6. Protect your ears and head.
When engaged in nailing work please
wear ear muffl ers and head protection.
Also, depending on condition, ensure that
surrounding people also wear ear muffl ers
and head protection.
Unprotected exposure to high noise levels can cause
permanent, disabling, hearing loss and other problems
such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming
in the ears).
Risk assessment and implementation of appropriate
controls for these hazards are essential.
Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include
actions such as damping materials to prevent
workpieces from "ringing".
Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in
these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase
in noise levels.
7. Pay attention to those working close to you.
It would be very dangerous if nails that were not properly
driven in should hit other people. Therefore, always pay
attention to the safety of the people around you when
using this tool. Always make sure that nobody's body,
hands or feet are close to the nail outlet.
8. Never point the nail outlet towards people.
Always assume the tool contains fasteners.
If the nail outlet is pointed towards people, serious
accidents may be caused if you mistakenly discharge
the tool. When connecting and disconnecting the
hose, during nail loading or similar operations, be
sure the nail outlet is not pointed towards anyone
(including yourself). Even when no nails are loaded at
all, it is dangerous to discharge the tool while pointing
it at someone, so never attempt to do so. No horseplay.
Respect the tool as a working implement.
9. Before using the power tool, check the push lever.
You may rest the tool on a level surface as shown in
Fig.12.
Be sure not to apply the force downward onto the tool to
the extent that the push lever is engaged.
Before using the power tool make sure to check that the
push lever and valve operate properly. Without nails
loaded into the power tool, connect the hose and check
the following. If the sound of operation occurs this
indicates a fault, so in such a case do not use the power
tool until it has been inspected and repaired.
○ If merely pulling the trigger causes operating sound
of drive bit movement occur, the power tool is faulty.
○ If merely pushing the push lever against the material
to be nailed causes the sound of drive bit movement
to occur, the power tool is faulty. Furthermore, with
regard to the push lever, please note that it must
never be modifi ed or removed.
10. Use specifi ed nails only.
Never use nails other than those specifi ed and
described in these instructions.
11. Do not modify the fastener driving tool.
Modifi cations may reduce the eff ectiveness of safety
measures and increase the risks to the operator and/or
bystander.
12. Be careful when connecting the hose.
When connecting the hose and loading nails in order
not to fi re the tool by mistake, make sure of the following.
○ Do not touch the trigger.
○ Do not allow the fi ring head to contact with any
surface.
○ Keep the fi ring head down.
Strictly observe the above instructions, and always
make sure that no part of the body, hands or legs is
ever in front of the nail outlet.
13. Be careful when handling fasteners, especially
when loading and unloading, as the fasteners have
sharp points which could cause injury.
14. Do not carelessly place your fi nger on the trigger.
Do not place your fi nger on the trigger except when
actually nailing. If you carry this tool or hand it to
someone while having your fi nger on the trigger, you
may inadvertently discharge a nail and thus cause an
accident.
15. Completely Close the nail guide and do not open it
during operation.
If nailing is attempted when the nail guide is open, nails
will not be driven into the timber, and there is a risk of
dangerous discharge.
16. Press the nail outlet fi rmly against the material to
be nailed.
When driving in nails, press the nail outlet fi rmly against
the material to be nailed. If the outlet is not applied
properly, the nails may rebound.
17. Keep hands and feet away from the fi ring head
when using.
It is very dangerous for a nail to hit the hands or feet by
mistake.
18. During operation, debris from workpiece and
fastening/collation system may be discharged.
19. Beware of the tool's kickback
Do not approach the top of the tool with your head etc.
during operation. This is dangerous because the tool
may recoil violently if the nail currently being driven in
comes into contact with a previous nail or a knot in the
wood.
20. Take care when nailing thin boards or the corners
of wood.
When nailing thin boards, the nails may pass right
through, as may also be the case when nailing the
corners of wood due to deviation of the nails. In such
cases, always make sure that there is no one (and
nobody's hands or feet; etc.) behind the thin board or
next to the wood you are going to nail.
21. Simultaneous nailing on both sides of the same
wall is dangerous
Under no circumstances should nailing be performed
on both sides of a wall at the same time. This would be
very dangerous since the nails might pass through the
wall and thus cause injuries.
22. Do not use the power tool on scaff oldings, ladders.
The power tool shall not be used for specifi c application
for example:
– when changing one driving location to another
involves the use of scaff orldings, stairs, ladders or
ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,
– closing boxes or crates,
– fi tting transportation safety systems e.g. on vehicles
and wagons
23. Do not disconnect the hose with your fi nger on the
trigger.
If you disconnect the hose with your fi nger on the
trigger, the next time the hose is connected, there is a
danger that the power tool will fi re a nail spontaneously,
or operate incorrectly.
24. Disconnect the hose and take out any nails left in
the magazine after use.
Disconnect tool from air before doing tool maintenance,
cleaning a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving
tool to another location, or after use. It is very dangerous
for a nail to be fi red by mistake.
