5.3 Misuse of the tool
●
Tampering with or modification of the tool is not per-
missible.
●
Use of the tool in an explosive or inflammable atmos-
phere is not permissible unless it has been approved

Never point the tool at yourself or at any bystander.
●
Never press the nosepiece of the tool against your
hand or other part of your body (or other person's
hand or parts of their body).
●
Driving fasteners into materials other than steel is not
permissible. Do not attempt to drive fasteners into
other materials or into hardened or brittle steel, cast
iron or spring steel.
●
Pull the trigger only when the nosepiece of the tool is
in contact with the work surface.

other than as directed.
5.5 Take the necessary precautions at the workplace
●
Ensure that the working area is well lit.
●
Operate the tool only in well-ventilated working areas.
●
The tool is for hand-held use only.
●
Keep other persons away from the working area, espe-
cially children.
●
Before driving fasteners, check that no one is present
immediately behind or below the work surface.
●
Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause
injury should be removed from the working area.
Untidiness at the workplace can lead to accidents.
●
Keep the grips of the tool clean, dry and free form oil
and grease.
5.6 General safety precautions
●
Use the right tool for the job. Do not use the tool for
purposes for which it was not intended. Use the tool

could be driven inadvertently into a part of the body.
●
When not in use, the tool must be unloaded and stored
in a dry place where it is locked up or out of reach of
children.
●
Check that moving parts function correctly without
sticking and that no parts are damaged. All parts must
be fitted correctly and fulfill all conditions necessary
for correct operation of the tool.
