11. Make sure no one is nearby before operation.
Never attempt to drive fasteners from both the
inside and outside of wall at the same time.
Fasteners may rip through and/or fly off,
presenting a grave danger.
12. Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
when working in high locations.
13. Never use fastener driving tools marked with
the symbol "Do not use on scaffoldings,
ladders" for specific application for example:
− when changing one driving location to
another involves the use of scaffoldings,
stairs, ladders, or ladder alike constructions,
e.g. roof laths;
− closing boxes or crates;
− fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on
vehicles and wagons.
14. Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the like
carefully to avoid possible electrical shock, gas
leakage, explosions, etc. caused by stapling into
live wires, conduits or gas pipes.
15. Use only fasteners specified in this manual.
The use of any other fasteners may cause
malfunction of the tool.
16. Do not tamper with the tool or attempt to use
it for other than driving fasteners.
17. Do not operate the tool without fasteners. It
shortens the service life of the tool.
18. Stop driving operations immediately if you
notice something wrong or out of the ordinary
with the tool.
19. Never drive fastener into any materials which
may allow the fastener to puncture and fly
through as a projectile.
20. Never actuate the switch trigger and safety
lever at the same time until you are prepared
to fastener workpieces. Allow the workpiece
to depress the safety lever. Never defeat its
purpose by securing the safety lever back or
by depressing it by hand.
21. Never tamper with the safety lever. Check the
safety lever frequently for proper operations.
22. Always remove fasteners from the tool when
not in use.
