Repeating movements
If a tool is used for a long time, it can result in
■
discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck
or other body parts.
When using a tool, the operator must adopt a
■
suitable but still ergonomic stance. Ensure you
are standing securely and avoid uncomfortable
of unstable body postures.
If a tool operator experiences symptoms
■
such as persistent or recurring discomfort,
pain, throbbing, pins and needles, numbness,
burning, or stiffness, do not ignore these
warning signs. The operator should consult a
health professional and describe all of their
work tasks.
Each risk assessment should focus on muscu-
■
loskeletal disorders, in particular based on the
assumption that reducing tiredness during work
can effectively reduce health disorders.
Dangers related to accessories and
consumables
Use only fasteners and accessories that have
■
been manufactured or recommended by
Würth.
Never lubricate the tool as this can cause
■
problems.
The Technical Data section contains detailed
■
information about fasteners and accessories.
Disconnect the energy supply to the tool, for
■
example air or gas, before you change or
replace accessories such as the workpiece
contact, or if you are making settings.
Workplace dangers
Slipping, tripping and falling are the main
■
reasons for injuries in the workplace. Be aware
of slippery surfaces which could be created by
using the tool.
Exercise extra care in environments that you
■
are not familiar with. Hidden hazards may
exist, e.g. power or other service lines.
The tool is not intended for use in areas with
■
explosive atmospheres and is not insulated to
protect against contact with electrical power
sources.

Safety instructions
Be especially carefully when firing fasteners
■
into existing walls or other blind areas, to pre-
vent contact with objects hidden therein (e.g.
electric cable, gas lines) or with persons on the
other side.
Hazards due to dust and exhaust gas
If the tool is used in an area with
■
static dust, it can stir up the dust and
cause a dangerous situation. The risk as-
sessment should include dust that is generated
by use of the tool and the possibility of whirling
up existing dust.
Align the air outlet so that the dust load in a
■
dust-filled environment is minimised.
Where hazards caused by dust or exhaust
■
gas exist, the priority is to control these by
changing the blowing out direction of the tool.
Noise hazards
Unprotected contact with high noise levels
■
can result in permanent hearing damage,
hearing loss and other problems such as
tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming
noise in the ears). A risk assessment and the
introduction of suitable checks for such hazards
are therefore vital.
Suitable measures for reduction of the risk
■
include, amongst others, material insulation
measures in order to prevent workpieces from
"ringing".
Use suitable hearing protection.
■
Operate and maintain the tool according to
■
the recommendations in the sections Operation
and Maintenance/Care to prevent an unneces-
sarily high noise level.
Vibration hazards
Appropriate information is essential for car-
■
rying out a risk assessment of these hazards
and implementing suitable checks.
Vibrations can result in harm to the nerves and
■
blood supply of the hands and arms.
When working in cold conditions, wear warm
■
clothing and keep your hands warm and dry.
If you notice any numbness, tingling, pain or
■
whitening of the skin of your fingers or hands,
consult a qualified occupational health practi-
tioner and tell them about all of your tasks.
