NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS
 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.
 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
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
 Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
 Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
 Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products
in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F
or more than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water.
If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean
water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate
medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
 Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge
fasteners into open air.
 Use the tool only for the purpose for which it was
designed.
 Use only the fasteners recommended for this tool.
Use of the wrong fasteners could result in poor fastener
feeding, jammed fasteners, and nails leaving the tool at
erratic angles. If fasteners are not feeding smoothly and
properly, discontinue their use immediately. Jammed
and improperly feeding fasteners could result in serious
personal injury.
 Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a
fastener to be directed toward anything other than
the workpiece.
 Do not use the tool as a hammer.
 Always carry the tool by the handle.
 Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design
or function without approval from the manufacturer.
 Always be aware that misuse and improper handling
of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.
 Never clamp or tape the trigger or workpiece contact
in an actuated position.
 Never leave tool unattended if the battery is installed.
 Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible
warning label.
OPERATION
 Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate properly.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the trigger is
dangerous and must be repaired.
 Check operation of the workpiece contact mechanism
frequently. Do not use the tool if the workpiece contact
mechanism is not working correctly as accidental driving
of a fastener may result. Do not interfere with the proper
operation of the workpiece contact mechanism.
 Do not use a tool that does not work correctly.
 Always assume that the tool contains nails.
 Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the
trigger. Accidental discharge could result.
 Always handle the tool with care:
• Respect the tool as a working implement.
• Never engage in horseplay.
• Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed toward
the work.
• Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool
is in operation as accidental actuation may occur,
possibly causing injury.
