SPECIFIC WARNINGS & SAFETY RULES
TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners.
Careless handling of the
tacker can result in unexpected firing
of fasteners and personal injury.
Do not point the tool towards yourself
or anyone nearby.
Unexpected
triggering will discharge the fastener
causing an injury.
Do not actuate the tool unless the tool
is placed firmly against the work-
piece.
If the tool is not in contact with
the workpiece, the fastener may be
deflected away from your target.
Disconnect the tool from the power
source if the fastener jams in the tool.
While removing a jammed fastener,
the tacker may be accidentally
activated if it is plugged in.
Use caution while removing a
jammed fastener.
The mechanism may
be under compression and the fastener
may be forcefully discharged while
attempting to free a jammed condition.
Do not use this nailer for fastening
electrical cables
. It is not designed for
electric cable installation and may
damage the insulation of electric
cables, thereby causing electric shock
or fire hazards.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the nailing tool may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. Know your power tool.
Read operator’s manual carefully.
Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific
potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
3. Always wear safety glasses with side shields.
Everyday
glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety
glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury.
4. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation
is dusty.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
5. Protect your hearing.
Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
6. Do not attempt to alter the tool.
Any unauthorized alteration
and/or use of unauthorized replacement parts is misuse, which
could result in a hazardous condition causing possible serious
personal injury. Unauthorized parts and/or tool modification
automatically voids warranty.
7. Use only original Arrow
®
replacement parts.
8. The tool should always be supplied via a residual current
device with a rated residual current of 20 mA or less.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BRAD NAILERS
Secure the workpiece
(a workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
securely than by hand)
Never push in the nailer contact tip manually
(there is danger of injury when at the same
time the trigger is activated unintentionally)
Avoid damage that can be caused by screws,
nails and other elements in your workpiece;
remove them before you start working
Always check that the supply voltage is
the same as the voltage indicated on the
nameplate of the tacker
In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool
Arrow can assure flawless functioning of the
tool only when original accessories are used
This tool should not be used by people under
the age of 16 years
At 20 shots/min, the ET200BN™ brad nailer
should be allowed to cool down after 30
minutes as it is only rated for short-time duty.
