SAFETY WARNINGS
SAFETY OF THE STAPLE/NAIL GUN
1. Check prior to use that the safety and triggering mechanism is functioning
properly and that all nuts and bolts are tight.
2. Do not carry out any modifications to the staple/nail gun.
3. Do not disassemble or make inoperative any parts of the staple/nail gun
such as the safety yoke.
4. Do not perform any "emergency repairs".
5. The staple/nail gun should be serviced properly and at regular intervals in
accordance with the instructions.
6. Avoid weakening or damaging the staple/nail gun, for example by:
• punching or engraving;
• modification not authorised by the manufacturer;
• guiding against templates made of hard material such as steel;
• dropping or pushing across the floor;
• using the equipment as a hammer;
• applying excessive force of any kind.
SAFETY AT WORK
1. Never point any operational staple/nail gun at yourself, any other person
or animals.
2. Hold the staple/nail gun during the work operation in such a way that no
injuries can be caused to the head or to the body in the event of a possible
recoil.
3. Never actuate the staple/nail gun into free space. This will avoid any
hazard caused by free flying fasteners and excessive strain on the tool.
4. The staple/nail gun shall be disconnected from the compressed air system
during transportation, especially where an unusual physical posture is
adopted whilst moving.
5. Carry the staple/nail gun at the workplace using only the handle, and
never with the trigger actuated.
6. Take conditions at the workplace into account. Fasteners can penetrate
thin workpieces or slip off corners and edges of workpieces, and thus put
people at risk.
7. For personal safety, use protective equipment such as hearing and eye
protection and safety gloves.
