SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 5
Do not fire fasteners into walls or floors with-
out assuring the area on the opposite side is
clear. A fastener could travel through the work
surface, causing property damage or injury.
Do not drive fasteners into walls, floors, or
other work areas without knowing what may
be damaged by the driven fastener. Fasteners
driven into live electrical wires, plumbing, gas
piping, or other types of obstructions can result
in electrocution, explosion, personal injury and/
or property damage.
Hold the power tool by identified insulated grip-
ping surfaces when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
result in electric shock or electrocution.
Do not tamper with, remove, or cause nailer
operating controls to become inoperable.
Missing or improperly operating nailer controls
can cause unexpected actuation and personal
injury.
Never keep a finger on the trigger when not
driving fasteners or carrying the tool. Carry the
tool only by the handle. Keeping a finger on the
trigger when carrying the tool, or when not driv-
ing fasteners can result in unintentional trigger-
ing and personal injury.
a. Always assume that the tool contains fas-
teners. Careless handling of the tool can
result in unexpected firing of fasteners and
personal injury.
b. Do not point the tool towards yourself or
anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will
discharge the fastener causing an injury.
c. 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
workpiece.
d. Disconnect 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.
e. Use caution while removing a jammed fas-
tener. The mechanism may be under com-
pression and the fastener may be force-
fully discharged while attempting to free a
jammed condition.
f. When fastening electrical cables, make
sure the cables are not energized. Hold the
tacker only by insulated gripping surfaces.
Use only fasteners designed for electrical
cable installations. Inspect that the fasten-
er has not damaged the insulation of the
electrical cables. A fastener that damages
the insulation of electric cables can lead to
electric shock and fire hazards.
Safety Warnings for Cordless Nailer Tools
Additional Safety Warnings
When loading fasteners ensure that the fasten-
er heads align with the nosepiece of the tool.
If fasteners are not aligned with the nosepiece,
tool may jam or misfire causing property dam-
age or injury.
Use only the fasteners meeting the criteria list-
ed in the “Specification” section of this manu-
al. Fasteners not identified for use with this tool
can cause the tool to malfunction and result in
the risk of injury and/or tool damage.
Keep hands and feet at least 8 inches (200mm)
away from the nosepiece of the tool during
use. Fasteners may deflect and cause property
damage or personal injury.
Do not drive a fastener on top of another fas-
tener. This could cause the fastener to be de-
flected or the tool to react in an unexpected
manner causing injury.
Do not engage in horseplay. The discharged fas-
teners are projectiles capable of causing serious
injury.
Never actuate the nailer unless it is perpen-
dicular to the workpiece surface and the work-
piece surface is free of debris. The fastener
may be deflected if the nailer is not in proper
contact with the workpiece resulting in property
damage or personal injury.
