16. REMOVE FINGER FROM TRIGGER
when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool
with finger on trigger: tool may fire a fastener
if safety is bumped while trigger is
depressed. Fig. 10.
17. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times when using
or handling the tool. Fig. 11.
18. FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK
SURFACE ONLY: never into materials too
hard to penetrate. Fig. 12.
19. GRIP TOOL FIRMLY TO MAINTAIN
CONTROL WHILE allowing tool to recoil
away from work surface as fastener is driven.
If safety element is allowed to recontact work
surface before trigger is released, an
unwanted fastener may be fired.
20. 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. 13.
21. 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.
13.
22. KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS
away from area shown in Fig. 13A, to avoid
injury.
23. 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. Fig. 13B.
