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 pre-
vent 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.
Avoid an abnormal bodily posture. Only use
■
the tool in a secure work station. Ensure that
you can always maintain a safe standing posi-
tion and maintain your balance at all times.

Safety instructions
Keep bystanders and children away (if you
■
are working in an area, in which the move-
ment 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.
When not using, remove the battery and fuel
■
cell.
You can find detailed information for correct
■
maintenance in the tool maintenance instruc-
tions. Only qualified personnel can repair the
tool using parts that are supplied or recom-
mended by Würth or equivalent parts of the
same quality.
Do not smoke on your workplace and keep
■
the device away from naked flames or electric
sparks.
The device must not be operated in a wet or
■
damp environment. Do not expose the device
to rain.
Before use, check the tool for the following:
■
• Use a suitable power source - see Techni-
cal Data.
• Flawless condition of the tool.
• For which activation system the tool is set
and how it functions.
• 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.
