Self and personnel protection
Persons less than 18 years old must not use
■
the tool. Excepted from this are young persons
of 16 and over who are working under su-
pervision within the scope of their vocational
training.
Always remain alert and take the utmost care
■
when working.
Do not use the tool if you are tired or under
■
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines.
 One moment of inattention can result in severe
injuries.
Do not work with the tool without having been
■
instructed in its use.
Always wear safety glasses and ear de-
■
fenders. Wear stout shoes and a safety
helmet.
 The wearing of personal protective equipment,
such as non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or
ear defenders, reduces the risk of injury.
Never carry the tool with your finger on the
■
trigger.
 If when doing so the non-mar tip is accidently
pressed, firing can be unintentionally triggered
and cause severe injuries.
Never point the tool towards any part of
■
your body, towards yourself or towards other
persons.
Ensure that you can always maintain a safe
■
standing position and maintain your balance
at all times.
 Use the splinter shield when firing set bolts into
concrete or steel.
Warn other people, who remain in the vicinity
■
of the fastening location, about detonation
noises which will arise when working with the
tool.
