General Tool Handling Guidelines - Makita AF631 Instruction Manual

General Tool Handling Guidelines:
1. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
2. Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether
it
contains fasteners or not.
3.
Never depress the operating control unless the
nosepiece of the tool is directed toward the
workpiece.
4. Respect the tool as a working implement.
5. No horseplay.
6. Do not transport the tool with the operating con-
trol depressed.
U
7. Do not load the tool with fasteners with the work-contacting element or operating con-
trol depressed.
Sparks sometimes fly when the tool is used. Do not
use the tool near volatile, flammable materials such
as gasoline, thinner, paint, gas, adhesives, etc.; they
will ignite and explode, causing serious injury.
The area should be sufficiently illuminated to assure
safe operations.
The area should be clear and litter- free. Be espe-
cially careful to maintain good footing and balance.
*Only those involved in the work should be in the
vicinity. Children especially must be kept away at
all times.
