21. Remove finger from trigger when not
driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger
on trigger. In “Contact Actuation Mode” tool
will fire a fastener if safety is bumped while
trigger is depressed. Fig. 14.
22. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when using or
handling the tool.
23. Fire fasteners into work surface only:
never into materials too hard to penetrate.
Fig. 15.
24. Grip tool firmly to maintain control
while allowing tool to recoil away from
work surface as fastener is driven. In
“Contact Actuation Mode” if safety element
is allowed to recontact work surface before
trigger is released an unwanted fastener will
be fired.
25. Do not drive fasteners on top of other
fasteners, or with the tool at too steep an
angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing
personal injury. Fig. 15.
26. Do not drive fasteners close to the
edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is
likely to split allowing the fastener to fly free
or ricochet causing personal injury. Fig. 16.
27. FOR CONTACT ACTUATION TOOLS
ONLY, Do not use on scaffoldings or
ladders or for tasks in which changing
location involves the use of scaffoldings,
stairs, ladders, and the like. Do not use for
specific tasks such as closing boxes or
crates or fitting transportation safety
systems on vehicles and wagons. Fig. 17.
