• Only use the Powder Actuated Tool if it is in good working condition and has been properly maintained.
• When the device is not in use, the workplace is being changed, during transportation, in case of jams and during maintenance: Keep your finger away from the trigger, remove the magazine and cartridge strip.
• Slippery handles may lead to loss of control: Keep the handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
• There is a blowback/recoil when the shooting nail is fi red. Do not keep your head directly above the Powder Actuated Toll when fi ring the shooting nail and start with a low fi ring strength (power regulator) and charge, see chapter 2.2 "Cartridge strips" and chapter 3.4 "Test attachment".
• Ensure that you stand securely and can hold your balance, especially on platforms as well as elevated and/or slanted, uneven or slippery workplaces.
  – The Powder Actuated Toll may not be used on a ladder.
• The Powder Actuated Tool may not be used to close boxes or crates.
• The Powder Actuated Tool may not be used to fit transport locks to vehicles and wagons.

While being shot into the material, nails can break into multiple parts and cause serious injuries.

This can, for example, be the case if the fi ring strength is set too high. When fi ring nails into materials that are too soft, too thin or too hard. When nails strike other nails. When fi ring into pre-drilled holes without suitable guidance mechanisms.

• Keep a minimum distance to edges, borders and corners, see chapter 3.1 "Minimum distances while shooting nails".
• Keep a minimum distance of 75 ~mm to cracked or chipped areas of concrete.
• Determine the suitable fi ring strength (power regulator) and charge using a test attachment procedure, see chapter 3.4 "Test attachment".
• Use a splinter guard. This reduces the risks presented by ricocheting shooting nails

- You may not use the Powder Actuated Toll when people are located on the other side.
