Nailer Safety Warnings - DeWalt DCN891 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, nails, 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.

Nailer Safety Warnings

Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
•
Careless handling of the nailer can result in unexpected
firing of fasteners and personal injury.
• Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby. Unexpected triggering could 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 nailer may be accidentally activated if it is
plugged in.
• Do not use this nailer 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 Nailer Safety Warnings

WARNING: When using any nailer, all safety
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.
• Keep hands and body parts away from the discharge
area of the tool. While in use NEVER grasp the tool by the
magazine or canister, a mis-driven nail can exit the nose
causing injury.
• Never operate tool with magazine disengaged or
separated from tool.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the pin may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator.
• 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.
• Always use trigger lock-off when tool is not in
immediate use. Using the trigger lock-off will prevent
accidental discharge.
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.
• 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 or any material
too hard for the pin to penetrate. Do not use the
body of the tool or top cap as a hammer. Discharged
pin may follow unexpected path and cause injury.
• Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent
injury from inadvertent release of the pin.
Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for
•
detailed information on the proper maintenance of
the tool.
