GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases

or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with

earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away

from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Use battery only with charger listed. For use with

18V nickel-cadmium and 18V lithium-ion battery packs, see tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long

hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power

tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn

it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.

Store 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.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Maintain power tools. 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.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Use 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.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

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.

Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

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.

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.

SERVICE

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.

When servicing a power tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the

Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS

Careless handling of the nailer can result in unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.

Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone

nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the 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.

Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this

power tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked

to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

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.

Eye protection which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and others in the work area when

loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.

mechanism may be under compression and the fastener may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a jammed condition.

Do 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.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the nail may contact

hidden wiring. Nails contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

3 — English

The employer and/or user must ensure that proper

eye protection is worn. We recommend Wide Vision

Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses that provide protection against flying particles both from the front and side. Always use eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

Additional safety protection will be required in some

environments. For example, the working area may include exposure to noise level which can lead to hearing damage. The employer and user must ensure that any


necessary hearing protection is provided and used by the operator and others in the work area. Some environments will require the use of head protection equipment. When required, the employer and user must ensure that head protection conforming to ANSI Z89.1-1997 is used.

Keep fingers away from trigger when not driving

fasteners to avoid accidental firing.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the

operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during

extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing

accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire

or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.

 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped

or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.

Batteries can explode in the presence of a source

of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.

For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.

Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water.

If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate

medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge fasteners into open air.

Use the tool only for the purpose for which it was designed.

Use only the nails recommended for this tool. Use of the wrong nails could result in poor nail feeding, jammed nails, and nails leaving the tool at erratic angles. If nails are not feeding smoothly and properly, discontinue their use immediately. Jammed and improperly feeding nails could result in serious personal injury.

Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a nail to be directed toward anything other than the workpiece.

Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design or function without approval from the manufacturer.

Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.

Never clamp or tape the trigger or workpiece contact in an actuated position.

Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible warning label.

 Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from

oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.

Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

OPERATION

Any tool that cannot be controlled with the trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.

Check operation of the workpiece contact mechanism

frequently. Do not use the tool if the workpiece contact mechanism is not working correctly as accidental driving of a nail may result. Do not interfere with the proper operation of the workpiece contact mechanism.

Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the

trigger. Accidental discharge could result.

• Respect the tool as a working implement.

• Never engage in horseplay.

• Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed toward the work.

• Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool is in operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.

4 — English


Choice of triggering method is important. Check manual for triggering options.

Do not hold the tool by the front of the magazine. Do not put hands, head, or other parts of your body near the bottom of the magazine where the nail exits the tool, as serious personal injury could result.

Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone whether it contains nails or not.

Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive a nail into the workpiece.

Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully

positioned above the workpiece. Positioning the workpiece contact only partially above the workpiece could cause the nail to miss the workpiece completely and result in serious personal injury.

Do not drive nails near edge of material. The workpiece may split causing the nail to ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail may follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material or deflect, possibly causing injury.

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 fastener against the material. The workpiece contact may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.

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 nailing into hard or dense material.

During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of

the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the nailer against the work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from the nailer.

Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.

LOADING TOOL

Do not load the tool with fasteners when any one of the operating controls is activated.

When loading tool:

Never place a hand or any part of body in fastener discharge area of tool.

Do not pull the trigger or depress the workpiece contact as accidental actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
