•
Wear hearing protection to protect your ears
against exhaust noise and head protection. Also
wear light but not loose clothing. Sleeves should be
buttoned or rolled up. No necktie should be worn.
Work area safety
•
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Operating the tool can create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating the tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
•
Illuminate the work area sufficiently.
•
There may be local regulations concerning noise
which must be complied with by keeping noise
levels within prescribed limits. In certain cases,
shutters should be used to contain noise.
Safety devices
•
Make sure all safety systems are in working order
before operation. The tool must not operate if only
the trigger is pulled or if only the contact arm is
pressed against the wood. It must work only when
both actions are performed. Test for possible faulty
operation with fasteners unloaded and the pusher
in fully pulled position.
•
Do not play with the contact element: it prevents
accidental discharge, so it must be kept on and
not removed. Securing the trigger in the ON
position is also very dangerous. Never attempt to
fasten the trigger. Do not operate a tool if any
