first week on handyman jobsite: accidentally set the compressor to 500 psi on a siding job

man, first week as a handyman apprentice and i already feel like a total idiot. was helping with some exterior siding install, using the air compressor to power the nail gun, and somehow i cranked the pressure up to 500 psi thinking it was set right. next thing you know, the damn thing blows out the hose fitting and shoots nails everywhere, nearly taking out the homeowner's prized rose bush. spent the next hour cleaning up and apologizing while the lead guy laughed his ass off. watched this essential craftsman video on tool safety before starting, but clearly didn't absorb enough. now i'm double-checking everything, even the DeWalt nailer settings. anyone got tips for not screwing up basic stuff like this early on? feeling like i might get booted already.

dude, been there on my first siding gig, compressor mishaps are like initiation rites. you'll laugh about it later once you get the hang of it.
