7. Operation

CAUTION

The nail or stud is driven by a car-
tridge being fired.

Excessive noise may damage the
hearing.

Wear ear protection (users and
bystanders).

WARNING

The tool could be made ready to
fire if pressed against a part of
the body (e.g. hand)..

This could cause a nail to be dri-
ven into a part of the body.

Never press the muzzle of the tool
against parts of the body.

WARNING

Under certain circumstances, the
tool could be made ready to fire
by pulling back the fastener guide
or the fastener by hand.

When in the “ready to fire” state,
a fastener could be driven into a
part of the body.

Never pull back the fastener guide
or fastener by hand.

CAUTION

The base material may splinter
when a fastener is driven or frag-
ments of the cartridge strip may
fly off.

Flying fragments may injure parts
of the body or the eyes.

Wear safety goggles and a hard
hat (users and bystanders).
