OPERATION SAFETY
LOADING TOOL
Do not place battery tools or their
batteries near fire or heat.
This will reduce
the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery
pack.
Do not use a battery pack or charger
that has been dropped or received a sharp
blow. A damaged battery is subject to
explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or
damaged battery immediately.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a
source of ignition, such as a pilot light.
To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
never use any cordless product in the
presence of open flame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed,
flush with water immediately.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or
wet location.
Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock.
For best results, your battery tool should
be charged in a location where the
temperature is more than 50°F but less
than 100°F.
Do not store outside or in
vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature
conditions, battery leakage may occur.
If
liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash
immediately with soap and water. If liquid
gets into your eyes, flush them with clean
water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
Use the tool only for its intended use.
Do
not discharge fasteners into open air.
Use only the nails recommended for this
tool.
Use of the wrong nails could result in
poor nail feeding, jammed nails, and nails
leaving the tool at erratic angles. If nails are
not feeding smoothly and properly, discontin-
ue their use immediately. Jammed and
improperly feeding nails could result in
serious personal injury.
Never use this tool in a manner that could
cause a nail to be directed toward
anything other than the workpiece.
Do not use the tool as a hammer.
Always carry the tool by the handle.
Do not alter or modify this tool from the
original design or function without
approval from the manufacturer.

Be aware that misuse and improper
handling of this tool can cause injury to
yourself and others.
Never clamp or tape the trigger or
workpiece contact in an actuated
position.
Never leave tool unattended if the battery
is installed.
Do not operate this tool if it does not
contain a legible warning label.
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Always use a
clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
or any strong solvents to clean your tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss
of control and deterioration of the enclosure
plastic.
•
Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate
properly.
Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the trigger is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Check operation of the workpiece
contact mechanism frequently.
Do not use
the tool if the workpiece contact mechanism
is not working correctly as accidental driving
of a nail may result. Do not interfere with the
proper operation of the workpiece contact
mechanism.
Always assume that the tool contains
nails.
Do not carry the tool from place to place
holding the trigger.
Accidental discharge
could result.
Always handle the tool with care:
Choice of triggering method is important.
Check manual for triggering options.
Do not hold the tool by the bottom of the
magazine.
Do not put hands, head, or other
parts of your body near the bottom of the
magazine where the nail exits the tool, as
serious personal injury could result.

Do not point the tool toward yourself or
anyone whether it contains nails or not.
Do not actuate the tool unless you intend
to drive a nail into the workpiece.
Always ensure that the workpiece contact
is fully positioned above the workpiece.
Positioning the workpiece contact only
partially above the workpiece could cause
the nail to miss the workpiece completely
and result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive nails near edge of material.
The workpiece may split causing the nail to
ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be
aware that the nail may follow the grain of
the wood, causing it to protrude unexpect-
edly from the side of the work material or
deflect, possibly causing injury.
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 fastener against the material.
The workpiece contact may cause the work
material to shift unexpectedly.
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.
During normal use the tool will recoil
immediately after driving a fastener.
This
is a normal function of the tool. Do not
attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the
nailer against the work. Restriction to the
recoil can result in a second fastener being
driven from the nailer. Failure to heed this
warning can result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other
fasteners or with the tool at an overly
steep angle as this may cause deflection
of fasteners which could cause injury.
•
Do not load the tool with fasteners when
any one of the operating controls is
activated.
Never place a hand or any part of body in
fastener discharge area of tool.
Never point tool at anyone.
Do not pull the trigger or depress the
workpiece contact as accidental actua-
tion may occur, possibly causing injury.

:
Do not allow familiarity with products to
make you careless. Remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient
to inflict severe injury.
