General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool”
in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
-
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
-
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
-
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY -
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
-
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
-
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
-
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
-
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
-
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY -
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
-

---|---
| DANGER
The Fusion tool is charged with compressed air in a sealed chamber. Prior to
any service or repair, release the charge of pressurized gas.
The pressurized air must be released prior to service. Major components such
as the piston/driver assembly, gearbox, piston stop and guide body are all
part of the drive assembly.
Deliberate tampering with the drive assembly may result in the release of the
driver.
Any repair or upgrade requiring access to the pressure chamber may be handled
by an authorized Semco dealer or service center.
Disconnect tool from battery when:
- Outside of the operator’s supervision or control.
- Performing maintenance or repair
- Clearing a jam
- Moving the tool to a new location
- Adjusting depth of drive
With battery disconnected, make daily inspection to assure free movement of
workpiece contact element and trigger. Do not use tool if workpiece contact
element or trigger sticks or binds.
Always remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry the
tool with finger on or under trigger. Tool will eject a fastener if the
workpiece contact element is bumped and the trigger is pulled.
Drive fasteners into work surface only; never into materials too hard to
penetrate.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep
of an angle; the fasteners can ricochet and hurt someone.
When using tool, care should be taken due to possibility of tool recoil after
a fastener is driven. If workpiece contact element is unintentionally allowed
to re-contact work surface following a recoil, an unwanted fastener may be
driven. Therefore, allow tool to recoil completely off work surface after a
fastener is driven to avoid this condition. Do not push workpiece contact
element on work surface until a second fastener is desired.
Please review triggering options.
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work surface. The workpiece is
likely to split and the fastener could fly or ricochet and hit someone.
Never use any part of the tool (i.e., the cap or midbody ) as a hammer. The
tool may activate or become damaged and result in an unsafe condition.
Keep hands and other body parts away from the area shown in the circle to
avoid possible injury during operation.
Do not use tool without Danger Label on tool. If label is missing, damaged or unreadable, contact your SENCO representative to obtain a new label at no cost.
| Tool Use
---|---
| Read and understand tool labels and manual. Failure to follow warnings will
result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
| Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side
shields.
| Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving fasteners, to avoid
accidental firing.
Choice of triggering method is important. See page 12 for triggering options.
Never point tool at yourself or others in work area.
Always point the tool away when connecting battery.
Do not alter or remove trigger or safety.
Tools shall not be modified without written approval of the manufacturer.

Notes: The declared vibration total has been measured in accordance with
a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
Warning: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can
differ from declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used.
Safety measures to protect the operator should be identified that are based on
an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of
all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
