DO NOT
engage in horseplay

ONLY
pull the trigger when the tool is directed at the intended work piece and fastener firing is intended,
as injuries can occur if the tool touches something other than the target work piece and can be activated
by mistake.
• Ensure others are at a safe distance from the tool while tool in operation accidental actuations can occur, which
could cause possible injury.
• Due to recoil of driving fasteners tools with safety trips can bounce and unwanted fasteners can be driven so it
is important to keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool.

may result.
• Do not modify or interfere with the correct operation of the safety trip mechanism.

fastener and wooden splinters, potentially causing injury.
