Safety of the fastener driving tool
– alterations not permitted by the
manufacturer,
– guiding on templates made of hard
material, e.g. steel,
– permitting to fall onto or slide across
the floor,
– using as a hammer,
– every type of external force.
Work safety
Never point a fastener driving tool that
is ready to use directly at yourself,
other persons or animals.
During work, hold the fastener driving
tool so that head and body can not be
injured by possible kickback due to a
fault in the power supply or from hard
places in the workpiece.
Never trigger the fastener driving tool
into empty space. Following this instruction
will prevent danger due to uncontrolled flying
fasteners and overloading the device.
Before transporting, disconnect the
fastener driving tool from the com-
pressed air network, particularly when
using ladders or are moving with an
unaccustomed body posture.
At the workplace, only carry the fas-
tener driving tool by its grip and never
with the trigger actuated.
Pay attention to workplace conditions.
Fasteners may strike completely through thin
workpieces or slide off corners or edges to
cause a danger to persons.
Use suitable personal protec-
tion equipment, e.g. hearing
and eye protection. Wearing personal
protective devices such as dust mask, non-slip
safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing protectors,
depending on the type of fastener driving tool
and its application, reduces the risk of injuries.

RISK OF INJURY! Never
exceed the maximum permissible operating
pressure of 8 bar. Use a pressure reducer to
adjust the operating pressure.
RISK OF INJURY! Never
use oxygen or other flammable gases as en-
ergy source.
Keep your working area clean and
well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas
can lead to accidents.
Keep children and other indi-
viduals away from the fas-
tener driving tool during use.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of
the device.
Remain alert at all times, watch what
you are doing and always proceed
with caution when working with a
fastener driving tool. Do not use any
fastener driving tool if you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. One moment of carelessness
when using the fastener driving tool may result
in serious injuries.
Avoid placing your body in an unnat-
ural position. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. By doing this you
will be in a better position to control the fas-
tener driving tool in unforeseen circumstances.
Before any repair and maintenance work or
transport, remove the device from the com-
pressed air source.
RISK OF INJURY! Do not use the
device on scaffolds or ladders.
Never use hydrogen, oxygen, car-
bon dioxide or other bottled gasses
to power this tool as doing so may
result in an explosion and thus may cause se-
vere injuries.
RISK OF INJURY! Do not use the device if
the trigger lock
is damaged or has been
8
removed. Otherwise injuries may result.
