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
