Tool Handling Safety

1.  Always be sure tool is operating 

properly before attempting to use  
it. Follow the “Daily Function Check” 
shown to the right and described  

on page 9.

2.   Always load tool using a strip load 

selected directly from a box indicating  
the power load type and number. 
Never attempt to use loose strip 
loads that could be mis-identified.

3.  Never carry loose strip loads in pockets 

with pins or other hard objects.

4.  Never load a tool unless you intend 

to immediately make a fastening. 

Loading a tool and leaving it unattended 
in the work area can result in the tool 
being accidentally discharged by others.

5.   Never place your hand or any other 

body part over the fastener loading 
end of the tool. 

Serious hand injury 

could result from being struck by either 
a fastener or the tool piston should the 
tool be accidentally fired.

6.   Always store the tool unloaded and 

keep the tool and the loads securely 
locked in a tool box. Keep keys away 
from children and unlicensed persons.

7.   Always keep the tool pointed away 

from yourself and others.

8.   Never carry a loaded tool around 

 

the work area.

9.   Never allow anyone not trained 

 

to use the tool.

10.  Never engage in horseplay with  

the tool.

11.  Using the tool in poorly ventilated 

areas, cleaning tool or handling 
loads may result in exposure to  
lead or other substances known  
to cause birth defects, and other 
physical harm. Have adequate  
ventilation at all times and wash 
thoroughly after exposure.
