SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and
all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Cordless stapler safety warnings
1.
Always assume that the tool contains fasten-
ers.
Careless handling of the stapler can result in
unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.
2.
Do not point the tool towards yourself or any-
one nearby.
Unexpected triggering will discharge
the fastener causing an injury.
3.
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.
4.
Disconnect the tool from the power source
when the fastener jams in the tool.
While
removing a jammed fastener, the stapler may be
accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
5.
Use caution while removing a jammed fas-
tener.
The mechanism may be under compression
and the fastener may be forcefully discharged
while attempting to free a jammed condition.
6.
Do not use this stapler for fastening electrical
cables.
It is not designed for electric cable installa
-
tion and may damage the insulation of electric cables
thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.
7.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shield, and a full face shield when
needed.
8.
Keep hands and feet away from the ejection
port area.
9.
Always remove the battery cartridge before
loading the fasteners, adjustment, inspection,
maintenance or after operation is over.
10.
Make sure no one is nearby before operation.
Never attempt to drive fasteners from both the
inside and outside of wall at the same time.
Fasteners may rip through and/or fly off, pre
-
senting a grave danger.
11.
Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
when working in high locations.
12.
Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and
the like carefully to avoid possible electrical
shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by
stapling into live wires, conduits or gas pipes.
13.
Use only fasteners specified in this manual.
The use of any other fasteners may cause
malfunction of the tool.
14.
Do not tamper with the tool or attempt to use it
for other than driving fasteners.
15.
Do not operate the tool without fasteners. It
shortens the service life of the tool.
16.
Stop driving operations immediately if you
notice something wrong or out of the ordinary
with the tool.
17.
Never fasten into any materials which may
allow the fastener to puncture and fly through
as a projectile.
18.
Never actuate the switch trigger and contact
element until you are prepared to fasten work-
pieces. Never defeat its purpose by securing
the contact element back or by depressing it
by hand.
19.
Never tamper with the contact element. Check
the contact element frequently for proper
operations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.
