2.1 Safety precautions
Working safely with the setting tool
▶
Pressing the nosepiece of the setting tool against a part of the body may lead to serious injury due to
inadvertent actuation and release of a fastener.
Never press the nosepiece of the tool against your
hand or any other part of the body.
▶
When inserting/loading application-specific fasteners (e.g. washers, clips or clamps, etc.) in/on the
fastener guide there is a risk of serious injury due to inadvertent actuation of the tool resulting in
discharge of a fastener.
When inserting/loading an application-specific type of fastener, never press
a hand or any other part of the body against the fastener guide.
▶
Never point the setting tool towards yourself or any other person.
▶
Keep your arms flexed when operating the tool (do not straighten the arms).
▶
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the setting tool. Do
not use the setting tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the setting tool may result in serious personal injury.
▶
When pulling back the nail pusher, always take care to ensure that it engages.
▶
When disengaging the nail pusher, do not release it and allow it to jump forward. Guide it forward
slowly.
There is a risk of pinching the fingers.
▶
Do not attempt to drive fasteners into
materials that are too hard
, such as welded steel or cast steel.
Attempting to drive fasteners into these materials may lead to malfunctions, incorrectly driven fasteners
or breakage of fasteners.
▶
Do not attempt to drive fasteners into
materials that are too soft
, such as wood or drywall/gypsum
board. Attempting to drive fasteners into these materials may lead to malfunctions and fasteners being
driven incorrectly or driven right through the material.
▶
Do not attempt to drive fasteners into
materials that are too brittle
, such as glass or tiles. Attempting
to drive fasteners into these materials may lead to malfunctions, fasteners being driven incorrectly and
may cause the material to shatter.
▶
Before driving fasteners, check that there is no risk of injuring persons or of damaging objects present
behind or below the working surface.
▶
Only activate the trigger when the setting tool is pressed against the base material in such a way that the
fastener guide is plunged into the setting tool as far as it will go.
▶
Always wear gloves if you have to carry out maintenance work on the setting tool while it is still
hot.
▶
If fasteners are driven at a high rate or if the tool used for a long period, surfaces of the tool beyond the
grip areas may get hot. Wear protective gloves to avoid burning injuries.
▶
If the setting tool overheats, remove the gas can and allow the tool to cool down. Do not exceed the
specified maximum fastener driving rate.
▶
Driving fasteners may cause flying fragments or result in parts of the nail strip material being forcibly
ejected from the tool. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
Wear a suitable
form of eye protection, ear protectors and a hard hat.
Depending on the application and type of tool
in use, wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip safety footwear, hard hat
or suitable eye protection and ear protection reduces the risk of injury. Other persons in the vicinity must
also wear eye protection and a hard hat.
▶
Wear suitable ear protection (see noise information in the technical data section). The fastener is driven
by the energy released on ignition of a gas-air mixture. The resulting noise exposure may cause damage
to the hearing. Other persons in the vicinity should also wear suitable ear protection.
