instructions for detailed information on the proper
maintenance of the tool.
• Please keep the tool in clean condition, wipe off
grease and/or oil after work. Do not use any solvent
based cleaner to clean the tool. It is possible that
the solvent will deteriorate the rubber and/or plastic
components on the tool. Greasy handle and tool
body can cause accidental drop of the tool and
injury to nearby person.
• Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only parts that are supplied or recommended
by Kyocera Unimerco Fastening. This will ensure
that the safety of the tool is maintained.
• Use only lubricants recommended by Kyocera Uni-
merco Fastening / your local TJEP dealer.
Foreseeable hazards
• Information to conduct a risk assessment of these
hazards and implementation of appropriate controls
is essential.
• During operation, debris from work piece may be
discharged.
• When using the tool for long periods, the operator
may experience discomfort in arms, shoulders,
neck, or other parts of the body.
• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage
to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and
arms.
• If the operator experiences symptoms such as
persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing,
aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or
stiffness, do not ignore these warning signs. The
operator shall consult a qualified health professional
regarding overall activities.
• While using the tool, the operator shall adopt a suit-
able but ergonomic posture. Maintain secure footing
and avoid awkward or off-balanced postures.
• Residual risks relating to repetitive work hazards
such as duration of use in respect to working posi-
tions and forces may exist. It is advised to consult
EN 1005-3 and EN 1005-4 for such information.
• Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace
injury. Be aware of slippery surfaces when operat-
ing the tool.
• Proceed with additional care in unfamiliar surround-
ings. Hidden hazards may exist, such as electricity
or other utility lines.
• If the tool is used in an area where there is static
dust, it may spread the dust and cause a hazard.
• Where dust hazards are created, the priority shall
be to control them at the point of emission.
Charger and battery warnings
• Recharge the batteries only with the charger speci-
fied by Kyocera Unimerco Fastening. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• The charger plug must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators and refrigerators
when working with electrical equipment. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose the battery or charger to rain, snow
or wet conditions and do not immerse the battery or
charger into water or other fluids, as it will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the charger. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Do not use the battery charger if the cord is dam-
aged or the battery charger is defect. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the battery charger in explosive atmos-
phere. This electrical device is not designed for use
in such environment.
• Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature
at 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F). Do not charge
battery outdoors or in temperatures below 10°C
(104°F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down
before charging it.
• Do not puncture or attempt to open charger or
battery case.
• When overused, liquid may spill from the battery,
please avoid contact. In case of accidental contact
with battery leakage, rinse with water. If liquid
comes in contact with eyes, rinse with clean water
and seek medical attention immediately, as this can
cause blindness.
• Do not cover the battery charger with anything.
• Do not use a step up transformer or engine genera-
tor as the power source of the battery charger.
• Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• During charging, the battery charger must be placed
in a well-ventilated area.
• Charge the battery before completely discharged.
• Always stop tool operation and charge the battery
when you notice less tool power.
• Never recharge a fully charged battery. Overcharg-
ing shortens the battery life span.
• If abnormal heat is generated during charging, discon-
nect the battery to stop charging immediately. Contin-
ued charging may cause smoke, fire or explosion.
• When the battery pack is not in use, remove it from
the tool or charger.
• Keep the battery away from fluids and metal ob-
jects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects, that can make a connec-
tion from one terminal to another. Short-circuiting
the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
• Charge the battery if you do not use it for a long
period of time (more than six months).
• Recycle battery and charger according to local laws.
• Do not incinerate the battery/charger or attempt to
puncture and crush the battery/charger.
• Do not expose the battery or tools loaded with
battery under direct sun light exposure. Prevent
to expose them at temperatures higher than 40°C
