pressure reducing valve which includes a downstream safety valve shall be built into the compressed
air supply;
5、Only spare parts specified by the manufacturer or his authorized representative shall be used in
the repair of fastener driving tools;
6、Repairs shall be carried out only by the manufacturers authorized agents or by other experts,
having due regard to the information given in the operating instructions.
7、Stands for mounting the fastener driving tools to a support, for example to a work table, shall be
designed and constructed by the stand manufacturer in such a way that the fastener driving tools
can be safely fixed for the intended use, thus for example avoiding damage, distortion, displacement.
Special fields of application for the fastener driving tool may require the observance of
additional provisions and regulations.
8、Only the main energy and lubricants listed in the operating instructions may be used:
9、Fastener driving tools marked with an inverted equilateral triangle standing on one point may
only be used with an effective safety voke;
10、For the maintenance of fastener driving tools, only spare parts specified by the manufacturer or
his authorized representative shall be used;
11、Repairs shall be carried out only by agents authorized by the manufacturer or by other
specialists, having due regard to the information given in the operating instructions;
NOTE: Specialists are those who, as a result by professional training or experience, have
sufficient expertise in the field of fastener driving tools and sufficient familiarity with relevant
govemmental industrial protection provisions, accident prevention regulations, directives and
generally recognized technical regulations(e.g.CEN-and CENELEC-standards),to be able to
assess the safe working condition of fastener driving tools.
2 Noise emission
The characteristic noise values for the fastener driving tool have been determined in accordance with
EN12549:1999 and EN ISO4871"Acoustics-Noise test code for fastener driving tools-Engineering
method"(see Technical Data).
These values are tool-related characteristic values and do not represent the noise development at the
point of use. Noise development at the point of use will for example depend on the working
environment, the work piece, the work piece support and the number of driving operations, etc.
Depending in the conditions at the workplace and the form of the workplace, individual noise
attenuation measures may need to be carried out, such as placing work pieces on sound-damping
supports, preventing work piece vibration by means of clamping or covering, adjusting to the
minimum air pressure required for the operation involved, etc,
In special cases it is necessary to wear hearing protection equipment.
3 Information on mechanical impact (vibration)
The characteristic vibration values for the fastener driving tool have been determined in accordance
with ISO 8662-11:1999 and EN 12096 – Measurement of vibration in hand-held power tools – Part
11:Fastener driving tools(see Technical Data).
This value is a tool-related characteristic value and does not represent the influence to the
hand-arm-system when using the tool. An influence to the hand-arm-system when using the tool
will for example depend on the gripping force, the contact pressure force, the working direction, the
adjustment of energy supply, the workplace, the work piece support.

4 Safety of the fastener driving tool
1、Check prior to each operation that the safety and triggering mechanism is functioning properly
and that all nuts and bolts are right.
2、Do not carry out any alterations to the fastener driving tool without the manufactures
authorization.
3、Do not disassemble or make inoperative any parts of the fastener driving tool such as the safety
yoke.
4、Do not perform any "emergency repairs" without proper tools and equipment.
5、The fastener driving tool should be serviced properly and at regular intervals in accordance with
the Manufacturer's instructions.
6、Avoid weakening or damaging the too, for example by:
Punching or engraving;
7、Modification not authorized by the manufacturer
8、Guiding against templates made of hard material such as steel;
9、Use the equipment as a hammer;
10、Applying excessive force of any kind
5 Safety at work
Never point any operational fastener driving tool at yourself or at
any other person or animals.
Hold the fastener driving tool during the work operation in such a
way that no injuries can be caused to the head or to the body in the
event of possible recoil consequent upon a disruption in the energy
supply or hard areas within the workplace.(see fig 3)
Never actuate the fastener driving tool into free space. This will
avoid any hazard caused by free flying fasteners and excessive strain
of the tool.
The tool shall be disconnected from the compressed air system for the
purpose of transportation, especially where ladders are used or where
an unusual physical posture is adopted whilst moving(see Fig 4).
Carry the fastener driving tool at the workplace using only the
handle, and never with the trigger actuated.
Take conditions at the workplace into account. Fasteners can penetrate thin work pieces or slip off
corners and edges of workplaces, and thus put people at risk.
For personal safety, use protective equipment such ad hearing and eye protection (see fig 3)
IMPORTANT: DO NOT direct the adjustable vent hole to the operator or other person during the use.
6 Triggering devices
Fastener driving tools are operated by actuating the trigger using finger pressure.
In addition, fastener driving tool is fitted with a safety yoke which enables the driving operation to
be carried out only after the muzzle of the tool is pressed against a work piece, These tool are
marked with an inverted triangle(
) behind the serial number and are not permitted for use without
an effective safety yoke.
7 Actuating systems
Depending on their purpose, fastener driving tool is fitted with actuating system of single sequential
actuation.
