•
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 or trigger lock-off, to become inoperable.
Do not tape or tie trigger in the on position. Do not remove
spring from contact 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, trigger, or trigger lock-off 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.
•
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 fastener may follow 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 lose footing when working in elevated
environments such as rooftops.
Do not drive fastener near edge of material. The
•
workpiece may split causing the nail to ricochet, injuring
you or a co-worker. Be aware that the fastener 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 fastener perpendicular to the grain to
reduce risk of injury.

•
Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners
or with the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury
from strong recoil jammed nails, or ricocheted nails
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 nailer
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 nail into another nail
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 nailing
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 fired.
Choice of triggering method is important. Check the
•
manual for triggering options.
•
Always select an actuation system that is
appropriate to the fastener application and the
training of the operator.
•
Use caution when handling, loading or unloading
fasteners. Fasteners have sharp points which could
cause injury.
•
Only wear gloves that provide adequate feel and
safe control of the trigger and any adjusting devices.
Bump Action
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.
•
To Avoid Double Fires:
ʵ Do not engage the tool against the work surface with
a strong force.
ʵ Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.
When bump actuating the roofing nailer, always
•
keep tool in control. Inaccurate placement of tool can
result in misdirected discharge of a nail.
•
Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A
protruding nail may cause injury.
•
Depth adjustment: To reduce risk of serious injury
from accidental actuation when attempting to
adjust depth, ALWAYS;
ʵ Remove battery pack.
ʵ Engage trigger lock-off.
ʵ Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments
•
Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other
work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
