working in the vicinity of this tool.
Also, your eye protection must
meet the requirement of ANSI
Standard Z87, and should have side shields for
increased protection.
3. NEVER ASSUME THE TOOL IS EMPTY.
Every time you pick up the ST-315i tool, check the
Magazine for fasteners . Never point the tool at
anyone or yourself, even if you are absolutely sure
there are no fasteners in the tool. The fastener you
did not see is the fastener that can injure you or
someone else.
4. NEVER ENGAGE IN "HORSEPLAY" WITH THE
TOOL. The ST-315i tool is not a toy. . . it is
a power fastening tool. It is designed to drive a
a fastener into wood base material. To accomplish
this task, it generates a tremendous amount of
energy.
Fooling around, even when you are absolutely
sure there are no fasteners in the tool, is asking
for an accident.
