Work safety
■
Never aim an operationally ready staple gun
directly at yourself or others.
■
While working, hold the staple gun so that your
head and body cannot be injured by a possible
kickback caused by a fault in the energy supply
or hard objects in the workpiece.
■
Never trigger the staple gun into the air.
This will prevent risks caused by flying nails or
staples and excessive strain on the appliance.
■
Before transport, disconnect the staple gun from
the compressed air source, especially if you are
using ladders or working in an unusual position.
■
In the workplace, carry the appliance only
by the handle and not with your finger on the
trigger.
■
Pay attention to the working conditions. Nails/
staples can break through thin workpieces or
slide off and injure people when working on the
corners or edges of workpieces.
■
Use suitable protection equipment to protect
yourself, e.g. hearing and eye protection.
Wearing protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries depending on the type
and use of the appliance.
