Work Area; Personal Safety - Hitachi N3804AB3(S) Instruction And Safety Manual

When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, Including the following:

1. Work area

(1) Keep the work area clean and well lighted.
Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks
of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
(2) Do not operate the Stapler in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.
The Stapler is able to create sparks resulting in the
ignition of the dust or fumes.
(3) Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating the Stapler. Distractions are able to result
in the loss of control of the Stapler.

2. Personal safety

(1) Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating the Stapler.
Do not use the Stapler while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the Stapler
increases the risk of injury to persons.
(2) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the
risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught
in moving parts.
(3) Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is
off before connecting to the air supply. Do not carry
the Stapler with your finger on the switch or connect
the Stapler to the air supply with the switch on.

the air source before making adjustments, doing
Stapler maintenance, clearing jams, touching the
Push Lever, when not in use, leaving work area,
loading, or unloading the Stapler, handing it to
another person. Never attempt to clear a jam or
repair the Stapler unless you have disconnected air
hose from the Stapler and removed all remaining
fasteners from the Stapler. The Stapler should never
be left unattended since people who are not familiar
with the Stapler might handle it and injure the
themselves.
Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of
injury to persons.

workpiece. Do not fasten on top of another fastener.
This is able to cause the fastener to be deflected
and hit someone, or cause the Stapler to react and
result in a risk of injury to persons.
3. Stapler use and care
(1) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against the body is
unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.
(2) Do not force the Stapler. Use the correct Stapler
for the application. The correct Stapler will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which the Stapler
is designed.
(3) Do not use the Stapler if the switch does not turn
the Stapler on or off. Any Stapler that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
Never use Stapler which is defective or operating
abnormally. If the Stapler appears to be operating
unusually, making strange noises, or otherwise
appears defective, stop using it immediately and
arrange for repairs by a Hitachi authorized service
center.
(4) Disconnect the Stapler from the air source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the Stapler. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the Stapler unintentionally.
