If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
• CHECK SAFETY BEFORE USE. Make sure the safety
operates properly. Never use the tool unless the safety
is operating properly, otherwise the tool could drive a
fastener unexpectedly. Do not tamper with or remove the
safety, otherwise the safety becomes inoperable.

PROPERLY. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.
