ADDITIONAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT
EYE PROTECTION which provides protection against
flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should
always be worn by the tool operator and others in the
work area when loading, operating or servicing this tool.
Eye protection is required to guard against flying
fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye
injury. The employer and/or user must ensure that proper
eye protection is worn.
Eye protection in accordance with
89/686/EEC , and with equal or
greater grade than defined in EN166
should be used. However all aspects
of the operators work, environment
and other type/s of machinery being used should also be
considered when selecting any personal protection
equipment.
Note: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields
alone do not provide adequate protection.
CAUTION: ADDITIONAL SAFETY PROTECTION may be
required in some environments. For
example, the working area may
include exposure to noise levels that
can lead to hearing damage. The
employer and user should ensure
that any necessary hearing protection is provided and
used by the operator and others in the work area. Some
environments will require the use of head protection
equipment. When required, the employer and user must
ensure that head protection is used.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS – GAS TOOLS
Be careful of ignition
and explosions.
This tool must not be used in a
combustible environment or in the
presence of flammable liquids or
gases. This tool produces hot exhaust
gases that may ignite flammable
materials and produces sparks. Since
sparks may fly during nailing, it is dangerous to use
this tool near lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner,
gasoline, gas, adhesives and similar inflammable
substances, as they may ignite or explode.
Under no
circumstances should this tool be used in the
vicinity of such inflammable material.
Explosion and fire hazard.
The fuel cell is an aerosol dispenser
with flammable contents. It is a
pressured container and the
propellant will remain in the fuel cell.
Failure to follow instructions may
result in explosion or fire. Keep the
power tool, fuel cells and battery
away from sunshine and from temperatures
exceeding 50°C (120°F). The fuel cell and/or battery
may burst, releasing flammable gas. Do not pierce
or burn the container, even after use. Do not
incinerate, refill, reclaim or recycle the fuel cell. Do
not spray on to a naked flame or any incandescent
material.
