Safety instructions
These safety instructions apply for fastening tools with and without magazine.
General instructions concerning personal safety
▶
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when working. Do not use the tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.
▶
Wear your personal protective equipment and always wear protective glasses. Depending on the
application and type of tool in use, wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip
safety footwear, hard hat and ear protection reduces the risk of injury.
▶
Always wear gloves if cleaning or maintenance has to be carried out before the tool has been allowed to
cool down.
▶
Wear suitable ear protection (see noise information in the technical data section). Fasteners are driven
through ignition of a gas/air mixture. The resulting noise exposure may cause damage to the hearing.
Other persons in the vicinity should also wear suitable hearing protection.
▶
Adopt the correct posture when working. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. This will give
you better control of the product in unexpected situations.
▶
Use fastening tool, accessories, accessory tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take the
working conditions and the work to be performed into account. Use of equipment for applications other
than those intended can result in hazardous situations.
▶
Keep other people away from the working area, especially children.
Working safely with the fastening tool
▶
Pressing the nosepiece of the fastening tool against a part of the body may lead to serious injury due to
inadvertent actuation and release of a fastener.
Never press the nosepiece of the tool against your
hand or any other part of the body.
▶
When you are positioning a fastener ready for driving, take your finger off the trigger and do not apply
too much pressure to the fastener guide. When inserting/loading application-specific fasteners (e.g.
washers, clips or clamps, etc.) in/on the fastener guide there is a risk of serious injury due to inadvertent
actuation of the tool resulting in discharge of a fastener.
▶
Never point the fastening tool towards yourself or any other person.
▶
Keep your arms flexed when operating the tool (do not straighten the arms).
▶
Always keep the fastening tool firmly under control every time you drive a fastener and hold it vertical to
and steadily against the working surface. This will help to prevent the fastener being deflected by the
base material.
▶
When pulling back the nail pusher, always take care to ensure that it engages.
▶
Before you drive a fastener, check that when the tool is fired there is no risk to persons or objects in
front of, behind or below the working area.
It is not permissible for persons or parts of the body to be
behind the work surface into which a fastener is going to be driven.
▶
Do not attempt to drive fasteners into
materials that are too hard
, such as welded steel or cast steel.
Attempting to drive fasteners into these materials may lead to malfunctions, incorrectly driven fasteners
or breakage of fasteners.
▶
Do not attempt to drive fasteners into
materials that are too soft
, such as wood or drywall/gypsum
board without the adequate support of carrier material. Attempting to drive fasteners into these materials
may lead to malfunctions and fasteners being driven incorrectly or driven right through the material.
▶
Do not attempt to drive fasteners into
materials that are too brittle
, such as glass or tiles. Attempting
to drive fasteners into these materials may lead to malfunctions, fasteners being driven incorrectly and
may cause the material to shatter.
▶
Before driving fasteners, check that there is no risk of injuring persons or of damaging objects present
behind or below the working surface.
▶
Pull the trigger only when the fastening tool is at right angles to and pressed fully against the work
surface.
▶
If fasteners are driven at a high rate or if the tool used for a long period, surfaces of the tool beyond the
grip areas may get hot. Wear protective gloves to avoid burning injuries.
▶
If the fastening tool overheats, remove the gas can and allow the tool to cool down. Do not exceed the
specified maximum fastener driving rate.
▶
Driving fasteners can cause forcible ejection of fragments, for example from the material, fasteners or
magazine strip. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
Wear eye protection,
ear protection and a hard hat.
Depending on the application and type of fastening tool in use, wearing
