Nailer Tools; Additional Safety Warnings - Bosch PROFACTOR GNB18V-12 Operating Instructions Manual

Safety Warnings for Cordless Nailer Tools
a . Always assume that the tool contains fas-
teners . Careless handling of the tool can
result in unexpected firing of fasteners and
personal injury .
b . Do not point the tool towards yourself or
anyone nearby . Unexpected triggering will
discharge the fastener causing an injury .
c . Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is
placed firmly against the workpiece . If the
tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the
fastener may be deflected away from your
workpiece .
d . Disconnect the tool from the power source
when the fastener jams in the tool . While
removing a jammed fastener, the nailer may
be accidentally activated if it is plugged in .
Do not fire fasteners into walls or floors with-
out assuring the area on the opposite side is
clear . A fastener could travel through the work
surface, causing property damage or injury .
Do not drive fasteners into walls, floors, or
other work areas without knowing what may
be damaged by the driven fastener . Fasteners
driven into live electrical wires, plumbing, gas
piping, or other types of obstructions can result
in electrocution, explosion, personal injury and/
or property damage .
Hold the power tool by identified insulated grip-
ping surfaces when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden wiring .
Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
result in electric shock or electrocution .
Do not tamper with, remove, or cause nailer
operating controls to become inoperable .
Missing or improperly operating nailer controls
can cause unexpected actuation and personal
injury .
Never keep a finger on the trigger when not
driving fasteners or carrying the tool . Carry the
tool only by the handle . Keeping a finger on the
trigger when carrying the tool, or when not driv-
ing fasteners can result in unintentional trigger-
ing and personal injury .

Additional Safety Warnings

When loading fasteners ensure that the fasten-
er heads align with the nosepiece of the tool .
If fasteners are not aligned with the nosepiece,
tool may jam or misfire causing property dam-
age or injury .
Use only the fasteners meeting the criteria list-
ed in the "Specification" section of this manu-
al . Fasteners not identified for use with this tool
can cause the tool to malfunction and result in
the risk of injury and/or tool damage .
Keep hands and feet at least 8 inches (200mm)
away from the nosepiece of the tool during
use . Fasteners may deflect and cause property
damage or personal injury .
Do not drive a fastener on top of another fas-
tener . This could cause the fastener to be de-
flected or the tool to react in an unexpected
manner causing injury .
Do not engage in horseplay . The discharged fas-
teners are projectiles capable of causing serious
injury .
Never actuate the nailer unless it is perpen-
dicular to the workpiece surface and the work-
piece surface is free of debris . The fastener
may be deflected if the nailer is not in proper
contact with the workpiece resulting in property
damage or personal injury .
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
tener . The mechanism may be under com-
pression and the fastener may be force-
fully discharged while attempting to free a
jammed condition .
sure the cables are not energized . Hold the
tacker only by insulated gripping surfaces .
Use only fasteners designed for electrical
cable installations . Inspect that the fasten-
er has not damaged the insulation of the
electrical cables . A fastener that damages
the insulation of electric cables can lead to
electric shock and fire hazards .
