WARNING
The material may splinter or fragments of the magazine
strip may fly off when the fastener is driven. The user of
the tool and other persons in the immediate vicinity
must wear protective glasses and a hard hat. Splin-

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
WARNING
Never make the tool ready to fire by pressing it against a
part of the body (e.g. the hand). This could cause a nail
