Stapler Safety Warnings
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
Careless handling of the stapler can result in unexpected firing
of fasteners and personalinjury.
• Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge a fastener
causing aninjury.
• 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target.
• Disconnect the tool from the power source when
the fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed
fastener, the tacker may be accidentally activated if it is
pluggedin.
• Do not use this stapler 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.
Additional Stapler Safety Warnings

WARNING: When using any stapler, all safety
precautions, as outlined below, should be followed to avoid
the risk of death or serious injury. Read and understand all
instructions before operating thetool.

WARNING: NEVER spray or in any other way apply
lubricants or cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can
seriously affect the life and performance of thetool.

WARNING: if the tool has been dropped or you suspect
tool damage perform tool operation check as defined in the
mode selection section of the manual. If it doesn’t perform
according to the manual, stop using the tool and have it
serviced at an authorized DeWALT service center.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where driven fastners may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock theoperator.
• Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation
material, or dust which could harm operator’s eyes.
Operator and others in work area MUST wear safety
glasses with side shields. These safety glasses must conform
to ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved glasses have “Z87”
printed or stamped on them. It is the employer’s responsibility
to enforce the use of eye protection equipment by the tool
operator and other people in the workarea.
• Always wear appropriate personal hearing and other
protection during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearingloss.
• Disconnect battery pack from the tool when not in
use. Always remove battery pack and remove fasteners
from magazine before leaving the area or passing the tool
to another operator. Do not carry tool to another work area
in which changing location involves the use of scaffoldings,
stairs, ladders, and the like, with battery pack connected. Do
not make adjustments, perform maintenance or clear jammed
fasteners while battery is inplace.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the
tool, trigger, trigger lock-off, or contact trip to become
inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip in the
ON position. Do not remove spring from contact trip. Make
daily inspections for free movement of trigger and contact trip.
Uncontrolled discharge couldresult.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if any
portion of the tool, trigger, trigger lock-off, or contact
trip is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working
properly. Damaged parts or missing parts should be repaired
or replaced before use. Refer toRepairs.
• Do not alter or modify the tool in anyway.
• Always assume that the tool containsfasteners.
• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at
any time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a
workingimplement.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in a safe
place, out of the reach ofchildren.
• Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the
trigger. Accidental discharge couldresult.
• Always use trigger lock-off when tool is not in
immediate use. Using the trigger lock-off will prevent
accidentaldischarge.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at
all times. Loss of balance may cause personalinjury.
h ) Keep 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.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge 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.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury andfire.
c ) When 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.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation orburns.
e ) Do 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.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265°F (130°C) may causeexplosion.
g ) Follow 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.
6) Service
a ) Have 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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized serviceproviders.
