Stapler Safety Warnings - DeWalt DCN681 Guide D'utilisation

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.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) 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.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, staples, 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.
d ) 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.
6) Service
a ) 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.

Stapler Safety Warnings

Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
•
Careless handling of the stapler can result in unexpected
firing of fasteners and personal injury.
• Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge a 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.
• Disconnect the tool from the power source when the
fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed
fastener, the tacker may be accidentally activated if it is
plugged in.
• Do not use this stapler 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.
Additional Stapler Safety Warnings

precautions, as outlined below, should be followed
to avoid the risk of death or serious injury. Read and
understand all instructions before operating the tool.

WARNING: NEVER spray or in any other way apply
lubricants or cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can
seriously affect the life and performance of the tool.

WARNING: if the tool has been dropped or you

defined in the mode selection section of the manual. If
it doesn't perform according to the manual, stop using
the tool and have it serviced at an authorized dewalt
service center.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where driven fastners may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator.
• Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation
material, or dust which could harm operator's
eyes. Operator and others in work area MUST wear
safety glasses with side shields. These safety glasses
must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved
glasses have "Z87" printed or stamped on them. It is
the employer's responsibility to enforce the use of eye
protection equipment by the tool operator and other
people in the work area.
• Always wear appropriate personal hearing and
other protection during use. Under some conditions
and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
• 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, trigger lock-off, or contact trip to
become inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger or contact
trip in the ON position. Do not remove spring from contact
trip. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger
and contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if
any portion of the tool, trigger, trigger lock-off, or
contact trip is inoperable, disconnected, altered,
or not working properly. Damaged parts or missing
parts should be repaired or replaced before use. Refer
to Repairs.
