WARNINGS

PERSONAL SAFETY ITEMS 

• Reading the Owner’s Manual prior to using the tool.
• Always wear eye protection that conforms to ANSI requirements (Z87.1) and  provides protection against flying particles both from the front and side.  Eye  protection should be worn by the operator and by others in the work area to  protect against flying fasteners and debris that could possibly cause severe eye  injury.
• The employer is responsible for enforcing the use of eye protection equipment by the tool  operator and all other personnel in the work area.
• To prevent accidental injuries:
  • Handle the tool with care
  •  Always assume that the tool contains fasteners
  • Always disconnect the air hose from the STINGER CN100 when:
    • loading nails and/or caps
    • performing inspection, maintenance or repair
    • clearing a nail or collated cap jam
    • the tool is not in use
    • leaving the work area
    • moving the STINGER CN100 to another work location
    • handing the STINGER CN100 to another person
    • storing the tool
  • Never point the tool toward yourself or anyone else
  • Never engage in horseplay when handling the tool
  •  Never hold or carry the tool with a finger on the trigger
  • Never place a hand or any other part of the body in the fastener discharge area of  the tool while the air supply is connected

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS 

• Use only clean, regulated compressed air as a power source for this tool.  Do not use bocle gases, combus%ble gases or oxygen as a power source for the tool as the tool may explode.
• Do not use air supply pressures that exceed 105 PSI.
• Do not exceed the recommended maximum operating air pressure as tool wear will be greatly  increased.  The air supply must be capable of maintaining the operating air pressure of the tool.
  Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s driving power.
• Use a pressure regulator and gauge to allow visual inspection of the air pressure being delivered to the tool.
• Use air hoses that have rated pressures of up to 150fi of the maximum pressure that can be  generated by the power source.  The supply hose should contain 1/4” figngs that will provide quick disconnecting from the male plug on the tool.
• Use quick connect figngs that allow the tool to be unhooked from the air supply quickly and  easily.
• Do not use figngs that will not allow the tool to exhaust when the air supply is disconnected.

OPERATION OF THE TOOL

• Never inspect, maintain, repair, adjust, clear a jam or store the tool with the air connected.
• Never use the tool in proximity of flammable gases or liquids, as some tools will create sparks that can be an ignition source for a fire or explosion.
• Always inspect the safety device for damage and proper operation, prior to operation.
• Never assume the tool is empty of fasteners.
•   Never point the tool toward yourself or any other persons.
• Never cycle the tool unless it is in contact with the work‐piece.
• Never use the tool as a hammer or wedging device or drop to the floor from any height.
• Always remove your finger from the trigger when pausing from cycling.
• Never tamper with the safety device or use the tool if the safety device is not functioning properly.
• Use only 1” STINGER NailPac® cap nails with the STINGER CN100 Cap Nailer. Never use any fasteners that are not specified for use in this tool. The CN100 holds 1 roll of plastic caps (200 caps) and 1 coil of nails (200 nails each).
