21. Do not load fasteners with trigger or
safety depressed, to prevent unintentional
firing of a fastener. Fig. 13
22. Remove finger from trigger when not
driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger
on trigger. Contact Actuation tools will fire a
fastener if the safety mechanism is bumped
while trigger is depressed. Fig. 14.
23. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when using or
handling the tool.
24. Fire fasteners into work surface only:
never into materials too hard to penetrate.
Fig. 15.
25. Grip tool firmly to maintain control
while allowing tool to recoil away from
work surface as fastener is driven. With
Contact Actuation tools an unwanted
fastener will be fired if the safety
mechanism is allowed to recontact work
surface before trigger is released.
26. Do not drive fasteners on top of other
fasteners, or with the tool at too steep an
angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing
personal injury. Fig. 15.
27. Do not drive fasteners close to the
edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is
likely to split allowing the fastener to fly free
or ricochet causing personal injury. Fig. 16.
28. FOR TOOLS USED IN CONTACT
ACTUATION MODE, Do not use on
scaffoldings or ladders or for tasks in
which changing location involves the use of
scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like. Do
not use for specific tasks such as closing
boxes or crates or fitting transportation
safety systems on vehicles and wagons.
