17.REMOVE FINGER FROM TRIGGER when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger on trigger: tool will fire a fastener if rubber cap is bumped while trigger is depressed. Fig. 10.
18.USE THE MALLET TO RACK THE WOOD STRIP, NOT THE NAILER. Fig. 11.
19.DO NOT USE THE METAL END OF THE MALLET TO STRIKE THE PLUNGER, use the rubber capped end only.
20.FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY: never into materials too hard to penetrate.
21.DO NOT USE THE NAILER TO POSITION the flooring strips. Hitting the rubber cap without first activating the trigger will cause severe internal damage to the Nailer. Fig.12.
22.THE TRIGGER IS A SAFETY DEVICE and should only be pulled when the Nailer is in proper position on the work surface and before the rubber cap is struck with the mallet. Do not tie or tape down the safety trigger as the Nailer could discharge if dropped on the rubber cap. The Nailer will not fire unless the trigger is pulled before the mallet blow. Fig.13.
23.DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS on top of other fasteners: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury.
