accidentally if the safety mechanism is not
working correctly.
Operating controls
1.
Do not use a tool with missing or damaged
safety warning label(s.)
2.
A tool that is not in proper working order must
not be used. Tags and physical segregation
shall be used for control.
3.
Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise
cause tool operating controls to become
inoperable.
4.
Do not operate tool if any portion of the tool
operating controls is inoperable, disconnected,
altered, or not working properly.
Tool handling
1.
Only persons who have read and understand
the tool operating/safety instructions should
operate the tool.
2.
Always assume that tool contains fasteners.
3.
Do not point tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.
4.
Keep bystanders and children away while
operating tool.
5.
Do not actuate tool unless tool is placed firmly
against the workpiece.
6.
Respect tool as a working implement.
7.
Do not engage in horseplay.
8.
Stay alert, focus on your work and use
common sense when working with tools.
9.
Do not use tool while tired, after having
consumed drugs or alcohol, or while under the
influence of medication.
10.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
11.
Do not hold or carry tool with a finger on the
trigger.
12.
Drive fasteners into proper work surface only.
13.
Do not drive fasteners into other fasteners.
14.
After driving a fastener, tool may spring back
("recoil") causing it to move away from the
work surface. To reduce risk of injury always
manage recoil by:
a)
always maintaining control of tool.
b)
allowing recoil to move tool away from
work surface.
c)
not resisting recoil such that tool will be
forced back into the work surface. In
"Contact Actuation Mode," if workpiece
contact is allowed to re-contact work
surface before the trigger is released, an
unintended discharge of a fastener will
occur.
d)
keeping face and body parts away from
tool.
15.
When working close to an edge of a workpiece
or at steep angles use care to minimize
chipping, splitting or splintering, or free flight
or ricochet of fasteners, which may cause
injury.
16.
Keep hands and body away from fastener
discharge area of tool.
17.
Do not load tool with fasteners when any one
of the operating controls is activated.
18.
Do not operate tool with any power source
other than that specified in tool operating/
safety instructions.
19.
Do not operate tool with any operating
pressure other than that specified in tool
operating/ safety instructions.
20.
Always select an actuation system that is
appropriate to the fastener application and the
training of the operator.
21.
Use extra caution when driving fasteners into
existing walls or other blind areas to prevent
contact with hidden objects or persons on
other side (e.g., wires, pipes.)
22.
Do not lift, pull or lower tool by the hose.
Disconnecting tool
Disconnect tool from the power source when:
1.
Not in use;
2.
Performing any maintenance or repairs;
3.
Clearing a jam;
4.
Elevating, lowering or otherwise moving the
tool to a new location;
Tool is outside of the operator's supervision or
5.
control; or
6.
Removing fasteners from the magazine.
Additional safety instructions
1.
The area should be sufficiently illuminated to
assure safe operations. The area should be
clear and litter-free.
2.
There may be local regulations concerning
noise which must be complied with by keeping
noise levels within prescribed limits. In certain
cases, shutters should be used to contain
noise.
3.
Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the
like carefully to avoid possible electrical
shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by
striking live wires, conduits or gas pipes.
4.
On rooftops and other high locations, drive
fasteners as you move forward. It is easy to
lose your footing if you drive fasteners while
inching backward. When driving against
perpendicular surface, drive fasteners from the
top to the bottom. You can perform the
operations with less fatigue by doing so.
5.
Do not leave the loaded tool or the air
compressor under pressure for a long time out
in the sun. Be sure that dust, sand, chips and
foreign matter will not enter the tool in the
place where you leave it setting.
6.
Perform cleaning and maintenance right after
finishing the job. Keep the tool in tip-top
condition. Lubricate moving parts to prevent
