Projectile hazard
The fastener driving tool should be disconnected when unloading fasteners, making adjustments, removing jams, or changing
accessories.
During operation, ensure that the fasteners are correctly inserted into the material and cannot be defl ected/ejected towards the
operator or bystanders.
Contaminants may be released from the workpiece and the fastening/sorting system during operation.
Always wear impact-resistant eye protection with side guards when operating the tool.
The operator assesses the risk for others.
Exercise caution when using tools that do not come into contact with the workpiece, as they can be accidentally activated and
injure the operator or bystanders.
Ensure that the tool is always securely attached to the workpiece and cannot slip off .
Operation hazards
Hold the tool correctly: be ready to handle normal or sudden movements such as kickback.
Maintain a balanced and stable body posture.
Wear suitable protective glasses. It is recommended to use appropriate gloves and protective clothing.
Wear appropriate hearing protection.
Use the correct energy source according to the instructions.
The tool can only be used to drive fasteners into surfaces and materials made of wood or wood-based materials. It is forbidden to
use the tool to drive fasteners into hard materials such as metal, concrete or other materials of similar hardness.
When working on vehicles or mobile platforms, always apply safety measures to prevent injuries and hazards for the operator and
bystanders. It is forbidden to work when vehicles or platforms are in motion.
The tool operates in trip operating mode at the time of contact. This means that the fastener is driven when the tool is in contact
with the workpiece while the trigger is pressed. When working with the continuously pressed trigger, pay particular attention to
the driving point of the fastener. Do not rush and observe that the driving point of the fastener is not a hard material from which
the fastener can bounce. Take particular care not to drive the fastener into the body. This operating mode should not be used for
closing crates and boxes and for fi tting transport safety systems on trailers and load beds.
Hazards related to repetitive movements
When using the tool, the operator should adopt an appropriate but ergonomic posture. Maintain a stable posture and avoid un-
comfortable or unbalanced positions.
If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or recurrent discomfort, pain, pulsation, tingling, numbness, burning, or
stiff ness, he should not ignore these warning signs. The operator should consult a qualifi ed health care professional for general
advice.
Despite the safe design of the machine, there is a residual risk associated with performing repetitive movements during operation.
Observe the principle that repetitive movements should be performed less than 2 times per minute during operation. The force
exerted on the tool must not exceed 250 N for professional use and 184 N for home use. For more detailed information on working
hours and forces, see EN 1005-3 and EN 1005-4.
The operator or his employer should carry out a risk assessment of repetitive movements during operation. Every risk assessment
should focus on musculoskeletal disorders and be based primarily on the assumption that work fatigue reduction is eff ective in
reducing disorders.
Hazards related to accessories and consumables
Only use fasteners such as staples or nails intended for use with the pneumatic tools. Do not use ordinary nails or staples, even
if their sizes fi t or can be installed in the tool. Do not use staples in tools adapted only for driving nails. Do not use nails in tools
adapted only for driving staples.
Disconnect supply of the tool such as air before changing/replacing accessories, coming into contact with the workpiece or making
any adjustments.
Use only sizes and types of accessories that are allowed by the manufacturer.
Use only the lubricants recommended by the tool manufacturer.
The specifi cation of the fasteners should be in accordance with that given in the instructions manual.
Hazards at working area
Slips, stumbles and falls are the main causes of working area injuries. Remember about the slippery surfaces caused by the use
of the tool, as well as the dangers of tripping caused by the air hose.
Exercise particular caution in an unfamiliar environment. Hidden hazards, such as electricity or other utility lines, may exist.
The tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive areas and is not insulated against contact with electricity.
Make sure that there are no electric cables, gas pipes, etc. which could pose a risk in the case of damage to the tool.
Hazards related to dust and fl ue gases
Perform a risk assessment for dust and fl ue gas hazards. The risk assessment should include the dust generated by the use of
