eye protection must meet the requirement
of ANSI Standard Z87, and should have side
shields for increased protection .
3. NEVER ASSUME THE TOOL IS EMPTY.
Every time you pick up the TrakFast tool,
check the Magazine for fasteners . Never
point the tool at anyone or yourself, even
if you are absolutely sure there are no
fasteners in the tool . The fastener you did
not see is the fastener that can injure you
or someone else .
4. NEVER ENGAGE IN “HORSEPLAY”
WITH THE TOOL. The TrakFast tool is not
a toy . . . it is a power fastening tool . It is
designed to drive a fastener through steel
sheets into concrete . To accomplish this
task, it generates a tremendous amount
of energy . Fooling around, even when you
are absolutely sure there are no fasteners
in the tool, is asking for an accident .
