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.
Supplemental 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.
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.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
•
performing an operation where the accessory 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.
Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
•
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 carry the tool from place to place holding the
•
trigger. Accidental discharge could result.
Always use trigger lock‑off when tool is not in
•
immediate use. Using the trigger lock‑off will prevent
accidental discharge.
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, concrete, stone, extremely hard
woods, knots or any material too hard for the fastener to
penetrate. Do not use the body of the tool or top cap as
a hammer. Discharged fasteners may follow unexpected
path and cause injury.
Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent
•
injury from inadvertent release of the pusher.
Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for
•
detailed information on the proper maintenance of
the tool.
Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be
•
sure the work surface is clear of any debris and be careful
not to lose footing when working in elevated environments
such as rooftops.
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The
•
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,
injuring you or a co‑worker. Be aware that the nail may
follow the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude
unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the
chisel point of the nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce
risk of injury.
Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners
•
or with the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury
from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted nails
may result.
Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
•
area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to
keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the
workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer
against the material. The contact trip may cause the work
material to shift unexpectedly.
Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust,
•
gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could
ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail
may also cause a spark.
Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool
•
cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil
can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing
into hard or dense material.
•
Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to
recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven.
•
Choice of triggering method is important. Check the
manual for triggering options.
Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other
•
work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires,
plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in injury.
Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A
•
protruding nail may cause injury.
