GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
„ D isconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
„ S tore idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
„ M aintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
„ K eep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
„ U se the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
„ K eep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
„ R echarge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS
„ A lways assume that the tool contains nails. Careless
handling of the nailer can result in unexpected firing of
nails and personal injury.
„ D o not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the nail
causing an injury.
„ D o not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
against the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with
the workpiece, the nail may be deflected away from your
target.
„ U se power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
„ W hen battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
„ U nder abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
„ D o not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
„ D o not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or exces-
sive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
265° F may cause explosion.
„ F ollow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
SERVICE
„ H ave your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
„ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-
tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
„ D isconnect the tool from the power source when the
fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed
fastener, the nailer may be accidentally activated if it is
plugged in.
„ U se caution while removing a jammed nail. The
mechanism may be under compression and the nail
may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a
jammed condition.
„ D o not use this nailer 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.
