the information given in the operating instructions.
-
stands for mounting the fastener driving tools to a support, for example to a work table, shall be designed and
constructed by the stand manufacturer in such a way that the fastener driving tools can be safely fixed for the
intended use, thus for example avoiding damage, distortion, displacement.
Special fields of application for the fastener driving tool may require the observance of additional provisions and
regulations.
-
only the main energy and lubricants listed in the operating instructions may be used:
-
fastener driving tools marked with an inverted equilateral triangle standing on one point may only be used with an
effective safety yoke;
-
for the maintenance of fastener driving tools, only spare parts specified by the manufacturer or his authorized
representative shall be used;
-
repairs shall be carried out only by agents authorized by the manufacturer or by other specialists, having due
regard to the information given in the operating instructions;
-
NOTE: Specialists are those who, as a result by professional training or experience, have sufficient expertise
in the field of fastener driving tools and sufficient familiarity with relevant govemmental industrial protection
provisions, accident prevention regulations, directives and generally recognized technical regulations(e.g.
CEN-and CENELEC-standards),to be able to assess the safe working condition of fastener driving tools.
2.2 Noise emission
The characteristic noise values for the fastener driving tool have been determined in accordance with EN12549:1999 and
EN ISO4871
”Acoustics-Noise test code for fastener driving tools-Engineering method”(see Technical Data).
These values are tool-related characteristic values and do not represent the noise development at the point of use. Noise
development at the point of use will for example depend on the working environment, the work piece, the work piece
support and the number of driving operations, etc.
2.3 Information on mechanical impact (vibration)
The characteristic vibration values for the fastener driving tool have been determined in accordance with ISO
8662-11:1999 and EN 12096
– Measurement of vibration in hand-held power tools – Part 11:Fastener driving tools(see
Technical Data).
This value is a tool-related characteristic value and does not represent the influence to the hand-arm-system when using
the tool. An influence to the hand-arm-system when using the tool will for example depend on the gripping force, the
contact pressure force, the working direction, the adjustment of energy supply, the workplace, the work piece support.
2.4 Safety of the fastener driving tool
-
Check prior to each operation that the safety and triggering mechanism is functioning properly and that all nuts and
bolts are right.
-
Do not carry out any alterations to the fastener driving tool without the manufactures authorization.
-
Do not disassemble or make inoperative any parts of the fastener driving tool such as the safety yoke.
-
Do not perform any” emergency repairs” without proper tools and equipment.
-
The fastener driving tool should be serviced properly and at regular intervals in accordance with the
Manufacturer’s instructions.
-
Avoid weakening or damaging the too, for example by:
punching or engraving;
modification not authorized by the manufacturer
guiding against templates made of hard material such as steel;
use the equipment as a hammer;
applying excessive force of any kind
2.5 Safety at work
Never point any operational fastener driving tool at yourself or at any other person or animals.
Hold the fastener driving tool during the work operation in such a way that no injuries can be
