17. KEEP FACE, HANDS AND FEET AWAY
FROM FIRING HEAD AT ALL TIMES.
Never place your face, hands or feet near
the firing head.
18. PLACE STAPLER
WORKPIECE.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other
fasteners or with the Stapler at too steep
of an angle; the fasteners can ricochet
and hurt someone.
19. BE CAREFUL OF DOUBLE FIRE DUE TO
RECOIL.
If the push lever is unintentionally
allowed to re-contact the workpiece
following recoil, an unwanted fastener
will be driven.
In order to avoid this undesirable double
fire,
1)do not push the Stapler on the
workpiece with strong force;
2) take the Stapler completely away from
the workpiece using recoil, and keep
the push lever away from the
workpiece until the next desirable
shot; and
3) pull the trigger and release it QUICKLY
when performing
operation (trigger fire).
20. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS INTO THIN
BOARDS OR NEAR CORNERS AND
EDGES OF WORKPIECE.
The fasteners can be driven through or
away from the workpiece and hit
someone.
21. NEVER DRIVE FASTENERS FROM BOTH
SIDES OF A WALL AT THE SAME TIME.
The fasteners can be driven into and
through the wall and hit a person on the
opposite side.
22. CHECK FOR LIVE WIRES.
Avoid the risk of severe electrical shock
by checking for live electrical wires that
may be hidden by walls, floors or ceilings.
Turn off the breaker switch to ensure
there are no live wires.
