GENERAL DESCRIPTION

• Hand-held power fastener driving tool consisting of a pneumatic power unit, guide body and magazine in which energy is applied in a linear movement to a loaded fastener for the purpose of driving the fastener into defined materials unless using a specialized fastener intended for use in concrete or steel.
• Any other use is forbidden.

WARNINGS
Tools with symbols shall only be used for production applications. Any other use is forbidden.

• Do not rest your finger on the trigger when picking up the tool, moving between operating areas and positions or walking, as resting
  your finger on the trigger can lead to inadvertent operation. For tools with selective actuation, always check the tool before use to ascertain the correct mode is selected.
• This tool has either selective actuation for contact actuation or continuous contact actuation by actuation mode selectors or is a contact actuation or continuous actuation contact tool and has been marked with the symbol above.
• Its intended uses are for production applications such as pallets, furniture, manufactured housing, upholstery and sheathing.
• If using this tool in selective actuation mode, always ensure it is in the correct actuation setting.
• Do not use this tool in contact actuation for applications such as closing boxes or crates and fitting transportation safety systems on trailers and lorries.
• Be careful when changing from one driving location to another.

SAFETY WARNINGS

• Read and understand these warnings to prevent injuries to yourself and bystanders. Refer to tool use, maintenance, and troubleshooting sections for additional information.
• Failure to follow warnings could result in serious injury.
• Do not discard.
• Operators and others in the work area shall wear impact-resistant eye protection with side shields. Failure to do so can cause serious injury. CE equivalent to EN166
• Always wear other personal protective equipment such as hearing, gloves, and a hard hat.
• Only wear gloves that provide an adequate feel and safe control of triggers and adjusting devices.
• Operators and others in the work area shall wear hearing 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).
• Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions such as damping materials to prevent workpieces from “ringing”.
• Use appropriate hearing protection.
• Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in noise levels.
•  If the tool has a silencer, always ensure it is in place and in good working order when the tool is being operated.
• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms.
• Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions, and keep your hands warm and dry.
• If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in your fingers or hands, seek medical advice from a qualified occupational health professional regarding overall activities.
• Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels.
• Hold the tool with a light, but safe, grip because the risk from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is higher.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tools while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Only use the correct energy supply as directed
  
• Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool; the tool will explode and cause serious injury.
• Using oxygen or combustible gases for pneumatic tools creates a fire or explosion hazard.”
  
• Always remove your finger from the trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with a finger on or under the trigger. The tool will eject a fastener if the workpiece contact is bumped.
• The tool’s resting position is on its side disconnected from the air.
• The resting position includes removing the finger from the trigger and positioning tool so that the workpiece contact is not actuated.
• Always assume the tool contains fasteners. Keep the tool pointed away from yourself and others. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a working implement.
  
• Keep hands and legs away from the firing direction.
• Only skilled operators should use fastener driving tools.
• Drive fasteners into work surface only; never into materials too hard to penetrate.
• Addition downforce is required for steel and concrete tools.
• During operation, debris from the workpiece & collation system may be discharged.
• Ensure the tool is always safely engaged on the workpiece and cannot slip.
• Tools equipped with “Contact Actuation” shall not be used:
  ‡ If a change of driving locations is effected via stairs, ladders or scaffolding.
  ‡ For closing boxes or crates.
  ‡ For fitting transportation safety systems. ”
  ‡ Moving platforms
• Read and understand the risk associated with selective actuation in the “Tool Use” Section.
• Do not force tool. Let the tool do the work. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not overreach
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep of an angle.
  
• The fastener could deflect and cause injury.
• When using the tool, care should be taken due to the possibility of tool recoil after a fastener is riven. If workpiece contact is unintentionally allowed to re-contact work surface following a recoil, an unwanted fastener will be driven. Therefore, allow the tool to recoil completely off the work surface after a fastener is driven to avoid this condition. Do not push workpiece contact on a work surface until a second fastener is desired.
• Hold the tool correctly with a firm grasp and be prepared to counteract and manage normal or sudden movements such as recoil. The grip should be safe but appropriate to reduce vibration hazards which can cause serious injury.
• Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
• Be careful when using pneumatic tools as the tool becomes cold. This can affect grip and control.
• Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work surface.
• The fastener could deflect and cause injury.
• Keep bystanders away.
• Clearly mark off your operting area.
• Disconnect tool from air before doing tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, making adjustments, leaving the work area, moving tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person.
• The tool may eject a fastener when connected to the air supply; therefore, ① remove all fasteners from the tool before attaching the air hose.
• Be careful when handling fasteners when loading/unloading. Fasteners have sharp points.
• Never use the tool if workpiece contact, trigger or springs have become inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not tamper with or remove workpiece contact, trigger, or springs.
• Modifications may reduce the effectiveness of safety measures and increase the risk to operator/bystanders.
• Do not use the tool if the tool has been damaged.
