without taking proper safety precautions.
ENSURE THAT NO PART OF ANY HUMAN, ANIMAL
OR CLOTHING IS PLACED IN/NEAR THE AREA WHERE NAILS ARE FIRED OUT OF THE GUN,

extremely important that you read and fully understand the information in this section and all other
safety warnings / recommendations and usage instructions before using the equipment

Always hold the tool firmly during operation, while allowing it to recoil away from the work surface as the
fastener is driven. If the firing tip is allowed to contact the work surface again before the trigger is

Do NOT drive fasteners on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at a steep angle – the fastener may
ricochet and cause injury.
