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.
Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•
Protect yourself from electric shock.
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 charger by the power cable
or pull it with force 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.
Power Tool Use and Care
•
Do not force the power tool.
Use the correct power tool for your
application. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
•
Disconnect the tool from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing the power tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
•
Do not alter or misuse the power tool.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
•
DO NOT fire if the nails are jammed.
This will cause damage to the
driver blade and could invite accidents.
•
Keep fingers off the trigger

•
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. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•
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 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. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of loss of control and deterioration of the power tool housing.
•
Beware of hidden danger.
Always make sure there is no danger of
hitting any hidden power cables, water or gas pipes.
Battery Tool Use and Care
•
Only use the battery recharger specified by the manufacturer.
Use of the wrong battery pack with the charger may create the risk
of a fire.
•
Use battery packs specified for the correct tool only.
Use of the
wrong battery pack with the tool may create the risk of injury or fire.
•
Keep away from other metal objects such as keys, coins, nails,
screws, paper clips etc., when battery pack is not in use.
Small
metal objects like those listed above could make a connection across
the terminals. Shorting the battery terminals together and may cause
a fire.
•
Liquid may leak from the battery under abusive conditions.
Avoid contact.
If skin should accidentally come into contact with
liquid, flush with water. If liquid should come into contact with eyes
seek additional medical help. Liquid ejected from damaged battery
may cause irritation or burns.
