illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
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 the 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 stapler may be accidentally activated if it
is plugged in.
■
Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The
mechanism may be under compression and the fastener
may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a
jammed condition.
■
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 SAFETY WARNINGS
■
The product is designed for single-hand use. Do not
hold the product by the front of the magazine. Do not put
hands, head, or other parts of your body near the bottom
of the magazine where the fastener exits the product, as
serious personal injury could be caused.
■
Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully
positioned above the workpiece. Positioning the
workpiece contact only partially above the workpiece
could cause the fastener to miss the workpiece
completely and result in serious personal injury.
■
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The
workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet,
injuring you or a coworker. Be aware that the fastener
may follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude
unexpectedly from the side of the work material or
deflect, possibly causing injury.
■
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
fastener against the material. The workpiece contact
may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.
■
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 stapling
into hard or dense material.
■
During normal use the product will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the
product. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding
the product against the work. Restriction to the recoil
can result in a second fastener being driven from the
product. Grip the handle firmly, let the product do the
work and do not place second hand on top of the product
or near the exhaust at any time. Failure to heed this
warning can result in serious personal injury.
■
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with
the product at an overly steep angle as this may cause
deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
■
Always check the work area for hidden wiring, gas lines,
water lines, etc., before using the product on such work
area.
■
After using the product in the contact actuation mode,
switch it back to the full sequential mode.
■
The driving depth of the fastener may be adjusted
beyond air pressure. It is advisable to test the depth on
a scrap workpiece to determine the required depth for
the application.
■
Only fasteners matching the description in the product
specifications table can be used with the product.
Using incorrect fasteners may lead to jamming or other
malfunctions.
■
Always remove the battery before adjusting the depth
of drive wheel.
■
Do not pull back on the adjustment wheel; the wheel is
designed to be rotated.
■
Do not press the trigger while adjusting the depth of
drive wheel.
■
Always select full sequential firing mode before adjusting
the depth of drive.
■
Do not point the product towards yourself or anyone
nearby when adjusting the depth of drive.
■
Clamp workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped
workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
■
The product will restart automatically if stalled. Switch
off the product immediately if it stalls. Do not switch
on the product again while it is still stalled, as doing so
could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
Determine why the product stalled and rectify this,
paying heed to the safety instructions.
■
Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is
between 0°C and 40°C.
■
Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between
0°C and 40°C.
■
The recommended ambient temperature range for the
charging system during charging is between 10°C and
38°C.
