To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased. When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res. To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser- vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully di- scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

5.4 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 9)

Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (d). The battery capacity indicator (e) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs. All 3 LEDs are lit: The battery is fully charged. 2 or 1 LED(s) are lit: The battery has an adequate remaining charge. 1 LED fl ashes: The battery is empty, recharge the battery. All LEDs blink: The battery temperature is too high. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room tem- perature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this me- ans that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

6.1 Operation (Fig. 6)

Before starting your work, always check the level indicator (5) to see if the magazine contains stap- les/nails and ensure that the magazine cover (3) is closed properly. Important! To determine the desired and optimum penet- ration depth for the staples and nails, use a test workpiece which is similar in structure and materi- al thickness to the workpieces to be joined.

6.2 Triggering shots (Fig. 1)

The built-in trigger locks prevent the cordless nailer from being triggered accidentally. Triggering is therefore only possible by pressing the stapler head (6) of the cordless nailer against the materi- al and operating the trigger (1). To staple/nail, place the stapler head (6) of the cordless stapler/nailer against the workpiece. Pull back the trigger (1) once and release it again after each shot. If the nail or staple goes in too deep or not deep enough, the penetration depth can be adjusted by the depth setting (Fig. 1/Item 9) (see section 6.4)

6.3 Jammed staples/nails (Fig. 11-12)

If a staple/nail becomes jammed in the equip- ment, proceed as follows:

Remove the battery from the equipment.

Open the magazine cover (3)

Undo the two screws for the cover plates (7+8) as shown in Fig. 11.

Push the cover plates (7+8) forward as far as they will go. Then you can lift the two cover plates up and out.

Remove the jammed staple/nail

Fit the cover plates back in place again. Check that they are fitted back in place in the right direction and sequence.

Tighten the cover plate (7) again.

6.4 Depth setting (Fig. 10)

The equipment has a depth setting adjuster (Fig. 10/Item 9) in the form of a rotary knob. If you screw it in the (+) direction, the staples/nails will be shot in deeper. If you want to reduce the depth that the staples/nails are shot in, you have to screw the rotary knob in the “-” direction. Important! Use test workpieces.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
