8. Check rod before use.
Make sure the rod operates properly. Never use the Auto
Hammer unless the rod is operating properly, otherwise
the Auto Hammer could drive a nail unexpectedly. Do
not tamper with or remove the rod, otherwise the rod
becomes inoperable.
9. Use speci
fi
ed nails only.
Never use nails other than those speci
fi
ed and described
in these instructions.
10. Be careful when connecting the battery.
When connecting the battery and loading nails in
order not to
fi
re the tool by mistake, make sure of the
followings.
○
Do not touch the trigger.
○
Do not allow the
fi
ring head to contact with any
surface.
○
Keep the
fi
ring head down.
Strictly observe the above instructions, and always
make sure that no part of the body, hands or legs is
ever in front of the nail outlet.
11. Do not carelessly place your
fi
nger on the trigger.
Do not place your
fi
nger on the trigger except when actually
nailing. If you carry this tool or hand it to someone while
having your
fi
nger on the trigger, you may inadvertently
discharge a nail and thus cause an accident.
12. Press the nail outlet
fi
rmly against the material to
be nailed.
When driving in nails, press the nail outlet
fi
rmly against
the material to be nailed. If the outlet is not applied
properly, the nails may rebound.
13. Keep hands and feet away from the
fi
ring head
when using.
It is very dangerous for a nail to hit the
hands or feet by mistake.
14. Beware of the tool’s kickback.
Do not approach the top of the tool with your head etc.
during operation. This is dangerous because the tool
may recoil violently if the nail currently being driven in
comes into contact with a previous nail or a knot in the
wood.
15. Take care when nailing thin boards or the corners
of wood.
When nailing thin boards, the nails may pass right
through, as may also be the case when nailing the
corners of wood due to deviation of the nails. In such
cases, always make sure that there is no one (and
nobody’s hands or feet; etc.) behind the thin board or
next to the wood you are going to nail.
16. Simultaneous nailing on both sides of the same
wall is dangerous.
Under no circumstances should nailing be performed on
both sides of a wall at the same time. This would be very
dangerous since the nails might pass through the wall
and thus cause injuries.
17. Do not use the power tool on sca
ff
oldings, ladders.
The power tool shall not be used for speci
fi
c application
for example:
– when changing one driving location to another
involves the use of sca
ff
oldings, stairs, ladders or
ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,
– closing boxes or crates,
–
fi
tting transportation safety systems e.g. on vehicles
and wagons
18. Remove all remaining nails and battery from Auto
Hammer when:
1) doing maintenance and inspection;
2) checking proper operation of rod and trigger;
3) clearing a jam;
4) it is not in use;
5) leaving work area;
6) moving it to another location; and
7) handing it to another person.
Never attempt to clear a jam or repair the Auto Hammer
unless you have removed battery and all remaining nails
from the Auto Hammer.
The Auto Hammer should never be left unattended since
people who are not familiar with the Auto Hammer might
handle it and injure the themselves.
19. When cleaning the power tool, do not use gasoline
or other in
fl
ammable liquids.
If vapour from an in
fl
ammable liquid gets into the power
tool, there is a danger that sparks produced when
stapling etc. may cause an explosion.
20. The operating environment for this device is
between 0°C and 40°C so ensure use within this
temperature range. The device may fail to operate
below 0°C or above 40°C.
21. NEVER allow magnets (or similar magnetic devices)
to be adjacent to the Auto Hammer, because the
Auto Hammer has a magnet inside.
Doing so will cause a failure or risk of injury by
malfunction.
22. Resting the unit after continuous work.
23. The power tool is equipped with a temperature
protection circuit to protect the motor. Continuous
work may cause the temperature of the unit to rise,
activating the temperature protection circuit and
automatically stopping operation. If this happens,
allow the power tool to cool before resuming use.
24. This product may cease to operate when an
abnormality is detected.
25. Do not look directly into the light.
Such actions could
result in eye injury.
Wipe
o
ff
any dirt or grime attached to the lens of the LED
light with a soft cloth, being careful not to scratch the
lens.
Scratches on the lens of the LED light can result in
decreased brightness.
PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY AND
CHARGER
1. Always charge the battery at an ambient
temperature of 0–40°C.
A temperature of less than 0°C will result in over charging
which is dangerous. The battery cannot be charged at a
temperature greater than 40°C.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that of
20–25°C.
2. Do not use the charger continuously.
When one charging is completed, leave the charger for
about 15 minutes before the next charging of battery.
3. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery or
charger.
5. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.
Short-circuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the
battery.
6. Do not dispose of the battery in
fi
re.
If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
7. Using an exhausted battery will damage the
charger.
8. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was
purchased as soon as the post-charging battery life
becomes too short for practical use.
Do not dispose of the exhausted battery.
