Kyocera TJEP BC 60 Safety And Operation Instructions page 7

moving part of the airgun may result in personal
injury.
• Handle the tool with care, as it can get cold, affect-
ing grip and control.
• Never use tool in the presence of flammable dust,
gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that
could ignite gases causing a fire and cause the tool
to explode.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite to accidents.
• Do not use the tool if it is not in proper working
condition.
• Inspect the tool before operating to determine that it
is in proper working order. Check for misalignment,
binding of moving parts and any other condition
that may affect the operation. Do not operate if any
of the above mentioned conditions occur as it can
cause malfunction.
• When leaving the tool in resting position use the
belt/raftering hook (G) or place it standing upright
on the magazine or lying on the side. Do not leave it
resting with the nose piece (B) pointing towards the
operator or anyone nearby.
• Only technically skilled persons, who have read and
understood the operating/safety instructions should
operate the tool.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating
the tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
Careless handling of the tool can result in unexpect-
ed firing of fasteners and personal injury.
• Do not point the tool towards yourself or any-
one nearby whether it contains fasteners or not.
Unexpected actuation will discharge the fasteners
causing an injury.
• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your
application as it will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not actuate the tool unless it is placed firmly
against the workpiece. If it is not in contact with the
workpiece, the fastener may be deflected away from
your target.
• Do not drive the tool over materials that is too hard
or too soft. Hard material can ricochet fasteners and
hurt people, soft material may be penetrated easily
and cause the fasteners to fly freely.
• Do not drive fasteners into other fasteners.
• Use extra caution when driving fasteners into exist-
ing walls or other blind areas to prevent contact with
hidden objects or persons on other side (e.g., wires,
pipes, electrical cables.)
• After driving a fastener, the tool may spring back
("recoil") causing it to move away from the work
surface. To reduce risk of injury always manage
recoil by:
∙ always maintaining control of the tool and be
ready to counteract normal or sudden move-
ments such as recoil.
∙ allowing recoil to move the tool away from work
surface.
∙ not resisting recoil so that the tool will be forced
back into the work surface.
∙ keeping face and body parts away from the tool.
• When working close to an edge of a workpiece
or at steep angles use care to minimize chipping,
splitting, splintering, or free flight or ricochet of
fasteners, which may cause injury.
• Do not use this tool for fastening electrical cables.
It is not designed for electric cable installation
and may damage the insulation of electric cables
thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.
Furthermore the tool is not insulated from coming
into contact with electric power.
• Do not use the tool to perform other jobs than the
designated function. Especially do not use it as
a hammer. Impact on the tool will increase the
risk of damaged tool and accidental discharge of
fasteners.
• Do not use the tool if safety warning label(s) are
missing or damaged.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause tool
operating controls to become inoperable. Do not
operate the tool if any portion of the tool operating
controls is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not
working properly.
• The tool should not be modified unless authorized
in the manual or approved in writing by Kyocera
Unimerco Fastening. Fail to comply can lead to
dangerous situations or injurys.
• Keep hands and body away from fastener
discharge area (B) of the tool.
• Use only fasteners designated in the technical
specifications delievered together with this manual
• Be careful when handling fasteners, they may have
sharp edges and sharp points.
• Use only accessories made or recommended by
the tool manufacturer, or accessories that perform
equivalently to those recommended by Kyocera
Unimerco Fastening.
• Insert fasteners after connecting the compressor to
prevent unexpected fastener firing.
• Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The
mechanism may be under compression and the fas-
tener may be forcefully discharged while attempting
to free a jammed condition.
• Remove the compressed air when
∙ Not in use;
∙ Performing any maintenance or repairs;
∙ Clearing a jam;
∙ Elevating, lowering or otherwise moving the tool
to a new location;
∙ The tool is outside of the operator's supervision
or control
∙ Removing fasteners from the magazine.
• Compressed air can cause severe injury.
• Always shut off air supply, and disconnect the tool
from air supply when not in use.
• Never direct compressed air at yourself or anyone
else.
• Always use the correct tool air plug (H) for the hose
