• If the tool has a silencer, always ensure it is in place and in  Only wear gloves that provide adequate feel and safe control of triggers and adjusting devises. 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, 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 tool 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 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 your finger on or under the trigger. The tool will eject a fastener if the workpiece contact is bumped.
• Tool’s resting position is on its side disconnected from the air.
• Resting position includes removing 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 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 workpiece & collation system may be discharged.
• Ensure 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 risk associated with selective actuation in “Tool Use” Section.
• Do not force tool. Let the tool do the work. Use the cor-rect tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not overeach
• 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 tool, care should be taken due to the possibility of tool recoil after a fastener is driven.
  If workpiece contact is unintentionally allowed to re-contact work surface following a recoil, an unwanted fastener will be driven. Therefore, allow tool to recoil completely off work surface after a fastener is driven to avoid this condition. Do not push workpiece contact on 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. Grip should be safe but appropriate to reduce vibration hazard which can cause serious injury.
