This value is a tool-related characteristic value and does not represent the infl uence to the hand-arm-system when using the tool. The infl uence to the hand-arm-system when using the tool will for example depend on the gripping force, the contact pressure force, the working direction, the adjustment of energy supply, the workpiece and the workpiece support.

NAILER D5118018 ENGLISH Safety Instructions When using tools, always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of personal injury. Read the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place!

1. Keep work area clean.

Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.

2. Consider work area environment.

Do not expose tools to humidity. Keep work area well lit. Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

3. Keep children away.

Do not let children or visitors come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required for those under 16 years of age.

4. Store idle tools.

When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry place and locked up securely, out of reach of children.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. They can be caught in moving parts. Preferably wear rubber gloves and non-slip safety footwear. Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.

6. Do not overreach.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the tool when you are tired.

8. Use appropriate tool.

The intended use is described in this instruction manual. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. The tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended. WARNING! The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any operation with this tool, other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury.

9. Maintain tools with care.

Keep the tools in good condition and clean for better and safer performance. Follow the instructions for maintenance and changing accessories. Keep all controls dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

10. Check for damaged parts.

Before using the tool, carefully check it for damage to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for misalignment and seizure of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other conditions that may affect its operation. Have damaged guards or other defective parts repaired or replaced as instructed.

11. Have your tool repaired by an authorized

DEWALT repair agent. This tool is in accordance with the relevant safety regulations. To avoid danger, tools must only be repaired by qualified technicians. Additional safety instructions for pneumatic tools ● Use quick-action couplings for connection to the compressed air system. The non-sealable nipple must be fi tted to the tool in such a way that no compressed air remains in the tool after disconnection. ● Always use clean, dry compressed air. Do not use oxygen or combustible gases as an energy source for this tool. ● Only connect this tool to an air supply where the maximum allowable pressure of the tool cannot be exceeded by more than 10%. In case of higher pressures, a pressure reducing valve including a downstream safety valve shall be built into the compressed air supply. ● Only use hoses with a rating exceeding the maximum operating pressure of the tool. ● Before transporting the tool, disconnect it from the compressed air system, especially where ladders are used or where unusual physical posture is adopted while moving. ● Disconnect the tool from the air supply when it is not in use. Additional safety instructions for fastener driving tools ● Before use check that the magnet in the nail guide is functioning properly. Do not use the tool if the magnet is defective.19 ENGLISH ● Always wear safety glasses. ● Always wear ear protection. ● Only use fasteners of the type specifi ed in the manual. ● Do not use fasteners made of hardened steel (e.g. masonry nails) or fasteners which are non-magnetic. ● Do not use any stands for mounting the tool to a support. ● Do not use the equipment as a hammer. ● Never point any operational fastener driving tool at yourself or at any other person. Do not use the tool in applications requiring operation close to the body. ● While working, hold the tool in such a way that no injuries can be caused to the head or to the body in the event of a possible recoil due to a disruption in the energy supply or hard areas within the workpiece. ● Never actuate the fastener driving tool into free space. ● Do not attempt to drive fasteners into concrete, stone, hardwoods, knots or any material too hard for the fasteners to penetrate. ● Consider the conditions in the work area. Fasteners can penetrate thin workpieces or slip off corners and edges of the workpiece, and thus put people at risk. ● Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the workpiece. ● Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners. ● Before putting the tool down, always check that there is no fastener present in the nail guide. WARNING! Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Wear adequate personal protective equipment. Residual Risks

• The following risks are inherent to the use of these machines: – Injuries caused by improper handling of the tool. – Loss of control due to not gripp ing tool firmly. – Muscle strain of arms and hands, especially when working overhead. Always take regular breaks when working for long periods of time. – Do not use the tool while you are tired or under influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating may result in serious personal injury.

• In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are: – Impairment of hearing. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss. – Loss of control caused by recoil. – Risk of injury caused by pinch points, sharp edges and improper handling of workpiece. – Risk of injury caused by sharp edges when changing nails or inserting nail sticks. – Discomfort to hand and arms. Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods and limit daily time of use. The following pictograms are shown on the tool: Pneumatic tool with safety yoke. Do not use the tool on a ladder. Wear ear protection. Wear eye protection.
