Dangers related to accessories and
consumables
▸
Use only fasteners and accessories that have
been manufactured or recommended by Würth.
▸
Do not lubricate the tool. Never lubricate the tool
as this can cause problems.
▸
The Technical Data section contains detailed infor-
mation about fasteners and accessories.
▸
Disconnect the energy supply to the tool, for
example battery or gas, before you change or
replace accessories such as the workpiece contact
or if you are making settings.
Workplace dangers
▸
Slipping, tripping and falling are the main reasons
for injuries in the workplace. Be aware of slippery
surfaces which could be created by using the tool.
▸
Exercise extra care in environments that you are
not familiar with. Hidden hazards may exist, e.g.
power or other service lines.
▸
The tool is not intended for use in areas with ex-
plosive atmospheres and is not insulated to protect
against contact with electrical power sources.
▸
Be especially carefully when firing fasteners into
existing walls or other blind areas, to prevent
contact with objects hidden therein (e.g. electric
cable, gas lines) or with persons on the other side.
Hazards due to dust and exhaust gas
▸
If the tool is used in an area with static
dust, it can stir up the dust and cause a
dangerous situation. The risk assessment
should include dust that is generated by use of the
tool and the possibility of whirling up existing dust.
▸
Align the exhaust gases so that the dust charge in
a dust-filled environment is minimised.
▸
Where hazards caused by dust or exhaust gas
exist, the priority is to control these by changing
the blowing out direction of the tool.
Noise hazards
▸
Unprotected contact with high noise levels can
result in permanent hearing damage, hearing
loss and other problems such as tinnitus (ringing,
buzzing, whistling or humming noise in the ears).
A risk assessment and the introduction of suitable
checks for such hazards are therefore vital.

Safety instructions
▸
Suitable measures for reduction of the risk
include, amongst others, material insulation
measures in order to prevent workpieces from
"ringing".
▸
Use suitable hearing protection.
▸
Operate and maintain the tool according to
the recommendations in the sections Working
Instructions and Maintenance/Care to prevent an
unnecessarily high noise level.
Vibration hazards
▸
Appropriate information is essential for carrying
out a risk assessment of these hazards and imple-
menting suitable checks.
▸
Vibrations can result in harm to the nerves and
blood supply of the hands and arms.
▸
When working in cold conditions, wear warm
clothing and keep your hands warm and dry.
▸
If you notice any numbness, tingling, pain or whit-
ening of the skin of your fingers or hands, consult
a qualified occupational health practitioner and
tell them about all of your tasks.
▸
Operate and maintain the tool according to the
recommendations in this manual to prevent an
unnecessary increase in the vibration level.
▸
Hold the tool with a light but secure grip because
the risk of vibrations is generally higher if more
force is used during gripping.
▸
If an operator is exposed to tool vibrations for a
long time, there is a risk that they will be subject
to repeating loads.
Additional safety instructions for
gas-operated devices
▸
Gas-operated devices may only be used with the
fuel cells listed in the Technical Data.
▸
Apply extra caution when using gas-operated
devices because they can become hot, impairing
your grip and control.
▸
Only use gas-operated devices in well-ventilated
rooms.
▸
If liquid flammable gas comes into contact with
the skin, injuries may result.
▸
Ensure that flammable materials are not exposed
to hot exhaust gases.
▸
Do not use gas-operated devices in explosive
areas because sparks in the device can cause
fires or an explosion.
▸
A small quantity of gas may be released during
normal operation with gas-operated devices.
