exerting force on the front of the barrel. Never place
your fingers or hands over muzzle end of the tool.
The safe position for hands and fingers are as shown

tool muzzle or barrel. In the event of an accidental
discharge, the piston and/or fastener can cause
serious injury to the operator's hand.

possible. This will limit the possibility of fastener
ricochet which could cause serious injury or death to
the operator or bystanders.

bystanders and the operator.

adjustment level to 1. If the fastener does not fully set
in the base material increase the power level to 2 and
so on until proper penetration is achieved. If proper
penetration is not achieved using 3/green charge and
power level 3, the next strongest charge should be
used. Operator should then follow the above procedure
regarding power level adjustment until proper
penetration is achieved.
nOTE:
Over driving or over powering a fastener can
cause a safety hazard.
4. To make a fastening, place the tool against the work
surface. Always hold the tool perpendicular to the
