General Safety Rules - Celo Force One+20 Betriebsanleitung

AVOID EXPLOSION HAZARD
1 Only use approved power source. Never use reactive high
pressure or combustible gases (e.g., oxygen, carbon diox-
ide, acetylene, flammable gases etc.) as a power source.
2 Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or combustible
dust.

General safety rules

1 Keep fingers away from trigger when not operating this tool
and when moving from one operating position to another.
2 Keep all body parts such as hands and legs etc. away from
firing direction and ensure fastener cannot penetrate work-
piece into parts of the body.
3 Read and understand the safety instructions before con-
necting, disconnecting, loading, operating, maintaining,
changing accessories on, or working near the tool. Failure
to do so can result in serious bodily injury.
4 Place the nail discharge outlet of the tool on the work sur-
face properly when operating. Failure to place the dis-
charge outlet in a proper manner can result in fasteners
shooting away from the work surface and is extremely dan-
gerous.
5 Hold the tool with a firm grasp and be prepared to manage
recoil.
6 Only technically skilled operators should use tool.
7 Do not modify tool. Modifications may reduce the effective-
ness of safety measures and increase the risks to the oper-
ator and/or bystander.
8 When operating a tool intended to be used on hard surfaces
such as steel and concrete, put additional down force re-
quired to operate the tool and prevent slipping.
9 Do not use a tool if the tool has been damaged or is not in
proper working order. Tag and physically segregate tool to
prevent use.
0 Be careful when handling fasteners, especially when load-
ing and unloading, as the fasteners have sharp points which
could cause injury.
a Always check the tool before use for broken, misconnected
or worn parts.
b Do not overreach. Only use in a safe working place. Keep
proper footing and balance at all times.
c Keep bystanders and children away (when working in an
area where there is a likelihood of through traffic of people).
Clearly mark off your operating area.
d Never point the tool at yourself or others. Serious accidents
may be caused when misfiring. Be sure the discharge outlet
is not pointed toward people when connecting and discon-
necting the hose, loading and unloading the fasteners or
similar operations.
e 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.
f Only wear gloves that provide adequate feel and safe con-
trol of triggers and any adjusting devices.
g When not in use, disconnect tool from power supply, re-
move fasteners and lay it on its side in a safe location.
h Always refer to tool maintenance instructions for detailed in-
formation on proper maintenance of the tool. Only qualified
personnel shall repair the tool using parts supplied or rec-
ommended by Celo or parts that perform equivalently.
i Before operating, inspect tool to confirm
• use of proper power source - see Celo Operating In-
structions Manual
• that tool is in proper working order
• what actuation system is on tool and how it operates
• no misalignment or binding of moving parts
• all conditions necessary for proper and safe tool operation
• all screws and bolts are tight and properly installed prior
to operating the tool. Loose or improperly installed
screws or bolts cause accidents and tool damage when
the tool is put into operation.
• check the operation of the contact nose frequently. Do
not use the tool not working correctly as accidental driv-
ing of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the
proper operation of the contact nose.
j Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause tool oper-
ating controls to become inoperable (e.g., trigger, contact
nose)
k Do not operate tool if any portion that related to the tool op-
erating controls (e.g., trigger, contact nose) is inoperable,
disconnected, altered or not working properly.
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Do not ac-
l
tuate tool unless tool is placed firmly against the workpiece.
m Respect the tool as a working implement.
n Do not engage in horseplay.
o Stay alert, focus on your work and use common sense
when working with tools.
p Do not use tool while tired, after having consumed drugs or
alcohol, or while under the influence of medication.
q Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners. It may
cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
After driving a fastener, tool may spring back ("recoil") caus-
r
ing it to move away from the work surface. To reduce risk of
injury always manage recoil by:
• always maintaining control of tool.
• allowing recoil to move tool away from work surface.
• keeping face and body parts away from tool.
s When working close to an edge of a work surface or at
steep angles use care to minimize chipping, splitting or
splintering, or free flight or ricochet of fasteners, which may
cause injury.
t Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of the op-
erating controls (e.g., trigger, contact nose) is activated.
u When fastening roofs or similar slanted surface, start fas-
tening at the lower part and gradually work your way up.
Fastening backward is dangerous as you may lose your foot
place.
Never actuate the tool into free space. This will avoid any
hazard caused by free flying fasteners and excessive strain
of the tool.
v Do not use the tool as a hammer.
w The tool must be used only for the purpose it was designed.
x Keep the tool in a dry place out of reach of children when
not in use.
Foreseeable hazards and warnings in the general use of the tool
are described below. Assess the specific risks that may be pre-
sented as a result of each use.
Projectile hazards
1 The tool shall be disconnected from the power source
when:
• Not in use;
• Performing any maintenance or repairs;
• Clearing a jam;
• Elevating, lowering or otherwise moving the tool to a
new location;
• Tool is outside of the operator' s supervision or control;
• Making adjustments;
• Removing fasteners from the magazine; or
• Changing / replacing accessories.
2 During operation be careful that fasteners penetrate mate-
rial correctly and cannot be deflected /misfired towards op-
erator and /or any bystanders.
3 During operation, debris from workpiece and fastening/col-
lation system may be discharged. Take cautions of these
debris.
4 Always wear impact-resistant eye protection with side
shields during operation of the tool.
