warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in serious injury, electric shock and/
or fire.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
For personal safety and proper operation and mainte-
nance of the tool, read this instruction manual before
using the tool.
General safety
• Do not permit those uninstructed to use the tool.
• No horseplay. Respect the tool as a working
implement.
• Do not operate when under the influence of alco-
hol, drugs or the like.
• Never alter the tool.
Director
Personal protective equipments
• Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes
from dust or fastener injury.
WARNING: It is an employer's responsibility
to enforce the use of safety eye protection equip-
ment by the tool operators and by other persons in
the immediate working area.
For Australia and New Zealand only
Always wear safety glasses and face shield to
protect your eyes from dust or fastener injury. The
safety glasses and the face shield should conform
with the requirements of AS/NZS 1336.
Safety glasses
Face shield
• Wear hearing protection to protect your ears
against exhaust noise and head protection. Also
wear light but not loose clothing. Sleeves should
be buttoned or rolled up. No necktie should be
worn.
Work area safety
• Never use the tool in enclosed or poorly ventilated
spaces. Otherwise carbon monoxide may cause
dizziness, nausea or unconsciousness.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Operating the tool can create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
ating the tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
• Illuminate the work area sufficiently.
• 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.
Safety devices
• Make sure all safety systems are in working order
before operation. The tool must not operate if only
the trigger is pulled or if only the contact arm is
pressed against the wood. It must work only when
both actions are performed. Test for possible faulty
operation with fasteners unloaded and the pusher
in fully pulled position.
• Do not play with the contact element: it prevents
accidental discharge, so it must be kept on and
not removed. Securing the trigger in the ON
position is also very dangerous. Never attempt
to fasten the trigger. Do not operate a tool if any
portion of the tool operating controls is inoperable,
disconnected, altered, or not working properly.
