• DO NOT LOAD FASTENERS with trigger or safety
depressed, to prevent unintentional firing of a
fastener.
• REMOVE FINGER FROM TRIGGER when not
driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger on
trigger: tool will fire a fastener if safety is bumped
while trigger is depressed.
• DON’T OVER REACH. 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.
• GRIP TOOL FIRMLY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL
while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface
as fastener is driven. If safety bracket is allowed to
contact work surface again before trigger is
released, an unwanted fastener will be fires.
• 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.
• DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERTS TOO CLOSE to
edge of the work piece. The work piece is likely to
split allowing the fastener to fly free or ricochet,
causing personal injury.
• KEEP TOOL POINTED AWAY from yourself and
others at all times.
• KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS away from area
shown in Fig. 13A to avoid injury.
