repair 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.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac-
cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.

• 

excessive temperature. 

-

perature above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge 

the battery pack or tool outside the temperature

Charging

range may damage the battery and increase the risk

• 

• Always assume that the tool contains fasten-

ers. 

Careless handling of the nailer can result in

• 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 

If the tool is not in

contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be

GHÀHFWHGDZD\IURP\RXUWDUJHW

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 attempt-
ing to free a jammed condition.

 Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical ca-
bles. 

It is not designed for electric cable installation 

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
driving mechanism. This will cause unexpected
actuation, resulting in serious injury.

•Do not engage in horseplay. 

The discharged

fasteners are projectiles capable of causing seri-
ous injury.

•Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause 

the tool operating controls to become inoper-
able.

 This will cause unexpected actuation, resulting

in serious injury.

•Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool

operating controls is inoperable, disconnected,
altered, or not working properly. 

This will cause

unexpected actuation, resulting in serious injury.

WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, 
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other 

construction activities contains chemicals known to 
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive 
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated

lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on 
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such 
as those dust masks that are specially designed to

•Always keep hands and body away from dis-

charge 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 drive fasteners close to the edge of the

workpiece. 

edges or penetrate through thin material, making
them projectiles capable of causing serious injury.

•Use the tool only for the intended purpose. Do

not abuse the tool. 

Do not use as a hammer, stamp

or engrave 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.

• 

 

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is 
damaged or modified. 

Damaged or modified 

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour 
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

Always use common sense and be cautious 
when using tools. It is not possible to 
anticipate every situation that could result in a 
dangerous outcome.
