either eye protection or a wide vision
mask over prescription glasses.
Employers should always enforce the
use of eye protection equipment.
Protect your ears and head. When
2.9
engaged in nailing work please wear ear
mufflers and head protection. Also,
depending on condition, ensure that
surrounding people also wear ear muf-
flers and head protection.
Pay attention to those working close to
2.10
you. It would be very dangerous if nails
that were not properly driven in should
hit other people. Therefore, always pay
attention to the safety of the people
around you when using this tool. Always
make sure that nobody's body, hands or
feet are close to the nail outlet.
Never point the nail outlet towards peo-
2.11
ple. Always assume the tool contains
fasteners. If the nail outlet is pointed
towards people, serious accidents may
be caused if you mistakenly discharge
the tool. When connecting and discon-
necting the battery, during nail loading
or similar operations, be sure the nail
outlet is not pointed towards anyone
(including yourself). Even when no nails
are loaded at all, it is dangerous to dis-
charge the tool while pointing it at
someone, so never attempt to do so. No
horseplay. Respect the tool as a work-
ing implement.
Check push lever before use. Make sure
2.12
the push lever operates properly. (The
push lever may be called "Safety".)
Never use the Nailer unless the push
lever is operating properly, otherwise
the Nailer could drive a fastener unex-
pectedly. Do not tamper with or remove
the push lever, otherwise the push lever
becomes inoperable.
Be careful when connecting the battery.
2.13
When connecting the battery and load-
ing nails in order not to fire the tool by
mistake, make sure of the followings.
• Do not touch the trigger.
• Do not allow the firing head to contact
with any surface.

• Keep the firing head down. Strictly
observe the above instructions, and
always make sure that no part of the
body, hands or legs is ever in front of
the nail outlet.
Do not carelessly place your finger on
2.14
the trigger. Do not place your finger on
the trigger except when actually nailing.
If you carry this tool or hand it to some-
one while having your finger on the
trigger, you may inadvertently discharge
a nail and thus cause an accident.
Press the nail outlet firmly against the
2.15
material to be nailed. When driving in
nails, press the nail outlet firmly against
the material to be nailed. If the outlet is
not applied properly, the nails may
rebound.
Keep hands and feet away from the
2.16
firing head when using. It is very dan-
gerous for a nail to hit the hands or feet
by mistake.
Beware of the tool's kickback. Do not
2.17
approach the top of the tool with your
head etc. during operation. This is dan-
gerous because the tool may recoil
violently if the nail currently being driven
in comes into contact with a previous
nail or a knot in the wood.
Be careful of double fire due to recoil. If
2.18
the push lever is unintentionally allowed
to re-contact the workpiece following
recoil, an unwanted fastener will be
driven. In order to avoid this undesirable
double fire:
a. Intermittent operation (Trigger firing)
• Set the switching device to FULL
SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION
MECHANISM.
• Pull the trigger rapidly and firmly.
b. Continuous operation (Push lever firing)
• Do not press the nailer against the
wood with excessive force.
• Separate the nailer from the wood as it
recoils after fastening.
Take care when nailing thin boards or
2.19
the corners of wood. When nailing thin
boards, the nails may pass right
through, as may also be the case when
nailing the corners of wood due to devi-
