vehicles and wagons.
Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the like
carefully to avoid possible electrical shock, gas
leakage, explosions, etc. caused by striking live
wires, conduits or gas pipes.

bottom. You can perform driving operations with
less fatigue by doing so.
A fastener will be bent or the tool can become jammed
if you mistakenly drive fastener on top of another
fastener or strike a knot in the wood. The fastener may
be thrown and hit someone, or the tool itself can react
dangerously. Place the fasteners with care.

and outside at the same time. Fasteners may rip
through and/or fly off, presenting a grave danger.
