fasteners. 

(2)  Do not point the tool toward yourself or 

anyone whether it contains fasteners or not. 

(3)  Do not activate the tool unless the tool is 

placed firmly against the workpiece. 

(4)  Respect the tool as a working implement. 
(5) No 

horseplay.

• 

Sparks sometimes fly when the tool is used. Do not 
use the tool near volatile, flammable materials such

levels within prescribed limits. In certain cases, 
shutters should be used to contain noise.
