EN
y
Read and understand these warnings
to prevent injuries to yourself and
bystanders. Refer to tool use, mainte-
nance and troubleshooting sections for
additional information.
y
Failure to follow warnings could result in serious injury.
y
Do not discard.
_______________________________________________
y
Operators and others in work area shall wear
impact-resistant eye protection with side shields.
Failure to do so can cause serious injury. CE
equivalent to EN166
_______________________________________________
y
Always wear other personal protective
equipment such as hearing, gloves and
hard hat.
y
Only wear gloves that provide adequate
feel and safe control of triggers and
adjusting devises.
y
Operators and others in work area shall wear hearing
protection.
y
Unprotected exposure to high noise levels can cause per-
manent, disabling, hearing loss and other problems such as
tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears).
y
Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions
such as damping materials to prevent workpieces from
"ringing".
y
Use appropriate hearing protection.
y
Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in these
instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in noise
levels.
y
If the tool has a silencer, always ensure it is in place and in
good working order when the tool is being operated.
_______________________________________________
y
Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage
to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and
arms.
y
Wear warm clothing when working in cold condi-
tions, keep your hands warm and dry.
y
If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or
whitening of the skin in your fingers or hands, seek medical
advice from a qualified occupational health professional
regarding overall activities.
y
Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in these
instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration
levels.
y
Hold the tool with a light, but safe, grip because the risk
from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is
higher.
_______________________________________________
y
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
_______________________________________________
y
Only use correct energy supply as directed
y
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or any
other bottled gas as a power source for
this tool; the tool will explode and cause
serious injury.
y
Using oxygen or combustible gases for
pneumatic tools creates a fire or explosion hazard.
_______________________________________________
y
Always remove finger from trigger when
not driving fasteners. Never carry the
tool with finger on or under trigger. Tool
will eject a fastener if the workpiece
contact is bumped.
y
Tool's resting position is on its side disconnected from air.
y
Resting position includes removing finger from trigger
and positioning tool so that the workpiece contact is not
actuated.
_______________________________________________
y
Always assume the tool contains fasteners. Keep the tool
pointed away from yourself and others. No horseplay.
Respect the tool as a working implement.
y
Keep hands and legs away from firing direction.
y
Only skilled operators should use fastener driving tools.
_______________________________________________
y
Drive fasteners into work surface
only; never into materials too hard
to penetrate.
y
Addition downforce is required for
steel and concrete tools.
y
During operation, debris from from
workpiece & collation system may be discharged.
y
Ensure tool is always safely engaged on the workpiece
and cannot slip.
_______________________________________________
y
Tools equipped with "Contact Actuation" shall
not be used:
If a change of driving locations is effected via
‡
stairs, ladders or scaffolding.
For closing boxes or crates.
‡
For fitting transportation safety systems.
‡
Moving platforms
‡
y
Read and understand risk associated with selective actua-
tion in "Tool Use" Section.
_______________________________________________
y
Do not force tool. Let the tool do the work. Use the cor-
rect tool for your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
y
Do not overeach
y
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
_______________________________________________
y
Do not drive fasteners on top of
other fasteners or with the tool at
too steep of an angle.
y
Fastener could deflect and cause
injury.
_______________________________________________
y
When using tool, care should be taken due to
possibility of tool recoil after a fastener is driven.
If workpiece contact is unintentionally allowed
to re-contact work surface following a recoil, an
unwanted fastener will be driven. Therefore, allow
tool to recoil completely off work surface after a fastener
is driven to avoid this condition. Do not push workpiece
contact on work surface until a second fastener is
desired.
