(e.g. soft washer, clip or clamp etc.) is inserted in the nosepiece of the tool . This presents an increased risk of accident.
▶
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the fastening tool.
Do not use the fastening tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the fastening 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.
3
▶
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.
▶
Pull the trigger only when the fastening tool is pressed against the working surface in such a way that the fastener guide is pushed into the nose of the tool as far as it will go.
▶
Always wear gloves if you have to carry out maintenance work on the fastening 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 fastening 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 eye protection and a hard hat. Other persons in the vicinity must also wear eye protection and a hard hat.
▶
Wear your personal protective equipment and always wear protective glasses. 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 and ear protection reduces the risk of injury.

▶
Select the correct combination of fastener guide and fastener. The wrong combination may result in damage to the tool and in reduced fastening quality.
▶
Always observe the application guidelines → page 7.
Hazards presented by electricity
▶
Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are present.
▶
Hold the fastening tool only by the insulated grip when working in areas where fasteners may be driven inadvertently into concealed electric cables. Contact with a live electric cable may cause metal parts of the tool also to become live, leading to a risk of electric shock.
Instructions for handling the propellant gas
▶
Observe the instructions printed on the gas can and in the accompanying information.
▶
Escaping gas is harmful to the lungs, skin and eyes. Keep your face and eyes away from the gas can compartment for up to about 10 seconds after removing the gas can.
4
▶

It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration level represents the main applications of the direct fastening tool. However, if the direct fastening tool is used for different applications, with different items of equipment or accessories or is poorly maintained, the vibration level may vary. This may significantly increase the exposure to vibration over the total working period. An accurate estimation of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is not actually in use. This may significantly reduce the exposure to vibration over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintenance of the direct fastening tool and its additional equipment or accessories, keeping the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
