BRAD NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS
BRAD NAILER SAFETY
1. THIS TOOL IS DESIGNED for household use only, not
for industrial or professional purposes. Do not force the
tool to do a job for which it was not designed.
2. INSPECT TOOL BEFORE USE. Do not operate if any
portion of the tool, trigger, or safety bracket is damaged,
inoperable, disconnected, or altered. Damaged or
missing parts should be repaired or replaced.
3. GRIP THE TOOL FIRMLY with both hands to maintain
control while still allowing it to recoil away from the work
surface as the fastener is driven.
4. KEEP FACE AND BODY PARTS AWAY from the back
of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden
recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when
nailing into hard or dense material.
5. DO NOT DISCHARGE fasteners into open air, concrete,
stone, extremely hard woods, knots, or any material too
hard for the fastener to penetrate.
6. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS near the edge of your work
material. The workpiece may split, causing the fastener
to ricochet, injuring you or a bystander. Be aware that
the fastener may follow the grain of the wood, causing
it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work
material. Drive the fastener perpendicular to the grain to
reduce risk of injury.
7. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS onto the heads of other
fasteners. Do not use the tool at too steep of an angle.
Personal injury from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or
ricochetted nails may result.
8. BE AWARE of material thickness when using the nailer.
A protruding nail may cause injury.
9. WHEN THE TOOL IS BEING UTILIZED AT SPEEDS
ON THE HIGH END of its operating range, fasteners
can be driven completely through thin or very soft work
material. Make sure the speed is set so that fasteners are
set into the material and not pushed completely through.
10. REMOVE FINGER FROM TRIGGER when not driving
fasteners. Never carry the tool with your finger on the
trigger.
11. IF THE FASTENERS ARE JAMMED, turn the tool OFF
and remove the battery from the tool before removing
the jammed fasteners.
12. TURN THE TOOL OFF AND REMOVE THE BATTERY
FROM THE TOOL WHEN NOT IN USE. Remove fasteners
from magazine before leaving the area or passing the
tool to another operator. Do not climb ladders, stairs,
scaffoldings, etc. with the tool ON. Do not carry the
tool when it is ON to another work area. Do not make
adjustments, remove magazine, perform maintenance
or clear jammed fasteners while the tool is ON.
13. DO NOT REMOVE, tamper with, or otherwise cause
the tool, trigger, or safety bracket to become inoperable.
Do not tape or tie the trigger or safety bracket in the ON
position. Do not remove springs from the safety bracket.
Make daily inspections for free movement of the trigger
and safety bracket. Do not alter or modify the tool in any
way.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. Always keep tools
clean and in good working order. Follow instructions for
lubricating, changing accessories, and storage.
WARNING! Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety rules.
Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
