Nailer Safety Warnings - DeWalt DCN660 Guide D'utilisation

Nailer Safety Warnings

• Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners. Careless handling of the nailer
can result in unexpected firing of fasteners
and personal injury.
• Do not point the tool towards yourself
or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering
will discharge a fastener causing an injury.
• Do not actuate the tool unless the tool
is placed firmly against the workpiece. If
the tool is not in contact with the workpiece,
the fastener may be deflected away from
your target.
• Disconnect the tool from the power
source when the fastener jams in the
tool. While removing a jammed fastener, the
tacker may be accidentally activated if it is
plugged in.
• Use caution while removing a jammed
fastener. The mechanism may be under
compression and the fastener may be
forcefully discharged while attempting to
free a jammed condition.
• Do not use this nailer for fastening
electrical cables. It is not designed for
electric cable installation and may damage
the insulation of electric cables thereby
causing electric shock or fire hazards.
Additional Nailer Safety
Warnings
WARNING: When using any nailer, all safety
precautions, as outlined below, should be
followed to avoid the risk of death or serious
injury. Read and understand all instructions
before operating the tool.
WARNING: NEVER spray or in any other
way apply lubricants or cleaning solvents inside
the tool. This can seriously affect the life and
performance of the tool.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
• Actuating tool may result in flying
debris, collation material, or dust which
could harm operator's eyes. Operator
and others in work area MUST wear safety
glasses with side shields. These safety
glasses must conform to ANSI Z87.1
requirements (approved glasses have
"Z87" printed or stamped on them. It is
the employer's responsibility to enforce the
use of eye protection equipment by the tool
operator and other people in the work area.

• Always wear appropriate personal
hearing and other protection during
use. Under some conditions and duration of
use, noise from this product may contribute
to hearing loss. (Fig. A)
FIG. B
• Disconnect battery pack from the
tool when not in use. Always remove
battery pack and remove fasteners
from magazine before leaving the area
or passing the tool to another operator.
Do not carry tool to another work area
in which changing location involves the
use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and
FIG. C
the like, with battery pack connected.
Do not make adjustments, perform
maintenance or clear jammed fasteners
while battery is in place.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise
cause the tool, trigger, trigger lock-off,
or contact trip to become inoperable.
Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip
in the ON position. Do not remove spring
FIG. D
from contact trip. Make daily inspections for
free movement of trigger and contact trip.
Uncontrolled discharge could result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate
a tool if any portion of the tool, trigger,
trigger lock-off, or contact trip is
inoperable, disconnected, altered, or
not working properly. Damaged parts or
missing parts should be repaired or replaced
FIG. E
before use. Refer to Repairs.
• Do not alter or modify the tool in any
way.
• Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners.
• Do not point the tool at co-workers
or yourself at any time. No horseplay!
Work safe! Respect the tool as a working
FIG. F implement. (Fig. B)
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
When tool is not in use, it should be locked
in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
• Do not carry the tool from place to place
holding the trigger. Accidental discharge
FIG. G
could result.
• Always use trigger lock-off when tool
is not in immediate use. Using the trigger
lock-off will prevent accidental discharge.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper
footing and balance at all times. Loss of
balance may cause personal injury. (Fig. C)

• Use the tool only for its intended
use. Do not discharge fasteners into
open air, concrete, stone, extremely
hard woods, knots or any material too
hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do
not use the body of the tool or top cap
as a hammer. Discharged fasteners may
follow unexpected path and cause injury.
(Figs. D, F)
• Always keep fingers clear of contact
trip to prevent injury from inadvertent
release of the pusher (Fig. H)
• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs
sections for detailed information on the
proper maintenance of the tool.
• Always operate the tool in a clean,
lighted area. Be sure the work surface
is clear of any debris and be careful not
to lose footing when working in elevated
environments such as rooftops.
• Do not drive fasteners near edge of
material. The workpiece may split causing
the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a
co-worker. Be aware that the nail may follow
the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to
protrude unexpectedly from the side of the
work material. Drive the chisel point of the
nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk
of injury. (Figs. E, F, M)
• Do not drive nails onto the heads
of other fasteners or with the tool
at too steep an angle. Personal injury
from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or
ricocheted nails may result. (Fig. G)
• Keep hands and body parts clear of
immediate work area. Hold workpiece
with clamps when necessary to keep hands
and body out of potential harm. Be sure
the workpiece is properly secured before
pressing the nailer against the material. The
contact trip may cause the work material to
shift unexpectedly. (Fig. H)
• Do not use tool in the presence of
flammable dust, gases or fumes. The
tool may produce a spark that could ignite
gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into
another nail may also cause a spark. (Fig. I)
• Keep face and body parts away from
back of the tool cap when working in
restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result
in impact to the body, especially when
nailing into hard or dense material. (Fig. J)
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while
allowing tool to recoil away from work
surface as fastener is driven. In Bump
