GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.

Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.

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.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE

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.

When servicing a power tool, use only identical re-
placement parts. Follow instructions in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create
a risk of shock or injury.

Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Care-
less handling of the stapler can result in unexpected firing
of staples and personal injury
.

Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby.
Unexpected triggering will discharge the staple
causing an injury.

Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
against the workpiece.
If the tool is not in contact with
the workpiece, the staple 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 tacker may be accidentally activated if it is
plugged in.

Use caution while removing a jammed staple. The
mechanism may be under compression and the staple
may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a
jammed condition.

Do not use this tool 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 fire hazards.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the fastener may con-
tact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.

Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as
the specific potential hazards related to this power
tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Everyday glasses have only
impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Fol-
lowing this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
