 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 in-
clude 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 fasten-
ers 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 elec-
trical 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 pos-
sibly 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 use the tool as a hammer.
 Always carry the tool by the handle.
 Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design
or function without approval from the manufacturer.
NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS
4 — English
 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.
 Never leave tool unattended if the battery is installed.
 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 clean-
ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Fol-
lowing this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and
deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
OPERATION
 Do not use tool if trigger does not actuate properly.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the trigger is
dangerous and must be repaired.
 Do not use a tool that does not work correctly.
 Always assume that the tool contains nails.
 Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the
trigger. Accidental discharge could result.
 Always handle the tool with care:
• 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.
 The tool is designed for single-hand use. 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 tool 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.
