DANGER
•Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side
shields which conforms to ANSI Z87.1 specifications.
WARNING
•NEVER point tool at yourself or others
•in work area.
Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving fasteners to avoid acciden-
•tal operation.
Never place your face, hands or feet closer than 8 inches (200 mm) from
discharge area when using. The Tool may bounce from the recoil of driving a fastener and an unwanted second fastener may be driven• possibly causing injury.
Check operation of the safety mechanism frequently. Do not use the Tool if the safety is not working correctly as acciden- tal driving of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the
•proper operation of the safety mechanism.
The safety trigger is a safety device and should only be pulled when the Tool is in proper position on the work surface and
•before the ram/actuator is struck with the mallet.
Do not tie or tape down the safety trigger as the Tool could discharge if dropped on the plunger. The Tool will not operate unless the trigger is pulled before striking the ram/actuator
•with the mallet.
Do not use the safety as a disabling mechanism for the ram/ actuator in order to use the Tool to rack the wood. This will severely damage the mechanism and the Tool. This abuse and damage is not covered by the warranty. Use the mallet to rack
•the flooring, not the Tool.
Do not strike the ram/actuator without pulling the safety trig- ger! Hitting the Tool with the safety engaged will damage the
•safety mechanism and the Tool.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with Tool at too steep of an angle; fasteners can ricochet and hurt someone.
