trip. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger.
Uncontrolled discharge couldresult.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if any
portion of the tool or trigger is inoperable, disconnected,
altered, or not working properly. Damaged parts or
missing parts should be repaired or replaced before use. Refer
toMaintenance.
• Do not alter or modify the tool in anyway.
• 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 overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance
at all times. Loss of balance may cause personal injury.
• Use the tool only for its intendeduse.
• Do not discharge staples into open air or any material
too hard for the staple to penetrate. Discharged staple
may follow unexpected path and causeinjury.
• Do not use the body of the tool or top cap as ahammer.
• Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent
injury from inadvertent release of thestaple.
• Refer to the Maintenance section for detailed
information on the proper maintenance of thetool.
• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be sure
the work surface is clear of any debris and be careful not to
lose footing when working in elevated environments such
asrooftops.
• Staples must be driven straight into the material. Do not
tilt the stapler while driving staples. Personal injury can result
from ricocheted or jammedstaples.
• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases
or fumes. This tool produces sparks that can ignite gases or
dust causing an explosion. Driving a staple into another staple
may also cause aspark.
• Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool
cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can
result in impact to the body, especially when stapling into
hard or densematerial.
• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool
to recoil away from work surface as staple isdriven.
• Be aware of material thickness when using stapler. A
protruding staple may causeinjury.
• Check the wire after each shot to make sure the cable
sheathing remainsintact.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personalinjury.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment ofhearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
duringoperation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers
DeWALT chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be
as easy as possible tooperate.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.
Your DeWALT charger is double insulated in
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
isrequired.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the DeWALT
serviceorganisation.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the oldplug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.

WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earthterminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 3A.
Using an Extension Cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for
the power input of your charger (see Technical Data). The
minimum conductor size is 1mm
2
; the maximum length
is30m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery
Chargers

• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using
batterypack.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
