Additional Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS
use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
magazine before leaving the area or passing the tool
to another operator. Do not carry tool to another work
area in which changing location involves the use of
scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like, with battery
pack connected. Do not make adjustments, perform
maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while battery is
in place.
•
Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause
the tool, trigger, trigger lock-off, or contact trip
to
become inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger or contact
trip in the ON position. Do not remove spring from contact
trip. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger
and contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
•
Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if
any portion of the tool, trigger, trigger lock-off, or
contact trip is inoperable, disconnected, altered,
or not working properly.
Damaged parts or missing
parts should be repaired or replaced before use. Refer
to
Repairs
.
•
Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
•
Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at
any time.
No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a
working implement.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in a
safe place, out of the reach of children.
•
Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the
trigger.
Accidental discharge could result.
•
Always use trigger lock-off when tool is not in
immediate use. Using the trigger lock-off will
prevent accidental discharge.
•
Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and
balance at all times
. Loss of balance may cause
personal injury.
• Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge
fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard
woods, knots or any material too hard for the fastener to
penetrate. Do not use the body of the tool or top cap as
a hammer. Discharged fasteners may follow unexpected
path and cause injury.
•
Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent
injury from inadvertent release of the pusher.
•
Refer to the
Maintenance
and
Repairs
sections for
detailed information on the proper maintenance of
the tool.
•
Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area.
Be sure the work surface is clear of any debris and be
careful not to lose footing when working in elevated
environments such as rooftops.
•
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material.
The
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,
injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail
may follow the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to
protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material.
Drive the chisel point of the nail perpendicular to the grain
to reduce risk of injury.
•
Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners
or with the tool at too steep an angle.
Personal injury
from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted nails
may result.
•
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 nailer
against the material. The contact trip may cause the work
material to shift unexpectedly.
•
Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust,
gases or fumes.
The tool may produce a spark that could
ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail
may also cause a spark.
•
Keep face and body 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.
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to
recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven.
•
Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other
work areas.
Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result
in injury.
•
Be aware of material thickness when using nailer.
A
protruding nail may cause injury.
•
Depth adjustment: To reduce risk of serious injury
from accidental actuation when attempting to
adjust depth, ALWAYS;
ʵ Remove battery pack.
ʵ Engage trigger lock.
ʵ Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
