3. General Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your air tool, carefully
observe all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Pass on your air tool only together with these docu-
ments.
- The user or user's employer must evaluate the
specific risks associated with each application of
the tool.
- You must read and understand the safety instruc-
tions before installing, operating, repairing or
maintaining the tool, and also before replacing any
fasteners or carrying out any work in the vicinity of
the air tool. Failure to read and follow the instruc-
tions may lead to serious injury.
- Only qualified, trained operators are authorised to
install, adjust or use the air tool.
- The air tool must not be modified. Any modifica-
tions implemented may reduce the efficiency of
the safety measures and increase risks for the
operator.
- Never use air tools that have been damaged. Look
after your air tools carefully. Regularly check that
all moving parts are functioning correctly without
jamming. Also regularly ensure that no parts are
broken or damaged to an extent that they affect
the operation of the air tool. Check that all signs
and labels are legible and intelligible. Have
damaged parts repaired or replaced before using
the tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained air tools.

4. Special Safety Instructions

4.1 Risks associated with ejected parts
- If either the workpiece, fasteners or the air tool
breaks, parts may be ejected at high speed.
- During operation, when replacing accessories or
fasteners or during repair and maintenance work
on the air tool, you must always wear impact-
resistant safety goggles. The degree of protection
required for each individual task must be evalu-
ated separately in each case.
- Ensure that the workpiece is securely attached.
- Disconnect the air tool from the compressed air
supply before replacing the mounted tool or
accessories, and also before carrying out mainte-
nance, settings or cleaning.
- Also ensure that no other people are placed at
risk.
4.2 Risks during operation
- The operator and maintenance staff must be
physically capable of handling the size, weight
and power output of the air tool.
- Make sure you hold the air tool correctly: be
prepared to counter both routine and unexpected
movements, so keep both hands ready.
- Ensure you stand in a safe position and keep your
balance at all times.
- Avoid accidental operation. If the air supply is
interrupted, do not actuate the trigger (9).
- Only use lubricants that have been recommended
by the manufacturer.
- Wear personal protective equipment and always
wear safety glasses and ear protection. Wearing
personal protective equipment, such as non-slip
safety shoes, reduces the risk of injury.
- Never point a stapler gun at yourself or other
persons when it is ready for operation.
- When working, hold the stapler gun such that your
head and body cannot be injured in case of a
possible kickback.
