GAS-ACTUATED FASTENING Minimize injuries by taking advantage of gas- actuated tool training programs provided by tool manufacturers and user safety awareness. • Only those trained in the use of gas-actuated fastening tools (or under direct supervision by a trained operator) should use this equipment • Hold the setting tool only by the insulated grip when working in areas where fasteners may be driven inadvertently into concealed electrical cables • Before driving fasteners, check there is no risk of injuring anyone or of damaging objects present behind or below the working surface TOOL TETHERS Tool tethers are a simple and effective way to help prevent injuries or even fatalities from dropped tools. The following must be considered when selecting the correct tethering setup: • The weight of the tool — including batteries, accessories, inserts, etc. — to be tethered. Check the weight capacity on the tether tag to ensure the capacity of the tether will not be exceeded • Ensure there is a solid point on the tool where the tether can be firmly attached, and attach the tether
