▶ Do not attempt to drive fasteners into materials that are too hard, such as welded steel or cast
steel. Attempting to drive fasteners into these materials may lead to malfunctions, incorrectly driven
fasteners or breakage of fasteners.
▶ Do not attempt to drive fasteners into materials that are too soft, such as wood or plasterboard.
Attempting to drive fasteners into these materials may lead to malfunctions and fasteners being driven
incorrectly or driven right through the material.
▶ Do not attempt to drive fasteners into materials that are too brittle, such as glass or tiles. Attempting
to drive fasteners into these materials may lead to malfunctions, fasteners being driven incorrectly and
may cause the material to shatter.
▶ Before driving fasteners, check that there is no risk of injuring persons or of damaging objects
present behind or below the workpiece.
▶ Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
▶ Dust from materials such as paint containing lead, some types of wood, concrete, masonry and stone
containing quartz, as well as minerals and metals, may present health risks. Contact with or inhalation of
the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or other diseases among operators or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust such as oak and beech wood dust are classified as carcinogenic, especially in
conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may be handled only by specialists. Use a dust-extraction device wherever possible. When
indicated, wear a respirator appropriate for the type of dust generated. Ensure that the workplace
is well ventilated. Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with.
Mechanical safety rules
▶ Use only fasteners of a type approved for use with the tool.
Personal safety
▶ Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
▶ The tool is not intended for use by persons who have not received special training. Keep the tool
out of reach of children.
▶ Wear protective gloves to prevent the hands from chafing with frequent use of the tool.
Electrical safety
▶ Concealed electrical cables or gas and water pipes present a serious hazard if damaged while you are
working. Before beginning the work, check the working area for concealed electrical cables, gas
and water pipes, e.g. using a metal detector. External metal parts of the power tool may become live,
for example, when an electrical cable is damaged accidentally.
