 WARNING  Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations 

and specifi cations provided with this power tool.

 Failure to follow 

all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or 

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

 

CORDLESS NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS

Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. 

Careless handling 

of the nailer can result in unexpected fi ring of fasteners and personal 

injury.

Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. 

Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener causing an injury.

Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed fi rmly against the 

workpiece. 

If the tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener 

may be defl ected away from your target.

Disconnect the tool from the power source when the fastener 

jams in the tool. 

While removing a jammed fastener, the nailer may 

be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.

Use caution while removing a jammed fastener.

 The mechanism 

may be under compression and the fastener may be forcefully 

discharged while attempting to free a jammed condition.

Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical cables.

 It is not 

designed for electric cable installation and may damage the insulation 

of electric cables thereby causing electric shock or fi re hazards.

Wear ear protectors.

 Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing 

an operation where the nail may contact hidden wiring. 

Nails 

contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power 

tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Always wear eye protection with side shields.

 Everyday glasses 

have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. 

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Eye protection provides protection against flying particles both 

from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the 

operator and others in the work area when loading, operating or 

servicing this tool

. Eye protection is required to guard against flying 

fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
Always remove the battery before adjusting the depth of drive wheel.

Do not pull back on the adjustment wheel, the wheel is designed to be 

rotated.

Do not press the trigger while adjusting the depth of drive wheel.

Always select full sequential fi ring mode before adjusting the depth of 

drive.

Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby when 

adjusting the depth of drive.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of this tool can 

cause injury to yourself and others.
The tool is designed for single-hand use. Do not hold the tool by the 

front 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 be caused.
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 coworker. Be aware that 

the nail may follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude 

unexpectedly from the side of the work material or defl ect, 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 

WARNING

The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745 

and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for diff erent applications, 

with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase the exposure level over 

the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off  or when it is 

running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration and noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, 

keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

ENGLISH

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. Grip 

the handle fi rmly, let the tool do the work and do not place second 

hand on top of tool or near exhaust at any time. 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 defl ection of fasteners which 

could cause injury.
Always check the work area for hidden wiring, gas lines, water lines, 

etc., before using the product on such work area.
After using the product in the contact actuation mode, switch it back to 

the full sequential mode.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted beyond air pressure. It is 

advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine the 

required depth for the application.
Only fasteners matching the description in the Technical Data can be 

used with this tool. Using incorrect fasteners may lead to jamming or 

other malfunctions.
Do not select contact actuation mode when working on scaff olds, 

ladders or platforms where you may need to move your body position. 

You may unintentionally fi re a nail by inadvertent activation of the 

workpiece contact while moving about if the contact actuation mode is 

selected. When moving positions, select full sequential activation or 

deactivate the product completely by removing the battery pack. This 

will reduce the potential for injury to yourself and others.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by 

burning them. Milwaukee Distributors off er to retrieve old batteries to 

protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit 

risk).
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the 

charger (short circuit risk).
Use only 18 V chargers for charging 18 V battery packs. Do not use 

battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry 

rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or 

extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash it off  

immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse 

thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical 

attention.

Warning! 

To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product 

damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or 

charger in fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow inside them. Corrosive or 

conductive fl uids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and 

bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
