16. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS ON TOP OF
OTHER FASTENERS
Driving fasteners on the top of other fasten-
ers may cause deflection fasteners which
could cause injury.
17. REMOVING THE FASTENERS AFTER
COMPLETING OPERATION
If fasteners are left in the magazine after the
completion of operation, there is the danger
of a serious accident occurring prior to the
resumption of operation, should the tool be
handled carelessly, or when connecting the
air fitting. For this reason, always remove all
fasteners remaining in the magazine after
completion of the operation.
18. CHECK OPERATION OF THE CONTACT
TRIP MECHANISM FREQUENTLY IN
CASE OF USING A CONTACT TRIP TYPE
TOOL
Do not use the tool if the trip is not working
correctly as accidental driving of a fastener
may result. Do not interfere with the proper
operation of the contact trip mechanism.
19. WHEN USING THE TOOL OUTSIDE OR
ELEVATED PLACE
When fastening roofs or similar slanted sur-
face, start fastening at the lower part and
gradually work your way up. Fastening back-
ward is dangerous as you may lose your foot
place.
Secure the hose at a point close to the area
you are going to drive fasteners. Accidents
may be caused due to the hose being pulled
inadvertently or getting caught.
20. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF ANY PORTION
OF THE TOOL CONTROLS (e.g., TRIG-
GER, CONTACT ARM) IS INOPERABLE,
DISCONNECTED, ALTERED OR NOT
WOKING PROPERLY
21. NEVER ACTUATE THE TOOL INTO FREE
SPACE
This will avoid any hazard caused by free fly-
ing fasteners and excessive strain of the
tool.
22. ALWAYS ASSUME THAT THE TOOL
CONTAINS FASTENERS
23. RESPECT THE TOOL AS A WORKING IM-
PLEMENT
24. NO HORSEPLAY
25. NEVER LOAD THE TOOL WITH FASTEN-
ERS WHEN ANY ONE OF THE OPERAT-
ING CONTROLS (e.g., TRIGGER,
CONTACT ARM) IS ACTIVATED
26. WEAR THE GLOVES DEPENDING ON
THE WORKING CONDITION
27. WHEN DISPOSING THE MACHINE OR ITS
PARTS, FOLLOW THE RELEVANT NA-
TIONAL RULES
