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 cutting 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:
Discharged fastener may follow unexpected path
and cause injury.
•
Refer to the
Maintenance
and
Repairs
sections for
detailed information on the proper maintenance of
the tool.
•
Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area.
Be sure the work surface is clear of any debris and be
careful not to lose footing when working in elevated
environments such as rooftops.
•
Do not drive fastener near edge of material.
The
workpiece may split causing the nail to ricochet, injuring
you or a co‑worker. Be aware that the fastener may follow
the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude
unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the
chisel point of the fastener perpendicular to the grain to
reduce risk of injury.
•
Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners
or with the tool at too steep an angle.
Personal injury
from strong recoil jammed nails, or ricocheted nails
may result.
•
Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area.
Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to
keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the
workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer
against the material. The contact trip may cause the work
material to shift unexpectedly.
•
Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust,
gases or fumes.
The tool may produce a spark that could
ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail
may also cause a spark.
•
Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool
cap when working in restricted areas.
Sudden recoil
can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing
into hard or dense material.
•
Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing
tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener
is driven.
In Bump mode if contact trip is allowed to
recontact work surface before trigger is released an
unwanted fastener will be fired.
•
Choice of triggering method is important.
Check the
manual for triggering options.
•
Keep hands and body parts away from the discharge
area of the tool.
While in use NEVER grasp the tool by the
magazine or canister, a mis‑driven nail can exit the nose
causing injury.
•
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
•
Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation
material, or dust which could harm operator’s
eyes.
Operator and others in work area MUST wear
safety glasses with side shields. These safety glasses
must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved
glasses have “Z87” printed or stamped on them. It is
the employer’s responsibility to enforce the use of eye
protection equipment by the tool operator and other
people in the work area.
•
Always wear appropriate personal hearing and
other protection during use.
Under some conditions
and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
•
Disconnect battery pack from the tool when not in
use.
Always remove battery pack and remove fasteners
from magazine before leaving the area or passing the
tool to another operator. Do not carry tool to another
work area in which changing location involves the use
of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like, with battery
pack connected. Do not make adjustments, perform
maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while battery is
in place.
•
Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the
tool, trigger or trigger lock‑off,
to become inoperable.
Do not tape or tie trigger in the on position. Do not remove
spring from contact trip. Make daily inspections for free
movement of trigger. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
•
Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if any
portion of the tool, trigger, or trigger lock‑off is
inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working
properly.
Damaged parts or missing parts should be
repaired or replaced before use. Refer to
Repairs
.
•
Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
•
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
•
Do not point the tool at co‑workers or yourself at
any time.
No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a
working implement.
•
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in
a safe place, out of the reach of children.
•
Do not overreach.
Maintain proper footing and balance
at all times. Loss of balance may cause personal injury.
•
Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not
discharge fasteners into open air, concrete, stone,
extremely hard woods, knots or any material
too hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do not
use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer.
