Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
u
nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the nails
causing an injury.
Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
u
against the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with
the workpiece, the nail may be deflected away from your
target.
Disconnect the tool from the power source when the
u
nail jams in the tool. While removing a jammed nail, the
nailer may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
Use caution while removing a jammed nail. The mech-
u
anism may be under compression and the nail may be
forcefully discharged while attempting to free a jammed
condition.
Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical cables. It
u
is not designed for electric cable installation and may
damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing
electric shock or fire hazards.
Disconnect the nailer from the power source when
u
loading and unloading nails, making adjustments or
changing accessories. The nailer may be accidentally ac-
tivated if it is connected to the power source, which may
result in personal injury.
Be careful when handling nails, especially when load-
u
ing and unloading. The nails have sharp points which
may result in personal injury.
Keep fingers away from trigger when not operating
u
this nailer and when moving from one operating posi-
tion to another. Unexpected triggering will discharge a
nail, which may result in personal injury.
Hold the nailer by insulated gripping surfaces, when
u
performing an operation where the nail may contact
hidden wiring. A nail contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the nailer "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Hold the nailer with a firm grasp during operation. Un-
u
controlled recoil of the nailer may result in unintended ac-
tivation, which may result in personal injury.
Keep all body parts such as hands and legs, etc. away
u
from the firing direction of the tool. The nail may penet-
rate the workpiece as well as any object behind it, which
may result in personal injury.
When using the nailer, keep all body parts such as
u
hands and legs, etc. away from the area where the
nails is driven into the workpiece. The nail could deflect
and exit the workpiece, which may result in personal in-
jury.
Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-
u
den supply lines or contact the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause
fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex-
plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical

attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products.
u
This is the only way in which you can protect the battery
against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
