Risk to injury (cont.)
•
Fasteners could ricochet or be propelled causing serious
injury or property damage.
•
Never point discharge of tool at self or others.
•
Do not pull trigger unless tool contact safety device is
against work surface.
•
Never attempt to drive fasteners into hard surfaces such
as steel, concrete, or tile.
•
Take care to avoid driving a fastener on top of another
fastener.
•
Position tool carefully so that fasteners will be delivered
to the proper location.
•
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the
workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split allowing the
fastener to fly free or ricochet causing personal injury.
•
Improperly maintained tools and accessories can cause
serious injury.
•
Maintain the tool with care.
•
Always check that the striking element is operating
properly. Do not modify or disable the strike element, or
any tool parts.
•
There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
•
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects
the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using.
•
Use only accessories identified by the manufacturer to
be used with specific tools.
•
Use of an accessory not intended for use with the
specific tools, increases the risk of injury to persons.
Risk of electric shock
What could happen
How to prevent it
•
Using air tools to attach electrical wiring may result in
electrocution or death.
•
Never use a nailer to attach electrical wiring while
energized.
•
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and may result in electrocution or
death.
•
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
•
Fasteners coming in contact with hidden electrical wiring
may cause electrocution or death.
•
Thoroughly investigate the workpiece for possible hidden
wiring before performing work.
