WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions in this manual and in the battery charger
operating instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury. The following hazards can result in serious injuries.
Stapling tool safety warnings:
Always assume that the tool contains staples.
Careless handling of the stapling tool can
result in unexpected firing of staples and personal injury.
Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby.
Unexpected triggering will dis-
charge 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 staple jams in the tool.
While remov-
ing a jammed staple, the stapling tool may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
Use caution while removing a jammed staple. T
he 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.
Danger of jamming and crushing.
Do not place hands or other body parts between or under
the tool and the packaged goods during the stapling process.
Loose and falling packaged goods in the case of faulty stapling.
Check the staple seal. Never transport packaged goods if loads look unbalanced or incorrect.
Risk of explosion in EX (Explosive) zones.
The tool must not be used in areas where explo-
sions can occur as a result of the environment or products being used.
Damage due to humidity.
Do not clean the tool with water or steam. When using the tool
outdoors, protect it from rain. If the tool or the battery has water damage, it can cause fire or
explosion.
Compressed air for cleaning work, risk of injury.
When cleaning with compressed air, no air
must penetrate the body via skin lesions. Use only clean and dry compressed air. Use a blow
gun with a multi-hole nozzle. Wear eye protection.
