NAILER SAFETY
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelery.
Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be drawn into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable
support.
Stable footing on a solid surface
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Do not force the power tool.
Use the
correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
can not turn it on and off.
Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, 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 misalign-
ment or binding 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 maintained 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, considering 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.
POWER TOOL CARE AND USE
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
SERVICE
•
•
•
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 battery 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, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
•
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.

Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners.
Careless handling of the nailer
can result in unexpected firing of fasteners
and personal injury.
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 firmly against the workpiece.
If the
tool is not in contact 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 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 attempting to free
a jammed condition.
Do not use this nailer 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 nail may contact hidden wiring.
Nails 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 carefully. 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.
Keep fingers away from trigger when not
driving fasteners to avoid accidental firing.
Use safety equipment.
Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.
Protect your lungs.
Wear a face or dust
mask if the operation is dusty. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
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.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury. Eye protection which
conforms to ANSI specifications and
provides protection against flying particles
both from the FRONT and SIDE should
ALWAYS be worn by the operator and
others in the work area when loading,
operating or servicing this tool. Eye
protection is required to guard against flying
fasteners and debris, which could cause
severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure
that proper eye protection is worn.
We
recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use
over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses
that provide protection against flying
particles both from the front and side.
Always use eye protection which is marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Additional safety protection will be
required in some environments.
For
example, the working area may include
exposure to noise level which can lead to
hearing damage. The employer and user
must ensure that any necessary hearing
protection is provided and used by the
operator and others in the work area. Some
environments will require the use of head
protection equipment. When required, the
employer and user must ensure that head
protection conforming to ANSI Z89.1-1997 is
used.
Protect your hearing.
Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of
operation. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged
into an electrical outlet; therefore, they
are always in operating condition.
Be
aware of possible hazards when not using
your battery tool or when changing accesso-
ries. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal
injury.
