person using only identical replacement parts. 

This

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

• Never  service  damaged  battery  packs. 

Service

of  battery  packs  should  only  be  performed  by  the

manufacturer or authorised service providers.

• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.

Careless handling of the nailer can result in unexpected 

• Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone

nearby. 

Unexpected triggering will discharge the fas-

tener causing an injury.

• Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed

If the tool is not in con-

tact with the workpiece, the fastener may be 

deflected

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 acti-

vated 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 installa-

tion and may damage the insulation of electric cables

Prior to each use, check workpiece contact and

trigger for correct operation.

 Do not disassemble or 

clamp parts of the workpiece contact, trigger, or driv-

ing mechanism. This will cause unexpected actuation,

resulting in serious injury.

Do not engage in horseplay. 

The discharged fasten-

ers are projectiles capable of causing serious injury.

Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the 

tool operating controls to become inoperable.

 This will

cause unexpected actuation, resulting in serious injury.

Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool oper-

ating controls is inoperable, disconnected, altered,

or not working properly. 

This will cause unexpected 

actuation, resulting in serious injury.

Always keep hands and body away from discharge

area of the tool. 

Never attempt to clear a jammed

workpiece contact by grasping the discharge area of

the tool. Fasteners discharged from tool can cause

serious injury if they contact hands or body.

Do not use as a hammer, stamp or en-

grave information onto parts, drop or impact the tool or 

otherwise apply excess force to the tool in use. Do not

mount the tool to stands or modify it for stationary use.
