DO NOT fire if the nails/staples are jammed.
This will cause
damage to the driver blade and could invite accidents.
•
Keep fingers off the trigger
until ready to drive staple/nail.
•
DO NOT use on hard surfaces
such as rock, concrete, masonry, bricks
or steel. Personal injury or damage to the power tool could result.
•
Secure work.
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the work piece to a stable platform.
•
Stored power tools.
When not in use, all power tools should be
stored in a dry, locked cupboard and out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons.
•
Check for damaged parts.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tools operation. If damaged, immediately discontinue use
and ensure the power tool is repaired before use. Poorly maintained
power tools can result in accidents.
•
Maintain power tools with care.
Keep power tools sharp and clean
for the best and safest performance. All cables must be checked at
regular intervals and replaced if damaged.
•
Recommended accessories.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on
another tool.
•
Keep the power tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong
solvents to clean your power tool.

Beware of hidden danger.
Always make sure there is no danger of
hitting any hidden power cables, water or gas pipes.
Specific Safety Instructions
•
Use only the nails/staples specified in the manual.
•
Do not touch any parts of the power tool magazine or nose
during operation.
Hold only by the handle or housing of the tool.
•
Do not activate the power tool unless it is in contact with the
work piece.
•
Fastening thin items.
Special caution must be taken for possible
penetration through thin items, as this could cause possible harm to
anyone or anything behind the work piece or immediate area.
•
Never use the tool as a hammer.
The sudden impact could shift inner
components of the power tool, resulting in a fastener discharge and injury.
•
Always unload the magazine
when fastening has been completed
and disconnect from the power source.
Personal Safety
•
Stay alert.
Always watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired or under the
influence of medication, alcohol or drugs.
•
Wear proper clothing.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that
can catch in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended.
Contain long hair. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
•
Avoid accidental starting.
Make sure the switch is in the locked or
off position before plugging the machine into the power supply.
•
Do not overreach or use on unstable surfaces.
•
Use safety equipment.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Wear
CE approved safety goggles at all times. Normal spectacles only have
impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
Electrical Safety
•
Disconnect power to the tool.
When not in use, before servicing or
when changing accessories such as nails, etc.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
•
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)

When working with power
tools, avoid contact with any earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, hobs and refrigerators.
•
Do not abuse the cord.
Never carry the power tool by the power
cable or yank it from the socket. Keep the power cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
may create a fire or increase the risk of electric shock.
