Do not actuate tool unless tool is placed firmly against the work surface.
Respect tool as a working implement.
Do not engage in horseplay.
Stay alert, focus on your work and use common sense when working with tools.
Do not use tool while tired, after having consumed drugs or alcohol, or while under the influence of
medication.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Do not hold or carry tool with a finger on the trigger.
Drive fasteners into proper work surface only.
Do not drive fasteners into other fasteners.
After driving a fastener, tool may spring back ("recoil") causing 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
•
not resisting recoil such that tool will be forced back into the work surface. In standard "Contact
•
Actuation Mode," if workpiece contact is allowed to re-contact work surface before the trigger is
released, an unintended discharge of a fastener will occur
keeping face and body parts away from tool
•
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.
Keep hands and body away from fastener discharge area of tool.
Do not load tool with fasteners when any one of the operating controls is activated.
Do not operate tool with any power source other than specified in tool operating/safety instructions.
Do not operate tool with any operating pressure other than that specified in tool operating/safety
instructions.
Use extra caution when driving fasteners into existing walls or other blind areas to prevent contact
with hidden objects or persons on other side (e.g., wires, pipes.)
Do not lift, pull or lower tool by the hose.
