Additional Safety Information

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of

it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicalsare:

• lead from lead‑based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for detailed information on the proper maintenance of thetool.

• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be sure the work surface is clear of any debris and be careful not to lose footing when working in elevated environments such asrooftops.

• Do not drive fastener near edge of material. The workpiece may split causing the nail to ricochet, injuring you or a co‑worker. Be aware that the fastener may follow the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the chisel point of the fastener perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk ofinjury.

• Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury from strong recoil jammed nails, or ricocheted nails mayresult.

• Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area. Hold workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the nailer against the material. Unsecured work may shift unexpectedly.

• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail may also cause aspark.

• Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing into hard or densematerial.

• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven. In Bump mode if contact trip is allowed to recontact work surface before trigger is released an unwanted fastener will befired.

• Choice of triggering method is important. Check the manual for triggeringoptions.

• Keep hands and body parts away from the discharge area of the tool. While in use NEVER grasp the tool by the magazine or canister, a mis‑driven nail can exit the nose causing injury.

• 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 theoperator.

• Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation material, or dust which could harm operator’s eyes. Operator and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields. These safety glasses must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved glasses have “Z87” printed or stamped on them. It is the employer’s responsibility to enforce the use of eye protection equipment by the tool operator and other people in the workarea.

• Always wear appropriate personal hearing and other protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearingloss.

• Disconnect battery pack from the tool when not in use. Always remove battery pack and remove fasteners from magazine before leaving the area or passing the tool to another operator. Do not carry tool to another work area in which changing location involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like, with battery pack connected. Do not make adjustments, perform maintenance or clear jammed fasteners while battery is inplace.

• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool or trigger to become inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger in the on position. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger. Uncontrolled discharge couldresult.

• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool or trigger is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly. Damaged parts or missing parts should be repaired or replaced before use. Refer toRepairs.

• Do not alter or modify the tool in anyway.

• Always assume that the tool containsfasteners.

• Do not point the tool at co‑workers or yourself at any time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a workingimplement.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in a safe place, with the battery removed, and out of the reach ofchildren.

• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance may cause personalinjury.

• Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not discharge fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any material too hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do not use the body of the tool or top cap as a hammer. Discharged fastener may follow unexpected path and causeinjury.)7 English
