• Frequently check the operation of the
workpiece contact. Do not use the tool if it
is not working correctly, otherwise this could
result in unintentional firing of a fastener. Do
not impede the correct functioning of the
workpiece contact.
Do not remove any tool control elements (e.g.
■
trigger, workpiece contact), do not modify
them and do not render them inoperative in
any other way.
Do not use the tool, if a part that belongs to
■
the tool control elements (e.g. trigger, work-
piece contact), is not operational, is discon-
nected, has been modified or is not working
correctly.
Always assume that the tool contains faste-
■
ners. Only activate the tool when it is firmly
against the workpiece.
Respect the tool as working equipment.
■
Do not play around with the tool.
■
Remain alert, concentrate on the work and
■
apply common sense when working with the
tools.
Do not use the tool if you are tired,
■
have consumed drugs or alcohol or are under
■
the influence of medicines.
Do not drive fasteners in above other faste-
■
ners. This could result in the fasteners being
deflected leading to injuries.
After driving in a fastener, the tool may jump
■
back ("recoil"), which means it moves away
from the working surface. To reduce the risk of
injury, you should always be prepared for a
recoil in the following way:
• Always maintain control over the tool.
• Allow for the recoil in a controlled manner,
so that the tool can move away from the
working. surface.
• Keep your face and other body parts away
from the tool openings.
Take care when working near to the edge of a
■
working surface or at steep angles to prevent
ricocheting of fasteners, spalling, splintering or
flying apart, all of which could lead to injuries.
Do not load any fasteners into the tool if one
■
of the control elements (e.g. trigger, workpiece
contact) is currently activated.

Safety instructions
When fastening roofs or similar inclined
■
surfaces, start at the bottom part and work
gradually upwards. Working downwards is
hazardous, because you could loose your foo-
ting. Never fire the tool into free space. This
prevents any dangers resulting from fasteners
flying around and excess loading of the tool.
Do not use the tool as a hammer.
■
This tool may only be used for the intended
■
purpose.

Foreseeable dangers and warnings in respect of
the general use of the tool are described below.
Assess the specific risks that could arise from each
use separately.

Danger of projectile parts
Remove the battery and gas cartridge in the
■
following situations:
• None-use;
• Performance of maintenance or repairs;
• Clearance of a jam;
• Lifting, lowering or other such movements of
• The tool is outside the supervision or control
• Adjustments are being made;
• Removal of fasteners from the magazine; or
• Changing/replacement of accessories
During operation, ensure that the fasteners
■
penetrate the material correctly and cannot be
fired/deflected in the direction of the operator
and/or other people.
Fragments from the workpiece or from the
■
fastening or bundle system may be ejected
during operation.
When operating the tool, always wear impact-
■
resistant safety glasses with side protection.
The risks for other persons must be assessed
by the operator.
