FASTENER LOADING
When loading the tool: 1.) Never place a hand or any part of body in the fastener discharge area of
the tool; 2.) Never point the tool at anyone; 3.) Do not pull the trigger or depress the trip as accidental
actuation may occur, causing injury.
OPERATION
Always handle the tool with care: 1.) Never engage in horseplay; 2.) Only pull the trigger when the nose
is directed toward the work piece; 3.) Keep a safe distance from other while the tool while tool is in
operation as accidental actuation may occur, causing injury.
The operator must not hold the trigger or press on contact arm except during fastening operation as
serious injury can result if the trip accidentally contacts someone or something, causing the tool to
cycle.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool. A contact arm tool may bounce from the
recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven, possibly causing injury.
Check operation of the contact-arm mechanism frequently. Do not use the tool if the arm is not working
correctly as accidental driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper operation of the
contact-arm mechanism.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep angle as this may
cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work piece as the wood may split, allowing the fastener
to be deflected causing injury.
This tool has either a selective actuation for contact actuation or sequential contact actuation, or is
solely contact actuation, or solely contact actuation. Its intended uses are for production applications
such as pallets, furniture, manufactured housing, upholstery, and sheathing.
When using this tool in selective actuation mode, always ensure it is in the correct actuation setting.
Do not use this tool in contact actuation for applications such as closing boxes or crates and fitting
transportation safety systems on trailers and lorries.
Be careful when changing from one driving location to another.
