▶ Call a doctor if the person is unconscious. Bring the person into a well-ventilated area and place the
person in the stable recovery position (i.e. lying on the side). If the person is not breathing, administer
artificial respiration and, if necessary, supply oxygen.
▶ After eye contact with gas, rinse the open eyes thoroughly under running water for several minutes.
▶ After skin contact with gas, wash the contact area carefully with soap and warm water. Subsequently
apply a skin cream.
General instructions concerning personal safety

at all times. This will allow you to control the setting tool better, even in unexpected situations.
▶ Keep other people away from the working area, especially children.

3.4 Fastener guide
The fastener guide holds the studs or, respectively, guides the nails and, when the tool is fired, thus directs the
fasteners into the supporting material at the desired position. Application-specific fastener guides (IF or ME)
are available for the GX 3 and GX 3-ME fastening tools (see type identification plate for exact designation).
3.5 Fasteners
Two types of fastener can be driven by the fastening tool: nails and threaded studs. Additional fastening
components, which can be inserted in the fastener guide, are also available for various applications.
3.6 Slider for fastener driving depth adjustment and for releasing the fastener guide
The slider can be used to reduce the depth to which the fastener is driven. In the EJECT position, it releases
the fastener guide for removal.
