•
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when using or handling the
tool.
•
Fire fasteners into work surface only:
never
into materials too hard to penetrate. (Fig. 15)
•
Grip tool firmly to maintain control while
allowing tool to recoil away from work surface
as fastener is driven.
In “Contact Actuation
Mode” if safety element is allowed to re-contact
work surface before trigger is released an
unwanted fastener will be fired.
•
Do not drive fasteners on top of other
fasteners
, or with the tool at too steep an angle:
the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury.
(Fig. 15)
•
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the
workpiece.
The workpiece is likely to split
allowing the fastener to fly free or ricochet causing
personal injury. (Fig. 16)
•
FOR TOOLS USED IN CONTACT ACTUATION
MODE, Do not use on scaffoldings or ladders
or for tasks in which changing location involves
the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the
like. Do not use for specific tasks such as closing
boxes or crates or fitting transportation safety
systems on vehicles and wagons. (Fig. 17)
•
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
•
Make sure hose is free of obstructions or
snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause
loss of balance or footing.
•
Always keep fingers clear of nail track of
magazine to prevent injury from inadvertent
release of the pusher.
(Fig. 18)
•
Refer to the Maintenance section for detailed
information on the proper maintenance of the
tool.
•
Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted
area.
Be sure the work surface is clear of any
debris and be careful not to lose footing when
working in elevated environments such as
rooftops.
•
Do not use tool in the presence of flammable
dust, gases or fumes.
The tool may produce a
spark that could ignite gases causing a fire.
Driving a nail into another nail may also cause a
spark. (Fig. 19)
