Safety instructions for tackers
•
Always assume that the power tool contains fasteners
(wire nails or staples).
Careless handling of the tacker
can result in an unexpected ejection of wire nails or
staples and lead to personal injury.
•
Do not point the power tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby.
Unexpected triggering will eject a wire nail or
staple which might cause an injury.
•
Do not actuate the power tool until it is placed firmly
against the workpiece.
If the power tool is not in contact
with the workpiece, the staple or wire nail might ricochet.
•
Disconnect the power tool from the mains connection
or battery when a wire nail or staple is jammed inside.
If not de-energized, the tacker could be actuated by
accident while removing a jammed staple or wire nail.
•
Exercise particular caution when removing a jammed
wire nail or staple.
The mechanism may be under tension
and the staple or wire nail could be forcefully ejected while
you attempt to eliminate the jam.
•
Do not use this tacker for fastening electrical lines.
It is
not suitable for the installation of electrical lines, it could
damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing
electric shock and fire hazards.
•
Use appropriate detection equipment to track down
concealed supply lines or consult the local utility
companies.
Contact with electrical lines may result in fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line may lead to an
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage and may cause an electric shock.
•
Do not under any circumstances use the power tool if
you detect damages on the mains plug or power cable.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, his service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Defective power cables pose a serious health risk!
•
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the
workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
