General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
CORDLESS NAILER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
Careless handling of the nailer can result in
unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.
2. Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the
fastener causing an injury.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shield, and a full face shield when needed.
8. Keep hands and feet away from the ejection port
area.
9. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
10. Always remove the battery cartridge before
loading the fasteners, adjustment, inspection,
maintenance or after operation is over.
11. Make sure no one is nearby before operation.
Never attempt to drive fasteners from both the
inside and outside of wall at the same time.
Fasteners may rip through and/or fly off,
presenting a grave danger.
12. Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
when working in high locations.
13. Never use fastener driving tools marked with the
symbol "Do not use on scaffoldings, ladders" for
specific application for example:
- when changing one driving location to another
involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, or
ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths;
- closing boxes or crates;
- fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on
vehicles and wagons.

14. Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the like
carefully to avoid possible electrical shock, gas
GEA010-1
leakage, explosions, etc. caused by stapling into
live wires, conduits or gas pipes.
15. Use only fasteners specified in this manual. The
use of any other fasteners may cause malfunction
of the tool.
16. Do not tamper with the tool or attempt to use it for
other than driving fasteners.
17. Do not operate the tool without fasteners. It
shortens the service life of the tool.
18. Stop driving operations immediately if you notice
something wrong or out of the ordinary with the
tool.
GEB117-2 19. Never drive fastener into any materials which may
allow the fastener to puncture and fly through as a
projectile.
20. Never actuate the switch trigger and safety lever
at the same time until you are prepared to fastener
workpieces. Allow the workpiece to depress the
safety lever. Never defeat its purpose by securing
the safety lever back or by depressing it by hand.
21. Never tamper with the safety lever. Check the
safety lever frequently for proper operations.
22. Always remove fasteners from the tool when not
in use.
