Additional Safety Information - Craftsman CMCN623 Instruction Manual

English
Keep hands and body parts away from the discharge
•
area of the tool. While in use NEVER grasp the tool by the
magazine or canister, a mis‑driven nail can exit the nose
causing injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
•
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator.
Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation
•
material, or dust which could harm operator's eyes.
Operator and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses
with side shields. These safety glasses must conform to ANSI
Z87.1 requirements (approved glasses have "Z87" printed
or stamped on them. It is the employer's responsibility to
enforce the use of eye protection equipment by the tool
operator and other people in the work area.
Always wear appropriate personal hearing and other
•
protection during use. Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
Disconnect battery pack from the tool when not in
•
use. Always remove battery pack and remove fasteners
from magazine before leaving the area or passing the tool
to another operator. Do not carry tool to another work area
in which changing location involves the use of scaffoldings,
stairs, ladders, and the like, with battery pack connected.
Do not make adjustments, perform maintenance or clear
jammed fasteners while battery is in place.
Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the
•
tool or trigger to become inoperable. Do not tape or tie
trigger in the on position. Make daily inspections for free
movement of trigger. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if
•
any portion of the tool or trigger is inoperable,
disconnected, altered, or not working properly.
Damaged parts or missing parts should be repaired or
replaced before use. Refer to Repairs.
Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
•
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
•
Do not point the tool at co‑workers or yourself at
•
any time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a
working implement.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
•
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in a
safe place, with the battery removed, and out of the reach
of children.
Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance
•
at all times. Loss of balance may cause personal injury.
Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not
•
discharge fasteners into open air, concrete, stone,
extremely hard woods, knots or any material
too hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do not
use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer.
Discharged fastener may follow unexpected path and
cause injury.)

Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for
•
detailed information on the proper maintenance of
the tool.
Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be
•
sure the work surface is clear of any debris and be careful
not to lose footing when working in elevated environments
such as rooftops.
Do not drive fastener near edge of material. The
•
workpiece may split causing the nail to ricochet, injuring
you or a co‑worker. Be aware that the fastener may follow
the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude
unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the
chisel point of the fastener perpendicular to the grain to
reduce risk of injury.
Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners
•
or with the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury
from strong recoil jammed nails, or ricocheted nails
may result.
Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate
•
work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary
to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure
the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the
nailer against the material. Unsecured work may shift
unexpectedly.
Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust,
•
gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could
ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail
may also cause a spark.
Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool
•
cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil
can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing
into hard or dense material.
Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing
•
tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener
is driven. In Bump mode if contact trip is allowed to
recontact work surface before trigger is released an
unwanted fastener will be fired.
Choice of triggering method is important. Check the
•
manual for triggering options.

Additional Safety Information


WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead‑based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
