GENERAL SAFETY RULES:

1. For multiple hazards, read and understand the safety instructions before installing,

operating, repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or working near the

assembly power tool for non-threaded mechanical fasteners.

2. Only qualified and trained operators should install, adjust or use the assembly power

tool for non threaded mechanical fasteners.

3. Do not modify this assembly power tool for non-threaded mechanical fasteners. Modifications can

reduce effectiveness of safety measures and increase the risks to the operator.

4. Do not discard safety instructions; give them to the operator.

5. Do not use assembly power tool for non-threaded mechanical fasteners if it has been damaged.

6. Tools shall be inspected periodically to verify all ratings and markings required are

legible. The employer/user shall contact the manufacturer to obtain replacement

marking labels when necessary.

PROJECTILE HAZARDS:

1. Disconnect the tool from the energy source when changing inserted tools/nose as-

semblies or accessories.

2. Be aware that failure of the workpiece or accessories, or even the inserted tool/nose

assembly itself can generate high-velocity projectiles.

3. Always wear impact resistant eye protection during operation of the tool. The grade of

protection required should be assessed for each use.

4. The risk to others should also be assessed at this time.

5. Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.

6. Check that the means of protection from ejection of fastener and/or stem is in place

and operative (such as the deflector or collection bottle).

7. If the mandrel collecting containers can be fitted, ensure they are properly connected

and used correctly. By-passing of the safety switch is prohibited.

8. Forcible ejection of the mandrel from the front of the nose assembly is possible.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS:

1. The plug must not be altered in any way. Do not use adapter plugs in conjunction with

earthed fast chargers.

2. Avoid physical contact with ungrounded surfaces, such as pipes, heaters, cookers or

refrigerators.

3. Keep installation tools away from water or rain. The ingress of water into the installation

tool increases the risk of electrical shock.

3. Do not misuse the cable, e.g. for carrying or hanging the fast charger or for pulling the

plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving

parts. Damage or twisted cables increase risk of electric shock.

4. When using the installation tool outdoors, use for the fast charger only extension

cords that are also suitable for outdoor use. This will reduce risk of electric shock.

5. If the use of the installation tool in a damp environment is unavoidable, use for the fast

charger a residual current circuit breaker to avoid risk of shock.

6. The plug of the setting tool must fit properly into the plug socket. Modified plugs and

non matching plug sockets increase the risk of an electric shock.

SAFETY WARNINGS

OPERATING HAZARDS:

1. Use of tool can expose the operator's hands to hazards, including crushing, impacts,

cuts, abrasions and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect hands.

2. Operators and maintenance personnel shall be physically able to handle the bulk,

weight and power of the tool.

3. Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements and

have both hands available.

4. Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.

5. Release the start-and-stop device in the case of interruption of energy supply.

6. Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer.

7. Avoid unsuitable postures as it is likely for these positions not to allow counteracting

of normal or unexpected movement of the tool.

8. If the tool is fixed to a suspension device, make sure that fixation is secure.

9. Beware of the risk of crushing or pinching if nose equipment is not fitted.

10. Due to the tool weight, it is recommended safety shoes be worn during operation.

11. It is recommended tool be operated not more than 50 out of every 60 minutes, where

prolonged use is expected.

REPETITIVE MOTIONS HAZARDS:

1. When using the tool, the operator can experience discomfort in the hands, arms,

shoulders, neck or other parts of the body.

2. While using the tool, the operator should adopt a comfortable posture while maintaining

a secure footing and avoiding awkward or off balanced postures. The operator should

change posture during extended tasks; this can help avoid discomfort and fatigue.

3. If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain,

throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensations or stiffness, these warning

signs should not be ignored. The operator should tell the employer and consult a

qualified health professional.

ACCESSORY HAZARDS:

1. Disconnect tool from energy supply before changing the nose assembly or accessory.

2. Use only sizes and types of accessories recommended by the manufacturer. Do not

use other types or sizes of accessories.

WORKPLACE HAZARDS:

1. Do not work with the installation tool in a potentially explosive atmosphere where

there may be flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Installation tools generate sparks

that could ignite dusts or vapors.

2. Keep children and other persons away when working with the installation tool. If

distracted, you may lose control of the installation tool.

3. Do not use the installation tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. Severe personal injury could result.

4. Be careful, pay attention to what you are doing and work sensibly when using the

installation tool.

NOISE HAZARDS:

1. Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and other

problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears). There-

fore, risk assessment and the implementation of appropriate controls for these haz-

ards are essential.

2. Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions such as damping materials

to prevent workpieces from "ringing".

3. Use hearing protection in accordance with employer's instructions and as required by

occupational health and safety regulations.

4. Operate and maintain the assembly power tool for non-threaded mechanical fasteners

as recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent an unnecessary increase in

the noise level.

5. Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as recommended in the

instruction handbook, to prevent an unnecessary increase in noise.

6. If the power tool has a silencer, always ensure that it is in place and in good working

order when the power tool is being operated.

VIBRATION HAZARDS:

1. Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of

the hands and arms.

2. Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your hands warm and dry.

3. If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in your fingers or

hands, stop using the assembly power tool for non-threaded mechanical fasteners,

tell your employer and consult a physician.

4. Support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer, because a lighter grip

can then be used to support the tool.
