Nailer Safety Warnings - Flex FX4331 Operator's Manual

Always assume that the tool contains
•
fasteners. Careless handling of the nailer can
result in unexpected firing of fasteners and
personal injury.
Do not point the tool towards yourself or
•
anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will
discharge the fastener causing an injury.
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
target.
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.
Use caution while removing a jammed
•
fastener. The mechanism may be under
compression and the fastener may be
forcefully discharged while attempting to free a
jammed condition.
Do not use this nailer for fastening
•
electrical cables. It is not designed for
electric cable installation and may damage the
insulation of electric cables thereby causing
electric shock or fire hazards.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
•
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden
wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
WARNING
Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood
products can expose you to wood dust, a
substance known to the State of California to
cause cancer. Avoid inhaling wood dust or use
a dust mask or other safeguards for personal
protection. For more information go to

NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS

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, cement, and
–
other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
–
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending upon how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals:
Work in a well-ventilated area.
–
Work with approved safety equipment, such
–
as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
–
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or
to lie on the skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals.
