Make sure the lock lever operates properly, and is
not inoperable, disconnected, or altered. (The lock
lever may be called "Safety".) Never use the Nailer
unless the lock lever is operating properly, otherwise
the Nailer could drive a fastener unexpectedly. Do not
tamper with or remove the lock lever, or otherwise
cause the lock lever to become inoperable.
With no nails loaded in the Nailer, connect the air
hose and check the following.
○ There is no operating noise from the piston inside
the Nailer when the trigger is pulled without fi rst
pulling the lock lever.
Using the Nailer when it is not operating normally
may lead to injury. If any abnormality occurs, contact
the dealer where the Nailer was purchased or your
nearest metabo HPT authorized service center and
arrange for repairs.
(4) Keep all screws and covers tightly in place. Keep
all screws and covers tightly mounted.
Check their condition periodically. Never use the
Nailer if parts are missing or damaged.
(5) Do not load fasteners with trigger or lock lever
pulled. When loading fasteners into the Nailer or
when connecting the air hose,
1) do not pull the trigger;
2) do not pull the lock lever; and
3) keep the Nailer pointed downward.
(6) Keep hands and body away from fi ring head
during use. Never place your hands or feet closer
than 8 inches (200 mm) from the fi ring head. A
serious injury can result if the fasteners are defl ected
by the workpiece, or are driven away from the point of
entry.
(7) When working close to an edge of a workpiece
or at steep angles, or driving fasteners into
thin workpiece use care to minimize chipping,
splitting or splintering, or free fl ight, ricochet or
piercing of fasteners, which may cause injury.
(8) Never drive fasteners from both sides of a wall
at the same time. The fasteners can be driven into
and through the wall and hit a person on the opposite
side.
(9) Use extra caution when driving the Nailer into
existing walls or other blind areas to prevent
contact with hidden objects or persons on other
side (eg., wires, pipes).
