2.1 Safety precautions
Working safely with the setting tool
▶ Pressing the nosepiece of the setting tool against a part of the body may lead to serious injury due to
inadvertent actuation and release of a fastener. Never press the nosepiece of the tool against your
hand or any other part of the body.
▶ When inserting/loading application-specific fasteners (e.g. washers, clips or clamps, etc.) in/on the
fastener guide there is a risk of serious injury due to inadvertent actuation of the tool resulting in
discharge of a fastener. When inserting/loading an application-specific type of fastener, never press
a hand or any other part of the body against the fastener guide.
▶ Never point the setting tool towards yourself or any other person.
▶ Keep your arms flexed when operating the tool (do not straighten the arms).
▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the setting tool. Do
not use the setting tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the setting tool may result in serious personal injury.
▶ When pulling back the nail pusher, always take care to ensure that it engages.
▶ When disengaging the nail pusher, do not release it and allow it to jump forward. Guide it forward
slowly. There is a risk of pinching the fingers.
