d. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from 

other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, 

nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can 

make a connection from one terminal to another

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause  

burns or a fire.

e. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 

from the battery; avoid contact.

occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, 

additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from  

the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 

person using only identical replacement parts.

 This 

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional safety rules for cordless nailers

1. Use only the nail types indicated in this manual.  

Use of accessories that are not designed for this tool 

could result in personal injury and / or damage to the tool.

2. Do not touch metal parts of tool during operation.  

Hold only the handle or housing of the tool.

3. Do not activate the trigger switch unless the nail is in 

contact with the workpiece. Serious injury can result  

from improper operation.

4. The tool should only be used for the purpose it was 

designed as outlined in this manual. Do not use it on  

hard surfaces like rock or concrete. Personal injury or 

damage to the tool could result.

5. Take care when nailing thin material. Special caution 

must be taken for possible penetration of nails through 

thin material. This could cause harm to anyone behind 

the workpiece or in the immediate area.

6. Do not overheat the tool. During operation, the nailer 

may feel warm to the touch. This is normal. However, if 

the nailer starts to feel hot, discontinue use until the unit 

cools down.

7. Remove the battery pack from the nailer when it is not in 

use, before cleaning and during maintenance operations.

WARNING. 

Before connecting the charger to a power 

source (power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that 

the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the 

nameplate. A power source with a voltage greater than that 

specified for the charger can result in serious injury to the 

user, as well as damage to the battery pack. If in doubt, do 

not plug in the charger.

  Your cordless tool is not charged when purchased.  

Be sure to charge the unit fully, approximately 1 hour,  

prior to initial use.

  A battery stored, used or charged under high temperature 

conditions will deteriorate more quickly.

The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. 

Any use other than those mentioned in this manual will 

be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the 

manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury  

resulting from such cases of misuse.
To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety 

regulations, the assembly instructions and the operating 

instructions to be found in this manual. All persons who use 

and service the machine have to be acquainted with this 

manual and must be informed about its potential hazards. 

Children and infirm people must not use this tool. Children 

should be supervised at all times if they are in the area in 

which the tool is being used. It is also imperative that you 

observe the accident prevention regulations in force in your 

area. The same applies for general rules of occupational 

health and safety.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made 

to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to 

eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may 

arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
1. Damage to hearing if ear protection is not worn.
2. Injury from nails if the safety instructions are  

not followed.
