DANGER
•
Operators and others in work area
MUST wear safety glasses with side
shields which conforms to ANSI Z87.1
specifications.
WARNING
•
NEVER point tool at yourself or others
in work area.
•
Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when
not driving fasteners to avoid acciden-
tal operation.
•
Never place your face, hands or feet
closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from
discharge area when using. The Tool may bounce from the recoil
of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be
driven possibly causing injury.
•
Check operation of the safety mechanism frequently. Do not
use the Tool if the safety is not working correctly as acciden-
tal driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the
proper operation of the safety mechanism.
•
The safety trigger is a safety device and should only be pulled
when the Tool is in proper position on the work surface and
before the ram/actuator is struck with the mallet.
•
Do not tie or tape down the safety trigger as the Tool could
discharge if dropped on the plunger. The Tool will not operate
unless the trigger is pulled before striking the ram/actuator
with the mallet.
•
Do not use the safety as a disabling mechanism for the ram/
actuator in order to use the Tool to rack the wood. This will
severely damage the mechanism and the Tool. This abuse and
damage is not covered by the warranty. Use the mallet to rack
the flooring, not the Tool.
•
Do not strike the ram/actuator without pulling the safety trig-
ger! Hitting the Tool with the safety engaged will damage the
safety mechanism and the Tool.
•
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with Tool at
too steep of an angle; fasteners can ricochet and hurt someone.
