General Safety Rules – For All
Battery Operated Tools
WARNING! Read and understand all
instructions.
Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
Damaged cords may create a fire.
•
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery.
A charg-
er that may be suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
•
Use battery operated tool only with the specifical-
ly designed battery pack.
Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury,
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose cloth-
ing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should
also be avoided.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the
locked or OFF position before inserting battery
pack.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on
invites accidents. Be sure contact trip is also in the
locked off position. This prevents nailer from acciden-
tal discharge.
•
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn-
ing the tool on.
A wrench or key that is left attached
to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to a loss of control.
•
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application.
The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing the tool.
Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
•
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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
•
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean.
Properly maintained tools, with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to con-
trol.
•
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
SERVICE
•
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
•
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury.
Important Safety
Instructions for Nailers
WARNING:
When using any nailer, all safety
precautions, as outlined below, should be fol-
lowed to avoid the risk of death or serious
injury. Read and understand all instructions
before operating the tool.
•
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool 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.
The operator
and all those persons in the general area
should wear safety glasses with perma-
nently attached side shields. Approved
safety glasses are imprinted with the char-
acters “Z87.1”. It is the employer’s respon-
sibility to enforce the use of eye protection
equipment by the tool operator and other
people in the work area. (Fig. A)
•
Always wear appropriate personal hear-
ing and other protection during use.
Under some conditions and duration of use,
noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss. (Fig. A)
•
Disconnect battery pack from the tool
whenever clearing a jam, performing any
maintenance or repair, moving the tool
or when the tool is unattended.
•
Do not remove, tamper with, or other-
wise cause the tool, trigger, contact trip
lock-off, or contact trip to become inop-
erable.
Do not tape or tie trigger or contact
trip in the on position. Do not remove spring
from contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge
could result.
•
Do not operate a tool if any portion of the
tool, trigger, contact trip lock-off, or con-
tact trip is inoperable, disconnected,
altered, or not working properly.
Damaged parts or missing parts should be
repaired or replaced before use.
•
Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
•
Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners.
