Operating and Safety Instructions
for the Fine Fabric™ System 500™ (SKU# 16010-0)
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
Read and understand all instructions before using this hand tool. Follow all warnings on product and instructions.
Save these instructions where tool is stored.
Needle sticks can transmit life-threatening diseases if tools are shared
Use only your own tool and needles.
Use of a protective tagging glove is recommended.
Immediately discard any needle that sticks you or contacts your skin (see instructions).
To discard a contaminated needle, immediately:
1. Use an adhesive bandage or protective, sterile material to remove contaminated needle, to avoid
contaminating the needle guard.
2. Dispose of needle and bandage in an approved Biohazard-Sharps container.*
To reduce the chance of needle sticks:
1. Use a protective tagging glove while tagging. **
2. Put needle guard on needle when not in use, and when installing or removing uncontaminated needles.
Following these warnings is important because:
1. Invisible traces of infected blood can remain on the needle for days after a needle stick.
2. Someone else could use your hand tool by mistake.
3. A contaminated needle could affect the next person who gets stuck, transmitting HIV, Hepatitis or other blood
borne diseases.
* For details, see OSHA 3127 and 29 CFR 1910, 1030
** Call for supplier information on protective tagging gloves
IMPORTANT NOTES:
It is recommended that the user test the tagging system on each application prior to extended use as different
materials require different tagging fasteners and needles.
The Fine Fabric System 500 tool should be used only for the fastening purposes for which it is intended. When not in
use the tool should be stored with the needle guard attached and where only operators and their supervisors have
access to them.
The lanyard should be used at all times. Should the tool be accidentally dropped, the lanyard can prevent tool damage
and assist in keeping the needle and tool away from any part of the body.
