Do not use powder‑actuated tools in a flammable or
an explosiveatmosphere.
Do not fire a tool without a fastener. The piston will
impact the work surface possibly causing serious injury to
the operator or bystanders along with damage to thetool.
Do not load the tool until you are ready to make a
fastening. Check the power load level before inserting it
into the toolchamber.
Fastener must be loaded prior to loading the powder
load, to prevent injury to operator or bystander in
the event of an accidentaldischarge.
Hold the tool perpendicular to the work surface at
all times. Use a spall guard wherever possible. This will
limit the possibility of fastener ricochet which could cause
serious injury or death to the operator orbystanders.
Always perform a test fastening with the lightest
load level, and set to the lightest power level
designed for use in the tool. If the lightest load fails to
set the fastener, try the next highest load until the proper
level is attained. Failure to follow this procedure may
cause the fastener to be overpowered. If this occurs, the

Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETYEQUIPMENT:
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicalsare:
lead from lead‑based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically‑
treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopicparticles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmfulchemicals.
fastener may fully penetrate the base material causing
serious injury or death to someone. Overpowering the
fastener can also damage the tool, creating a safety
hazard to both the operator orbystanders.
Do not fasten into cast iron, tile, glass, or other types
of brittle materials. These materials can shatter and
create sharp fragments which may causeinjury.
Do not fire tool within 3" (76 mm) of the edge of a
concrete base material or within 1/2" (13mm) of the
edge of a steel basematerial.
Do not attempt to install a fastener closer than 3"
(76mm) to another previously inserted fastener in
concrete or 1‑1/2" (38mm) insteel.
Do not fasten into a concrete base material less than
3times as thick as the fastener penetration or into a
steel base material thinner than 1/8" (3mm).
Never attempt to install a fastener in a cracked
or spalled area in concrete. Place fastener at least
3" (76 mm) away from a spalled area to prevent the
possibility of the fastener bending and striking an operator
orbystander.
Do not attempt to install fasteners in areas that
have been welded or cut with a torch as these
procedures may have caused local hardening of
thesteel.
Do not fasten through a predrilled hole unless
proper guidance isprovided.
If you decide not to make a fastening after the tool
has been loaded, you must always remove the
powder load first followed by thefastener.
Never attempt to override the safety features of
thistool.
Always keep the handle dry, and free of oil orgrease.
Always check for electrical wiring behind the
surface into which you are driving a fastener before
actuating thetool.
The tool can only be used overhead and must be
used with a
DeWALT
Sniper poletool.
Handling the Tool and Powder Loads
Never leave a loaded tool or the powder loads
unattended. Once the tool is loaded, make the fastening
immediately or unload thetool.
Always unload the tool before work breaks,
changing parts, cleaning or servicing, and
whenstoring.
To prevent accidental discharge of loads, never
carry the powder loads in the same container as the
fasteners or other hardobjects.
Always store the powder loads in the containers
provided or in an enclosure provided for them. Never
intermix the various power levels. Keep them segregated in
clearly identifiedcontainers.
Powder loads should never be used in firearms. They
are normally more powerful than the cartridges supplied
with thefirearms.
Powder‑actuated tools and powder loads should
always be stored under lock and key. Tools must be
unloaded when not inuse.
Store the instruction manual, maintenance tools
and accessories supplied with the nailer in thecase.
Tool Malfunction
In the event that a load fails to discharge after the
tool is depressed, the tool must be kept depressed
against the work surface for a minimum of
30seconds in case of a delayed load discharge. Then
carefully remove the entire load strip and dispose of it in a
can of water or other nonflammable liquid. Never attempt
to force or pry a load out of a toolchamber.
Never discard unfired powder loads into a
trashcontainer.
Do not attempt to unload or disassemble a jammed,
stuck or broken tool as improper handling may
cause it to discharge and strike operator and/or
bystander. A jammed tool must be pointed in a safe
direction at all times. Tag the tool and lock it up. Call your
DeWALT
representative for properassistance.

Fastener Functioning
Prior to learning the safe operating procedures for this
tool, it is important to understand how a powder‑actuated
fastener works. A powder‑actuated fastener is considered
to be a direct drive or forced entry type of fastener because
it is driven directly into the base material. The driving action
causes tremendous forces to be applied to the fastener.
DeWALT
powder‑actuated fasteners are specially designed
and manufactured to withstand the forces imposed during
the driving operation. Only fasteners manufactured or
supplied by
DeWALT
should be used in thistool.
Suitable Base Material
WARNING: Failure to follow the warnings and
instruction may result in severe injury or death to the
tool operator and/orbystanders.
Powder‑actuated fasteners can be used successfully
in concrete, certain masonry materials, and A36 steel,
but some materials are not suitable. Never guess when
fastening into base materials. Fasteners should never be
fired into hard or brittle materials such as cast iron, tile,
glass, or rock. These materials can easily shatter resulting
CAUTION: Be sure to read and understand all of the
safety precautions and training in this manual before
attempting to operate the tool. Check to be sure the
tool is not loaded, the piston moves freely within the
barrel, and no foreign objects or fasteners are in the
barrel. Perform the daily function test before using
thetool.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, remove loads and fasteners before
making any adjustments or removing/installing

in a potential safety hazard. In addition, soft base materials
such as wallboard, plaster, or wood are not suitable as the
fastener can penetrate the material and protrude through
the oppositeside.
Center Punch Test (Fig. B–D)
A center punch test should always be performed to
determine the suitability of the base material for a
powder‑actuated fastening. This test is relatively simple
and can help to insure a safe, successful fastening. Be sure
to wear the appropriate eye protection when performing
this test. To begin, select the fastener to be used for the
job. Then, place the point of the fastener against the
proposed base material. Strike the fastener with a single
hammer blow, then examine the point. If the point of the
fastener is not blunted and the base material has a clear
point indentation, it is acceptable to proceed with the first
test installation. Use of a powder‑actuated system is not
recommended if the following occurs during the center
punch test:
The fastener point has been blunted. This indicates that
the base material is too hard (Fig.B).
The base material cracks or shatters. This indicates that
the base material is too brittle (Fig.C).
When using an average hammer blow, the fastener
penetrates the base material easily. This indicates that
the base material is too soft (Fig.D).

Functioning in Concrete
The performance of a powder‑actuated fastener when
installed into concrete or masonry base materials is based
on the following factors:
Strength of the base material
Hardness and concentration of the aggregate
Shank diameter of the fastener
Depth of embedment into the base material
Fastener spacing and edge distance
In addition to these factors, installation tool accessories such
as a stop spall which reduces the tendency of the concrete
surface to spall during the driving action can increase the
performance of thefastener.
When a powder‑actuated fastener is driven into concrete,
it displaces the volume of concrete around the embedded
area of the fastener shank. As this occurs, the concrete
directly surrounding the fastener is compressed and in turn
presses back against the shank of the fastener. Additionally,
the driving action generates heat which causes particles
within the concrete to fuse to the shank of the fastener. This
combination of compression and fusion holds the fastener
in the concrete base material. A similar action occurs when
fastening into blockmasonry.
Generally, the performance of the fastener in a given
concrete strength will increase with greater embedment
depths in a certain range. Depending on the fastener style
and base material strength, embedment depths range from
5/8" (16mm) to 1‑1/2" (38mm). For depths greater than
this range, there is the possibility of fastener bending or
fishhooking which may decrease expected load capacities
and create a safetyhazard.
During the driving action, some localized surface spalling
of the concrete may occur. Normally, this is a surface effect
which does not effect the performance of the fastener.
However, it may pose an aesthetic problem for exposed
applications where a fixture is not used. In cases such as
this, two methods can be used to improve the appearance
of the fastening. A stop spall adapter mounted on the
powder‑actuated tool can help to reduce surface spalling.
Another method used is to drive the fastener through a
steel washer to improve the appearance of theapplication.
Fastener Installation Requirements
It is important to understand the required minimum base
material thickness requirements along with the minimum
7
ENGLISH
spacing and edge distance requirements. Failure to follow
these requirements can result in an unsuccessful fastening
and create a safetyhazard.
Base Material Thickness (Fig. E)
Concrete base material should be at least three times
as thick as the fastener embedment penetration. If the
concrete is too thin, the compressive forces forming at the
fasteners point can cause the free face of the concrete to
break away. This can create a dangerous condition from
flying concrete and/or the fastener and also results in a
reduction of fastener holding power. For applications in
the face shell of concrete masonry block, select a fastener
length which will not exceed the thickness of the faceshell.

Fastener Penetration Guide
The following table lists typical embedment or penetration
depths expected in the base materials listed. The
penetration will vary depending on the density of the
material. This table should be used as a guide since the
consistency of these materials varies. When in doubt, a job
site performance test should beconducted.

Fastener Length Selection in Concrete
For permanent applications using fasteners in concrete,
first determine the thickness of the fixture to be fastened.
To this, add the required embedment or penetration
into the base material. This will be the fastener shank
lengthrequired.
For applications in the face shell of masonry block, select a
fastener length which will not exceed the thickness of the
faceshell.
For removable applications with threaded studs, the
shank length required is equal to the embedment depth
required. To determine the minimum threaded length, add
the thickness of the fixture and the nut/washer thickness.
The nut and washer thickness is equal to the nominal
threaddiameter.
Do not over tighten threaded parts. Maximum tightening
torque values are listed in the table below. Use of a nut
setter is recommended to reduce the possibility of over
tightening the fasteners. For critical applications, perform a
job sitetest.
Maximum torque for 1/4" stud (Ft.-Lbs.) 2
Maximum torque for 3/8" stud (Ft.-Lbs.) 4
Functioning in Steel
The load performance of a powder‑actuated fastener
when installed into steel base materials is based on the
followingfactors:
Thickness of the steel
Tensile strength of the steel
Shank diameter of the fastener
Depth of point penetration through the steel
Fastener spacing and edgedistance.
ENGLISH
8
When a powder‑actuated fastener is driven into steel, it
displaces the steel laterally 360° around the shank of the
fastener. Since steel is an elastic material, it presses back
against the shank of the fastener to hold it inplace.
As the diameter of the fastener shank is increased, the load
capacity obtained will generally increase provided the steel
thickness is sufficient to accept the fastener. To further
increase fastener performance in steel, some fasteners have
a knurled shank which allows the steel to form a key lock
into the grooves to provide higher capacities than those
obtained with a smooth shank. For optimum performance,
the fastener point should completely penetrate the steel.
Normally, a minimum of 1/4" (6.5mm) is allowed for the
point length. An increase in performance can be expected
until the fastener no longer completely penetrates through
the steel. At this point, the elastic properties of the steel
cause a compression force to be developed at an angle
against the fastener point which reduces load capacity.
In thicker steel base materials, adequate load capacities
may be obtained for applications in which the point of
the fastener does not fully penetrate the steel. Job site
performance tests are recommended. Fasteners should not
be used in areas that have been welded or cut with a torch
as these procedures may have caused local hardening of
the steel. Over driving of the fastener should be avoided as
the rebound created may reduce the load capacity or cause
damage to the fastener. When fastening into unsupported
long steel members, it may be necessary to provide support
in the area of the fastening to prevent spring action which
can cause inconsistent penetration and a reduction in
loadcapacity.
Installation in Steel
The following guidelines are based on the installation of
a fastener in ASTM A 36 structural steel with the point
fully penetrating the steel member. Recommended
steel material thickness ranges from a minimum of 1/8"
(3mm) to a maximum of 3/8" (9.5mm). For use in higher
strength structural steel, applications where the point does
not penetrate the steel member, or a thickness of steel
greater than 3/8" (9.5mm), job site performance tests
arerecommended.
Base Material Thickness
Steel base materials should be a minimum of 1/8" (3mm)
inthickness.
Edge Distance (Fig. H)
For installations in A36 steel, 1/2" (13mm) is the
recommended minimum edgedistance.
Spacing (Fig. H)
The recommended minimum distance between fastenings
is 1‑1/2" (38mm) center to center for installations in ASTM
A36steel.
Fig. H
1-1/2" (38mm)

Fastener Length Selection in Steel
For permanent applications when using fasteners in steel,
first determine the thickness of the fixture to be fastened.
To this, add the thickness of the steel base material plus
a minimum of 1/4" (6.5mm) to allow for proper point
penetration. This will be the minimum fastener shank length
required. Do not select a fastener length longer than that
required for the application. An excessively long shank can
burnish or polish the hole created in the steel resulting in a
reduction in loadcapacity.
For removable applications with threaded studs, the shank
length required is equal to the thickness of the steel base
material plus a minimum of 1/4" (6.5mm) to allow for
proper point penetration. This will be the minimum fastener
shank length required. Do not select a shank length longer
than that required for the application. An excessively long
shank can burnish or polish the hole created in the steel
resulting in a reduction in load capacity. To determine the
minimum threaded length, add the thickness of the fixture
and the nut/washer thickness. The nut and washer thickness
is equal to the nominal threaddiameter.
Do not over tighten threaded studs. Use of a nut setter is
recommended to reduce the possibility of over tightening

Complete Cleaning / General
Maintenance
Heavy or constant exposure to dirt and debris may require
that the tool be cleaned more extensively. Complete
disassembly and cleaning of all parts may be necessary to
restore the tool to normal operation. General maintenance
should be performed every six months or more often if the
tool is subjected to heavy use. Contact your authorized
DeWALT
distributor forassistance.
Clean the tool daily. Always make sure the tool is not loaded
before performing any service or repair and always wear
safety goggles when cleaning or servicing thetool.
Normal Cleaning
All front end parts shown in the disassembly section are
to be cleaned daily with a good detergent oil and wire
brush. Remove all dirt and carbon buildup and wipe parts
dry with a clean rag. Check all parts for wear or damage
before reassembly and replace or repair any worn or
damagedparts.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection when performingthisprocedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non‑metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into aliquid.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, remove loads and fasteners before
making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. An accidental
actuation can causeinjury.
Tool Disassembly (Fig. M–P)
WARNING: Always perform the daily function test
before using the tool and after cleaning orservicing.
1. Unscrew and remove the barrel retention nut. Handle
the tool carefully after the collar is unscrewed to prevent
the two stopper returns from fallingout.
2. Push nose piece forward, hold and remove the two
stopper returns from the slots on either side of the
toolhousing.

Fig. M
3. Slide the piston guide assembly and the return spring
out of the tool body. Note the position of the slots on
the sides of the barrel since the stopper return of the
pawls are inserted into the barrel slots through the tool
housing in re‑assembly.
Fig. N
4. Unscrew the muzzle bushing assembly from the barrel.
If this is difficult to do by hand, grasp the barrel and
use a wrench on the flats of the nose piece assembly to
loosen it for completeremoval.
Fig. O
5. Remove the piston from thebarrel.
7. If you are working in an area where dirt or debris can fall
onto the tool while making fastenings, check the tool
frequently to be sure the muzzle bushing and load strip
track areclear.
Use of Partially Used Load Strips
The design of the 52051 is such that the next load to
be fired is manually indexed into the firing position by
compressing the load strip advancement lever
5
, firing and
tool opening sequence of operation. If it is necessary to use
a partially used load strip, the end of the strip containing
the live loads should be placed into the bottom of the tool
handle just as if it were a new strip. By counting the number
of unfired loads in the strip before inserting it and keeping
count as the fastenings are being made, one can easily
determine when all of the loads have beenused.

AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES
LES DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE
ULTÉRIEUR
Le terme « outil électrique » cité dans les avertissements se
rapporte à votre outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur
(avec fil) ou par piles (sansfil).
1) Sécurité du lieu de travail
a ) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée.
Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont propices
auxaccidents.
b ) Ne pas utiliser les pistolets en atmosphères
explosibles comme en présence de liquides
inflammables, de gaz ou de poussière. Les
pistolets créent des étincelles qui peuvent enflammer
la poussière ou lesvapeurs.
c ) Gardez les enfants et les passants éloignés
lorsque vous utilisez un pistolet. Les distractions
peuvent vous faire perdre lecontrôle.
2) Sécurité personnelle
a ) Demeurez alerte et surveillez ce que vous faites
en faisant preuve de bon sens lorsque vous
utilisez un pistolet. Ne pas utiliser un pistolet
lorsque vous êtes fatigué ou sous l'influence
de drogues, de l'alcool ou de médicaments. Un
moment d’inattention pendant l’utilisation de pistolets
peut entraîner une blessure corporellegrave.
b ) Utiliser un équipement de protection
individuelle. Portez toujours une protection
des yeux. Un équipement protecteur comme un
masque antipoussières, des chaussures de sécurité
antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou une
protection auditive utilisé en conditions appropriées
réduira les blessurescorporelles.
c ) Empêchez l’activation non intentionnelle.
Assurez‑vous de ne pas appuyer sur l’outil ou
que celui‑ci n’est pas coincé avant d’insérer des
fixations ou d’installer des charges explosives.
Transportez les pistolets avec votre doigt sur
la gâchette ou en appuyant sur le nez favorise
lesaccidents.
d ) Retirez tout outil utilisé pour les ajustements

devient chaud, exposant potentiellement l’utilisateur
à des brûlures mineures ou graves et peut mener à
l’obstruction de l’outil.
c ) Ne pas utiliser le pistolet si vous ne pouvez pas
appuyer sur l’outil. Tout pistolet qui ne peut être
contrôlé est dangereux et doit êtreréparé.
d ) Retirez les charges explosives et les fixations
du pistolet avant d’effectuer tout ajustement,
chargement d’accessoires, transport ou
rangement d’outils. Ces mesures de sécurité
préventives réduisent le risque d’activation accidentelle
dupistolet.
e ) Entreposez les pistolets inutilisés hors de portée
des enfants et ne laissez pas les personnes qui
ne connaissent pas le pistolet ou ces instructions
utiliser le pistolet. Les pistolets sont dangereux entre
les mains d’utilisateurs nonformés.
f ) Entretenez les pistolets. Vérifiez si les pièces
en mouvement sont mal alignées ou fixes,
s’il y a des bris des pièces et tout autre état
qui peut affecter l’utilisation du pistolet. S’il
est endommagé, faites réparer le pistolet
avant de l’utiliser. Entretenir le pistolet de façon
appropriée peut aider à éviter un accident qui peut
potentiellement causer une blessure.
g ) Utilisez le pistolet, les accessoires et les barreaux
conformément aux instructions, en tenant
compte de conditions de travail et du travail à
être effectué. Utiliser le pistolet pour des travaux
différents de ceux pour lesquels il a été conçu pourrait
entraîner une situationdangereuse.

toujours être portées par l’utilisateur ou les passants
afin de protéger leurs yeux des particules volantes.
Une protection auditive doit toujours être portée par
l’utilisateur et les passants lorsque vous utilisez un pistolet.
Une autre protection de sécurité personnelle doit aussi être
utilisée aubesoin.
Ne jamais modifier ou fabriquer des pièces pour les
utiliser avec votre outil
DeWALT
. Utilisez seulement des
fixations, des charges et des pièces d’outils
DeWALT
.
Vos mains ou d’autres parties de votre corps ne
doivent jamais être placées à l’avant de la bouche/
du canon. Une décharge accidentelle peut faire en sorte
que le piston et/ou la fixation passent à travers la main
del’utilisateur.
Ne jamais comprimer l’outil contre toute partie du
corps. Une blessure grave ou la mort peut survenir en cas
de déchargeaccidentelle.
Pointez toujours l’outil dans une direction sécuritaire
en touttemps.
Utilisez l’outil seulement aux finsprévues.
Préparation du chargement de l’outil
Les outils doivent être vérifiés avant l’utilisation
afin d’assurer qu’il n'est pas entièrement ou
partiellement chargé avec une charge explosive ou
unefixation.
Activer l’outil avec deux fixations chargées dans le
canon causera des blessures corporellesgraves.
Pour assurer une utilisation sécuritaire, effectuez
le test de fonctionnement quotidien décrit dans ce
guide. Assurez‑vous que l’outil nest pas chargé avant
d’effectuer cetest.
Ne pas utiliser cet outil sans que toutes ses pièces
soient en place et utilisées de façon appropriée.
Ne jamais tenter d’utiliser un outil qui fonctionne mal.
Appelez 1‑800‑4‑
DeWALT
pour de l’aide.
Ne jamais supposer la capacité du matériau de base.
Si vous nêtes pas certain de la capacité du matériau de
base, effectuez un test avec unpointeau.
Ne pas utiliser l’outil jusqu’à ce que vous appreniez
et compreniez le système de codes/nombres de
couleurs utilisé pour identifier le niveau de puissance
des chargesexplosives.
Utiliser l’outil
Utilisez seulement des fixations et des charges
explosives conçues pour cet outil et fournies
par
DeWALT
.
Ne pas utiliser des pistolets en atmosphère
inflammable ouexplosive.
Ne pas tirer avec l’outil sans une fixation. Le piston
touchera la surface de travail causant possiblement une
FRANÇAIS

blessure grave à l’utilisateur ou aux passants en plus
d’endommager l’outil.
Ne pas charger l’outil jusqu’à ce que vous soyez
prêt à faire une fixation. Vérifiez le niveau de charge
explosive avant de l’insérer dans le compartiment de l’outil.
La fixation doit être chargée avant de mettre
la charge explosive afin d’empêcher de
blesser l’utilisateur ou les passants en cas de
déchargeaccidentelle.
Tenez l’outil perpendiculaire à la surface de travail
en tout temps. Utilisez un protecteur contre les éclats
lorsque possible. Cela limitera la possibilité d’un ricochet
des fixations qui pourrait entraîner une blessure grave ou
la mort de l’utilisateur ou despassants.
Effectuez toujours un test de fixation avec le
niveau de charge le plus léger et réglez le niveau de
puissance le bas prévu pour l’utilisation de l’outil. Si
la charge la plus légère n’arrive pas à enfoncer la fixation,
essayez la charge plus élevée suivante jusqu’à ce que
vous atteignez le niveau approprié. Ne pas suivre cette
procédure peut faire en sorte que la fixation sera enfoncée
avec trop de puissance. Si cela se produit, la fixation peut
pénétrer entièrement le matériau de base causant une
blessure grave ou la mort d’une personne. Enfoncer une
fixation avec trop de puissance peut aussi endommager
l’outil, créant un danger pour la sécurité à la fois pour
l’utilisateur ou les passants.
Ne pas fixer dans la fonte, la tuile, le verre ou
d’autres types de matériaux fragiles. Ces matériaux
peuvent voler en éclats et créer des éclats tranchants qui
peuvent causer uneblessure.
Ne pas tirez avec l’outil à moins de 76 mm (3 po) du
bord d’un matériau de base en béton ou à moins
d’un 13 mm (1/2po) du bord d’un matériau de base
enacier.
Ne pas tenter d’installer une fixation plus près
de 3 po (76mm) d’une autre fixation insérée
précédemment dans le béton ou 38 mm (1‑1/2 po)
dans l’acier.
Ne pas fixer dans un matériau de base en béton
moins de 3 fois aussi épais que la pénétration de la
fixation ou dans un matériau de base en acier plus
mince que 3 mm (1/8po).
Ne jamais tenter d’installer une fixation dans une
zone craquée ou effritée du béton. Placez une fixation
à au moins 76 mm (3 po) d’une zone effritée afin de
prévenir la possibilité que la fixation se plie et heurte un
utilisateur ou unpassant.
Ne pas tente d’installer des fixations dans des
zones ayant été soudées ou coupées avec une
torche puisque ces procédures ont pu causer le
durcissement local de l’acier.
Ne pas fixer dans un trou déjà percé à moins d’être
bienencadré.
Si vous décidez de ne pas faire une fixation après
que l’outil ait été chargé, vous devez toujours retirer
d’abord la charge explosive, puis la fixation par
lasuite.
Ne jamais tenter de forcer les dispositifs de sécurité
de cetoutil.
Gardez toujours la poignée sèche, propre et exempte
d’huile ou de graisse.
Vérifiez toujours s’il y a des câbles électriques
derrière la surface dans laquelle vous enfoncez une
fixation avant d’activer l’outil.
L’outil peut seulement être utilisé au plafond et doit
être utilisé avec l’outil à tige
DeWALT
.
Manutention de l’outil et des charges
explosives
Ne jamais laisser un outil chargé ou des charges
explosives sans surveillance. Une fois l’outil chargé,
effectuez immédiatement la fixation ou déchargez l’outil.
Déchargez toujours l’outil avant de faire des pauses,
de changer des pièces, de nettoyer ou de réparer et
lorsque vousentreposez.
Afin de prévenir une décharge accidentelle
des charges, ne jamais transporter les charges
explosives dans le même contenant que les fixations
ou d’autres objetsdurs.
Entreposez toujours les charges explosives dans
les contenants fournis ou dans la boîte fournie
pour celles‑ci. Ne jamais mélanger les divers niveaux
de puissance. Gardez‑les séparées dans des contenants
bienidentifiés.
Les charges explosives ne doivent jamais être
utilisées dans les armes à feu. Elles sont normalement
plus puissantes que les cartouches fournies pour les armes
àfeu.
Les pistolets et les charges explosives doivent
toujours être entreposés sous clé. Les outils doivent
être déchargés s’ils ne sont pasutilisés.
Entreposez le guide d’utilisation, les outils
d’entretien et les accessoires fournis avec la cloueuse
dans leboîtier.
Défaut de fonctionnement de l’outil
Si la charge ne se décharge pas après avoir appuyé
sur l’outil, l’outil doit être maintenu appuyé sur
la surface de travail pendant un minimum de
30secondes en cas de décharge retardée. Puis retirez
soigneusement la bande de charges et jetez‑la dans
un bidon d’eau ou un autre liquide non inflammable.
Ne jamais tenter de forcer ou arracher une charge du
compartiment de l’outil.
Ne jamais jeter des charges explosives non tirées
dans unepoubelle.
Ne pas tenter de décharger ou désassembler un outil
obstrué, coincé ou brisé puisqu’une manutention
inappropriée peut faire en soir qu’il se décharge et
heurte l’utilisateur et/ou un passant. Un outil obstrué
doit être pointé dans une direction sécuritaire en tout
temps. Étiquetez l’outil et verrouillez‑le. Appelez votre
représentant
