Special Devices - Berner 245090 Bedienungsanleitung

6.2) NEVER DRIVE FASTENERS into extremely hard materials or directly on top of other fasteners.
The tool may recoil, or the fastener could ricochet away from the intended work piece, causing injury
to the operators or bystanders.
6.3) NEVER USE THE TOOL in the presence of flammable materials or flammable vapours. A spark
from the tool could ignite the flammable substance, causing a fire or explosion and injuring the tool
operator or bystanders.
6.4) ALWAYS GRIP THE TOOL HANDLE FIRMLY to maintain control of the tool, should the tool
recoil unexpectedly. Allow the tool to recoil normally to prevent the tool from being actuated again on
top of another fastener, or on an unsafe area or operator body part.
6.5) ALWAYS KEEP hands, feet and all other body parts AWAY from the area being fastened. A
fastener can ricochet or follow the grain of the wood when driven, allowing the fastener point to exit the
work unexpectedly and cause injury.
6.6) NEVER USE THE TOOL AS A HAMMER or impact device to position the workpiece. The
sudden impact could shift inner components of the tool, resulting in a fastener discharge and injury to
the operator and bystanders.
6.7) NEVER MODIFY OR ALTER THE TOOL in any way. Unauthorized tool modifications may
create hazardous tool operation, and result in injury to the tool operator or bystanders.
6.8) ALWAYS USE RECOMMENDED SPARE PARTS and accessories. The use of improper parts
may create a hazard, and result in injury to the tool operator or bystanders.
6.9) ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE TOOL from the air supply when: loading and unloading, tool is
unattended, performing service or maintenance, clearing a jam, relocating the tool and/or handing the
tool to another person. Unauthorized users may attempt to operate the tool, injuring themselves or
others.
6.10) ALWAYS MAINTAIN A FIRM STANCE and secure balance when operating the tool. Never
overreach or attempt to operate the tool if a sudden recoil would result in loss of balance or tool
control.
6.11) FASTENER DRIVING TOOLS EQUIPPED WITH CONTACT ACTUATION, marked
with the symbol "Do not use on scaffoldings, ladders", shall not be used for specific application for
example:
- When changing one driving location to another involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, or
ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,
- Closing boxes and crates,
- Fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on vehicles and wagons.
6.12) ALWAYS UNLOAD THE MAGAZINE WHEN FASTENING HAS BEEN COMPLETED
and the tool has been disconnected from the air supply. Allowing fasteners to remain in the tool may
result in the wrong size fasteners being used for the next fastening application to be performed. Using
a tool with the wrong size fastener can result in an unexpected tool recoil, or splitting and pass-through
of the fastener caused by over-driving of the fastener into the work. Unexpected recoils and free-flying
fasteners can result in injury to the tool operator or bystanders.
6.13) STANDS FOR MOUNTING THE FASTENER DRIVING TOOLS to a support for example
a work table, shall be designed and constructed by the stand manufacturer in such a way that the fastener
driving tool can be safely fixed for the intended use, thus for example avoiding damage, distortion or
displacement.

7) SPECIAL DEVICES

Tools equipped with special accessories or operating devices must be checked for proper configuration
before being operated. Always make sure that all accessories and devices are functioning as indicated
in the operating instructions for the device. Never attempt to operate a tool if you are unfamiliar with
the type of accessory or device the tool is equipped with. Read the appropriate operating instructions,
or call the Customer Service Desk for assistance.
