•Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate properly. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Frequently check the operation of the workpiece contact mechanism. Do not use
the tool if the workpiece contact mechanism is not working properly, as accidental
nailing may occur. Do not interfere with the proper functioning of the workpiece
contact mechanism.
•Do not use a tool that is not working properly.

discharge could occur.
•Always handle the tool with care:
oRespect the tool as a work instrument.
oNever pull the trigger unless attention is directed to the work.

unexpectedly from the side of the work material or defect, potentially causing
injury.
•Keep hands and body parts away from immediate work area.
