General
Never ignore the safety instructions.
■
When using the tool, bear in mind that the
■
fasteners could be deflected and thus cause
injuries.
Keep your fingers away from the trigger if you
■
are not actually operating the tool and merely
swapping the tool from one working position
to another.
Keep all body parts such as hands and legs,
■
etc. away from the direction of shooting and
ensure that the fastener cannot penetrate
through the workpiece into a body part.
Ensure that you have read and understood the
■
safety instructions before connecting, discon-
necting, loading, operating or servicing the
tool, or changing accessories or working in
the vicinity of the tool. Failure to comply could
result in severe injuries.
During operation, place the nail outlet opening
■
of the tool correctly on the working surface. If
the outlet opening is not correctly positioned,
the fasteners could be ejected away from the
working surface.
Hold the tool firmly in the hand and be pre-
■
pared for the recoil.
Only technically accomplished operators
■
should use the tool.
Do not make any changes to the tool. Mod-
■
ifications can reduce the effectiveness of the
safety precautions and increase the risk for the
operator or bystanders.
When operating with a tool, which is intended
■
for use on hard surfaces such as steel or
concrete, additional contact pressure must
be applied to operate the tool and prevent
slipping.
Do not use any tool that is damaged or not
■
operating correctly. Label the tool as defective
and remove it from the working area to prevent
its further use.
Be careful when handling fasteners, especially
■
during loading and unloading because the
fasteners have sharp tips, which could lead to
injuries.
Before use, always check the tool for broken,
■
incorrectly connected or worn parts.

Safety instructions
Avoid an abnormal bodily posture. Only use
■
the tool in a secure work station. Ensure that
you can always maintain a safe standing
position and maintain your balance at all times.
Keep bystanders and children away (if you are
■
working in an area, in which the movement of
people is likely). Clearly mark your working
area.
Never point the tool towards yourself or
■
towards other persons. Unintended activations
could cause serious accidents. Ensure that the
outlet opening is not directed towards people
when you are connecting the tool, loading and
unloading fasteners or performing other similar
processes.
Do not leave your finger on the trigger when
■
you are lifting the tool, moving it between
working areas and positions or when you are
walking with the tool because this could result
in unintentional triggering. With tools with
selective activation, the tool must always be
checked prior to use to ensure that the correct
mode has been selected.
Only wear gloves that offer appropriate tactile
■
sensitivity and ensure safe control of the trigger
and all adjustment devices.
You can find detailed information for correct
■
maintenance in the tool maintenance instruc-
tions (maintenance/care). Only qualified
personnel can repair the tool using parts that
are supplied or recommended by Würth or
equivalent parts of the same quality.
Before use, check the tool for the following:
■
• Flawless condition of the tool.
• No incorrect alignment or jamming of moving
parts.
• Compliance with all conditions for the correct
and safe operation of the tool.
• That before use of the tool all screws and
bolts are tightened and have been correctly
attached. Loose or incorrectly attached
screws or bolts would cause accidents and
damage to the tool upon start-up.
• Frequently check the operation of the work-
piece contact. Do not use the tool if it is not
working correctly, otherwise this could result
in unintentional firing of a fastener. Do not im-
pede the correct functioning of the workpiece
contact.
