Work Area
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
•
Keep children and pets away
. All visitors should be kept a safe
distance from work area.
•
Avoid dangerous environments
. Do not use power tools in damp
or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Provide adequate space
surrounding the work area. Do not use in environments with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust; power tools will create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Secure work.
Use clamps or a vice to hold work. This frees both
hands to operate the power tool.
Personal Safety
•
Stay alert
. Always watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired or under
the influence of medication, alcohol or drugs.
•
Wear proper clothing
. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that
can catch in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended.
Contain long hair. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
•
Avoid accidental starting
. Make sure the switch is in the locked
or off position before plugging the machine into the power supply.
•
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
. Ensure that all keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the power tool before
turning it on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
•
Do not over reach or use on unstable surfaces
. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
•
Use safety equipment
. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hardhat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions. Wear CE approved safety goggles at all times. Normal
spectacles only have impact resistant lenses; they are NOT
safety glasses.
Electrical Safety
•
Disconnect power to the tool
. When not in use, before servicing
or when changing accessories such as nails, etc.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions
.
•
Power tool plugs must match the outlet
. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
•
Protect yourself from electric shock
.
When working with power
tools, avoid contact with any earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, hobs and refrigerators.

FASTENING TOOLS
FOR THE PROFESSIONAL
•
Do not abuse the cord
. Never carry the power tool by the power
cable or yank it from the socket. Keep the power cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords may create a fire or increase the risk of electric shock.
•
Working outdoors
. Only use an extension lead suitable for
outdoor use. Be sure your extension lead is properly wired, and in
good electrical condition.
Power Tool Use and Care
•
Do not force the power tool
. Use the correct power tool for your
application. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
•
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on or
off.
A power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the tool from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing the power tool
.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
•
Do not alter or misuse the power tool
. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
•
DO NOT fire if the nails are jammed
. This will cause damage to
the driver blade and could invite accidents.
•
Keep fingers off the trigger
until ready to drive nail.
•
DO NOT use on hard surfaces
such as rock, concrete, masonry,
bricks or steel. Personal injury or damage to the power tool
could result.
•
Secure work.
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
•
Stored power tools
. When not in use, all power tools should be
stored in a dry, locked cupboard and out of the reach of children
and other untrained persons.
•
Check for damaged parts
. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If damaged, immediately
discontinue use and ensure the power tool is repaired before use.
Poorly maintained power tools can result in accidents.
•
Maintain power tools with care
. Keep power tools sharp and
clean for the best and safest performance. All cables must be
checked at regular intervals and replaced if damaged.
•
Recommended accessories
. Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.
•
Keep the power tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil
and grease
. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong
solvents to clean your power tool. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the power
tool housing.
•
Beware of hidden danger
. Always make sure there is no danger
of hitting any hidden power cables, water or gas pipes.
•
Use clamps
or another practical way to secure and support the
work place to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Specific Safety Instructions
•
Use only the nails specified in the manual.
Use of accessories
that are not designed for this tool could result in personal injury
and/or damage to the power tool.
•
Do not touch any parts of the power tool magazine or nose
during operation.
Hold only by the handle or housing of the tool.
•
Do not activate the power tool unless it is in contact with the
work piece.
Serious injury can result if you depress the safety
lock pin on nose/contact trip with your fingers, or by
improper operation.
•
Fastening thin items.
Special caution must be taken for possible
penetration through thin items, as this could cause possible harm
to anyone or anything behind the work piece or immediate area.
•
Never use the tool as a hammer.
The sudden impact could shift
inner components of the power tool, resulting in a fastener
discharge and injury.
•
Always unload the magazine
when fastening has been
completed and disconnect from the power source.
•
Do not disassemble or block any parts of the fastener
driving tools.
•
Prior to each operation.
Check that the safety and triggering
mechanism is functioning properly and that all nuts and bolts
are tight.

While working, hold the tool in such a way that no injuries can be
caused to the head or to the body in the event of
possible recoil.
•
Never actuate the power tool into free space or the air.
Fasteners can penetrate thin work pieces or slip off corners and
edges of the work piece, potentially putting people at risk.
•
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners.
