13. Do not overreach. Only use in a safe working
place. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
14. Keep bystanders away (when working in an
area where there is a likelihood of through
traffic of people). Clearly mark off your
operating area.
15. Never point the tool at yourself or others.
16. Do not rest your finger on the trigger when
picking up the tool, moving between operating
areas and positions or walking, as resting
finger on trigger can lead to inadvertent
operation. For tools with selective actuation,
always check the tool before use to ascertain
the correct mode is selected.
17. Only wear gloves that provide adequate feel
and safe control of triggers and any adjusting
devices.
18. When resting the tool, lay it down on the flat
surface. If you use the hook equipped with the
tool, hook the tool securely on the stable
surface.
19. Do not operate when under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or the like.
Projectile hazards
1. The fastener driving tool shall be disconnected
when unloading fasteners, making
adjustments, clearing jams or changing
accessories.
2. During operation be careful that fasteners
penetrate material correctly and cannot be
deflected/misfired towards operator and/or any
bystanders.
3. During operation, debris from workpiece and
fastening/collation system may be discharged.
4. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336 in
Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce the
use of appropriate safety protective
equipments by the tool operators and by other
persons in the immediate working area.
5. The risks to others shall be assessed by the
operator.
6. Be careful with tools without workpiece
contact as they can be fired unintentionally
and injure operator and/or bystander.
7. Ensure tool is always safely engaged on the
workpiece and cannot slip.
8. Wear hearing protection to protect your ears
against exhaust noise and head protection.
Also wear light but not loose clothing. Sleeves
should be buttoned or rolled up. No necktie
should be worn.
Operating hazards
1. Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract
normal or sudden movements such as recoil.
2. Maintain a balanced body position and secure
footing.
3. Appropriate safety glasses shall be used and
appropriate gloves and protective clothing are
recommended.
4. Appropriate hearing protection shall be worn.
5. Use the correct energy supply as directed in
the instruction manual.
6. Do not use the tool on moving platforms or
back of trucks. Sudden movement of the platform
may lose control of the tool and cause injury.
7. Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners.
8. Do not rush the job or force the tool. Handle
the tool carefully.
9. Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
when working in high locations, and secure the air
hose to prevent danger if there is sudden jerking
or catching.
10. On rooftops and other high locations, drive
fasteners as you move forward. It is easy to lose
your footing if you drive fasteners while inching
backward. When driving fasteners against
perpendicular surface, work from the top to the
bottom. You can perform driving operations with
less fatigue by doing so.
11. A fastener will be bent or the tool can become
jammed if you mistakenly drive fastener on top
of another fastener or strike a knot in the
wood. The fastener may be thrown and hit
someone, or the tool itself can react
dangerously. Place the fasteners with care.
12. Do not leave the loaded tool or the air
compressor under pressure for a long time out
in the sun. Be sure that dust, sand, chips and
