Inadequate handling of  pressure in pneumatic equipment may cause an explosion and severe injury. Also, using any gas different from compressed air causes explosions.

Preventing an explosion

• Before using the tools double-check that the compressed air supply is regulated to the tool specified pressure and it not goes over that level.
• Never connect the tool into a pressure supply exceeding 200 PSI, neither oxygen nor any other bottled gas, combustible or reactive.
• Use clean, dry and regulated compressed air with pressure between 75 PSI and 110 PSI

Hearing loss risk
WARNING

• Being exposed to noise generated by  pneumatic tool during long periods of time may damage permanently hearing and cause hearing loss.

Preventing hearing loss

• When operating pneumatic equipment always wear hearing protection complying with ANSI S3.19 Standard.

Risk of injury
WARNING

• Damaged hoses may burst and cause severe injury or hearing loss.
• Vices can get unfastened and get projected causing severe injury or damage to property.
• Tools that start unexpectedly may cause severe injury.
• Tools and accessories with no maintenance may cause severe injury.
• Damaged and banged tools and accessories may cause severe injury.

Preventing injuries

• Do not mistreat the hose or connectors.
• Keep the hose away from sharp or abrasive surfaces.
• Disconnect the hose when loading the cartridge.
• Never use the hose to carry the tool.
•  Never pull the hose to disconnect the tool.
• Do not expose the hose to heat, oil or solvents.
• Before operating the tool, verify that the hoses are not damaged.
• Use hoses that can handle at least 150 PSI or 150% of the system maximum pressure, whichever is higher.
• Double-check al connections are securely installed.

Safety warnings for using air nailers

Before using the nailer

• To prevent possible injuries, the operator and any other person in the work area shall wear safety glasses with side protection as well as protective helmets in compliance with the Official Mexican Standards (NOM).
• Inspect the tool. Never operate a tool if the lock, the trigger or the springs are not operating; are damaged or lost. Do not make any modification to the lock, trigger or springs.

While using the nailer

• To prevent accidental shots keep your fingers away from the trigger when the tool is nor been used.
• Do not point the tool towards your body, people or animals.
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply before loading nails. Thus, preventing a staple will accidentally be shot during the connection process.
• Do not try to insert a staple on the edge or near the edge of the work piece. If the piece breaks or separates, it would shoot the nails with enough power to cause injury.
• Shoot nails only towards the work surface. Never shoot towards surfaces hard to penetrate on top of another staple or having the tool in steep angle. This could make the nails to bounce exposing the operator to severe injury.
• Do not try to load nails when the trigger is pressed. This action shoots a staple unexpectedly.
• When moving the tool, only hold it by the handle. Never activate the trigger while moving. Never carry the tool holding it by the hose or pulling the hose to move the tool.

After using the nailer

• Disconnect the nailer from the air supply before carrying out any maintenance or unblocking job when leaving the work area or if giving it to another operator.

How to verify the correct use of the lock

• The tool is built with a contact lock to prevent an accidental shot.
• To verify its functioning disconnect the tool from the air supply.
• Empty the cartridge (see page 7).
• Double-check the trigger and contact lock can move freely up and down.
• Connect the tool to the air supply.
• Without pressing the trigger press the contact lock against a piece of scrap wood(A). The tool should not shoot. Otherwise stop using it and go to a Authorized Service Center to repair.
• Remove the contact lock from the wood piece (B). The lock shall return to its original position and when pressing the trigger the tool should not shoot. Otherwise stop using it and go to a Authorized Service Center to repair.

Maintenance

Lubrication

• Pneumatic tools require constant lubrication all along their working life and while operating. The compressed air  the tool needs to function contains humidity that can oxidize the tool’s motor and bearings.
  To prevent that possibility it is necessary to constantly administer lubricating oil delivered by a Brand UNI-LL-1/4 centralized filter-oil feeder system installed between the air compressor and the tool.
  **WARNING**   The exhaust immediately expels any excess oil in the motor. Always keep the exhaust free of obstructions and never point it to people or objects.

• If the tool is not going to be used long periods of time it should be carefully lubricated.

• After each 60 hours operation the tool mechanism needs greasing. Keep in mind that grease in excess may diminish power

Service

• Servicing the tool shall be carried out every 3 months in a Authorized Service Center. Maintenance service carried out by a non-qualified person may be dangerous and cause personal injury. It also makes the Warranty void.
• Problems with the tool due to lack of recommended dosed lubrication, to fail in following instructions given in this MANUAL or repairs carried out by personnel not certified by will not be covered in the Warranty. We reserve the right to make technical improvements without previous notice.
