the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
u
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
u
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
u
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.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
u
ing 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 main-
u
tained 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
u
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Tacker safety warnings

Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Care-
u
less handling of the tacker can result in unexpected firing
of fasteners and personal injury.
Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
u
nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener
causing an injury.
Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
u
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
u
fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed
fastener, the tacker may be accidentally activated if it is
plugged in.
Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The
u
mechanism may be under compression and the fastener
may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a
jammed condition.
Do not use this tacker for fastening electrical cables. It
u
is not designed for electric cable installation and may
damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing
electric shock or fire hazards.

Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
u
hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age or may cause an electric shock.
