lose footing when working in elevated environments such
asrooftops.
• Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring
you or a co‑worker. Be aware that the staple may follow the
grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude unexpectedly
from the side of the work material. Drive the chisel point of the
staple perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk ofinjury.
• Do not drive staples onto the heads of other fasteners or with
the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury from strong
recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted staples mayresult.
• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep
hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece
is properly secured before pressing the stapler against the
material. The contact trip may cause the work material to
shiftunexpectedly.
• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases
or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could ignite
gases causing a fire. 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 fastener is driven. In
Bump mode if contact trip is allowed to recontact work surface
before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will bedriven.
• Choice of triggering method is important. Check the manual
for triggeringoptions.
Sequential/Bump Selector Switch
Sequential Action
• When using the tool in sequential mode, do not
actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against
theworkpiece.
Bump Action (Fig. D)
• When using the tool in bump action, be careful of
unin tentional double fires resulting from tool recoil.
Unwanted fasteners may be driven if the contact trip is
allowed to accidentally re‑contact the worksurface.
• When “bump” actuating the finish stapler, always keep
tool in control. Inaccurate placement of tool can result in
misdirected discharge of afastener.
• To Avoid Double Fires:
‑ Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a
strongforce.
‑ Allow the tool to recoil fully after eachactuation.
‑ Use tool in sequentialmode.
• Do not drive staples onto the heads of other fasteners.
Strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted staples
mayresult.
• Be aware of material thickness when using stapler. A
protruding staple may causeinjury.
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 authorised DeWALT servicecentre.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge
fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard
woods, knots or any material too hard for the fastener
to penetrate. Do not use the body of the tool or top
cap as a hammer. Discharged fasteners may follow an
unexpected path and causeinjury.
• Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent
injury from inadvertent release of the pusher
• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections 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
