GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation.

If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

English

b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

PRECAUTION

Keep children and infirm persons away.

When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and infirm persons.

CORDLESS STAPLER SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
   Careless handling of the stapler 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 stapler 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 stapler for fastening electric cables.
   It is not designed for electric cable installation and may damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Safe operation through correct usage.

This tool was designed for driving staples into wood and similar materials. Use it for its intended purpose only.

1. Be careful of ignition and explosions.

Since sparks may fly during stapling, it is dangerous to use this tool near lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, gas, adhesives and similar inflammable substances as they may ignite or explode. Under no circumstances should this tool therefore be used in the vicinity of such inflammable material.

1. Always wear eye protection (protective goggles).

When operating the power tool, always wear eye protection, and ensure that surrounding people wear eye protection too.

The possibility of fragments of staples or staples that were not properly hit entering the eye is a threat to sight. Eye protection can be bought at any hardware store.

Always wear eye protection while operating this tool. Use either eye protection or a wide vision mask over prescription glasses.

Employers should always enforce the use of eye protection equipment.

1. Protect your ears and head.

When engaged in stapling work please wear ear mufflers and head protection. Also, depending on condition, ensure that surrounding people also wear ear mufflers and head protection.

1. Pay attention to those working close to you.

It would be very dangerous if staples that were not properly driven in should hit other people. Therefore, always pay attention to the safety of the people around you when using this tool. Always make sure that nobody's body, hands or feet are close to the staple outlet.

1. Never point the staple outlet towards people.

Always assume the tool contains fasteners.

If the staple outlet is pointed towards people, serious accidents may be caused if you mistakenly discharge the tool. When connecting and check disconnecting the battery, during staple loading or similar operations, be sure the staple outlet is not pointed towards anyone (including yourself). Even when no staples are loaded at all, it is dangerous to discharge the tool while pointing it at someone, so never attempt to do so. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a working implement.

1. Prior to using this product, make sure that it is operating properly in accordance with the content of "Testing the stapler" on page 11.

2. Check push lever before use.

Make sure the push lever operates properly. Never use the Stapler unless the push lever is operating properly, otherwise the Stapler could drive a fastener unexpectedly. Do not tamper with or remove the push lever, otherwise the push lever becomes inoperable.

1. Be careful when connecting the battery.

When connecting the battery and loading staples in order not to fire the tool by mistake, make sure of the followings.

○ Do not touch the trigger.

O Do not allow the firing head to contact with any surface.

○ Keep the firing 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 staple outlet.

1. Use specified staples only.

Never use staples other than those specified and described in these instructions.

1. Do not carelessly place your finger on the trigger. Do not place your finger on the trigger except when actually stapling. If you carry this tool or hand it to someone while having your finger on the trigger, you may inadvertently discharge a staple and thus cause an accident.

2. Press the staple outlet firmly against the material to be stapled.

When driving in staples, press the staple outlet firmly against the material to be stapled. If the outlet is not applied properly, the staples may rebound.

1. Keep hands and feet away from the firing head when using.

It is very dangerous for a staple to hit the hands or feet by mistake.

1. 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 staple currently being driven in comes into contact with a previous staple or a knot in the wood.

1. Be careful of double fire due to recoil.

If the push lever is unintentionally allowed to re-contact the workpiece following recoil, an unwanted fastener will be driven.

In order to avoid this undesirable double fire, pull the trigger rapidly and firmly.

1. Take care when stapling thin boards or the corners of wood.

When stapling thin boards, the staples may pass right through, as may also be the case when stapling the corners of wood due to deviation of the staples. 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 staple.

1. Simultaneous staping on both sides of the same wall is dangerous.

Under no circumstances should stapling be performed on both sides of a wall at the same time. This would be very dangerous since the staples might pass through the wall and thus cause injuries.

1. Do not use the power tool on scaffoldings, ladders.

The power tool shall not be used for specific application for example:

- when changing one driving location to another involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders or ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,

- closing boxes or crates,

- fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on vehicles and wagons

1. Remove all remaining fasteners and battery from stapler when:

1) doing maintenance and inspection;

2) checking proper operation of push lever 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 unless you have removed battery and all remaining fasteners from the Stapler.

The Stapler should never be left unattended since people who are not familiar with the Stapler might handle it and injure the themselves.

NOTE

○ The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature and power source voltage.
○ If charging takes a long time

• Charging will take longer at extremely low ambient temperatures. Charge the battery in a warm location (such as indoors).
• Do not block the air vent. Otherwise the interior will overheat, reducing the charger's performance.

• If the cooling fan is not operating, contact a HiKOKI Authorized Service Center for repairs.

• Disconnect the charger's power cord from the receptacle.

• Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery. NOTE

Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use, and then keep it.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the first and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2–3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer.

(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted. When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

HOW TO USE THE STAPLER

WARNING

○ NEVER point tool at yourself or others in work area.
- Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving staples to avoid accidental firing.
○ Do not use the electrical cord if damaged. Have it repaired immediately.
○ Never place your face, hands or feet near firing head when using.
○ Do not drive staples on top of other staples or with Stapler at too steep of an angle; staples can ricochet and hurt someone.
○ Do not drive staples into thin boards or near corners and edges of workpiece. Staples can be driven through or away from workpiece and hit someone.

Never drive staples from both sides of a wall at the same time. Staples can be driven into and through the wall and hit a person on the opposite side.
- Never use Stapler which is defective or operating abnormally.
O Do not use Stapler as hammer.
○ Remove all remaining staples and battery from stapler when:

1) doing maintenance and inspection;
2) checking proper operation of push lever and trigger;
3) cleaning 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.

1. Stapling procedures (Fig. 9)

This Stapler is equipped with the push lever and does not operate unless the push lever is depressed. First, press the push lever against the wood; next, pull the trigger to drive the staple.

After stapling once, stapling will not be possible again until the trigger is released and pull again.

WARNING

- To avoid double firing or accidental firing due to recoil. Pull the trigger rapidly and firmly.

A: Position the staple outlet on the workpiece with finger off the trigger.
B: Depress the push lever firmly until it is completely depressed.
C: Pull the trigger to drive a staple.
D: Remove finger from the trigger and lift the tool off the wood surface completely.

To continue stapling in a separate location, move the stapler along the wood, repeating from the step A as required.

NOTE

Operations B and C should be done within 4 seconds of each other. If more than 4 seconds pass after B, the Stapler will not work properly. If this happens, retry from B.
○ If the staples are not being driven in completely, firmly press down on the head of the stapler when firing.

(Fig. 10)

WARNING

Keep your finger off the trigger except during stapling operation, because serious injury could result if the push lever accidentally contacts you or others in work area.
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area. This HiKOKI stapler may bounce from the recoil of driving a staple and unwanted subsequent staple may be driven, possibly causing injury.

NOTE

○ Always handle staples and package carefully. If staples are dropped, collating bond may be broken, which will cause mis-feeding and jamming.
○ After stapling:

1) remove battery from the Stapler;

2) remove all staples from the Stapler;

2. Using the hook (See Fig. 11)

WARNING

When using the hook, remove the battery. Pay sufficient attention so that the main equipment does not fall. If the tool falls, there is a risk of accident.

Hook can be installed on the left or right side.

A: Remove the battery, then remove all remaining staples from the magazine.
B: Securely hold the main unit and remove the screw using a screwdriver.
C: Remove the hook.

D: Install the hook on the other side and securely fasten with screw.

NOTE

Hook can be used as a hanger.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING

Be sure to remove all remaining staples, lock the trigger, and remove the battery from the stapler before maintenance and inspection.

1. Removing Staple Jams (Fig. 12)

(1) Remove the battery from the power tool.
(2) Press the stop lever, slide open the magazine base and remove all remaining staples.
(3) Remove any jammed staples, adhesive of staples, fragments, and splinters that have collected in the blade guide with pliers, etc.

(4) Check to ascertain that the push lever works smoothly.

NOTE

After removing staple jams, reload the staples and fire a test staple.

2. Magazine Inspections

The inside of the magazine needs to be cleaned from time to time. Slide the magazine base open and remove adhesive of staples, fragments and splinters that have collected.

NOTE

Dirt inside the magazine may result in trouble with movement of staples or cause empty firing.

1. Maintenance chart

ACTION WHY	HOW
Clean magazine and feeder mechanism.	Prevent a jam. Blow clean daily.
Keep push lever working properly.	Promote operator safety and efficient Stapler operation.	Blow clean daily.

4. Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could result in serious hazard.

5. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

6. Cleaning on the outside

When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.

7. Storage

Store the power tool and battery in a place in which the temperature is less than 40^ C and out of reach of children.

NOTE

Storing lithium-ion batteries. Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully charged before storing them. Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with a low charge may result in performance deterioration, significantly reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries incapable of holding a charge.

However, significantly reduced battery usage time may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the batteries two to five times.

If the battery usage time is extremely short despite repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead and purchase new batteries.

CAUTION

In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the safety regulations and standards prescribed in each country must be observed.

Important notice on the batteries for the HiKOKI cordless power tools

Please always use one of our designated genuine batteries. We cannot guarantee the safety and performance of our cordless power tool when used with batteries other than these designated by us, or when the battery is disassembled and modified (such as disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal parts).

GUARANTEE

We guarantee HiKOKI Power Tools in accordance with statutory/country specific regulation. This guarantee does not cover defects or damage due to misuse, abuse, or normal wear and tear. In case of complaint, please send the Power Tool, undismantled, with the GUARANTEE CERTIFICATE found at the end of this Handling instruction, to a HiKOKI Authorized Service Center.

Noise Information

Noise characteristic values in accordance with EN60745: The typical A-weighted single-event sound power level

LWA,1s,d = 78 dB

The typical A-weighted single-event emission sound pressure level at work station LpA, 1s, d = 67 dB Uncertainty KpA: 3 dB

These values are tool-related characteristic values and do not represent the noise development at the point of use. Noise development at the point of use will for example depend on the working environment, the workpiece, the workpiece support and the number of driving operations, etc.

Depending on the conditions at the workplace and the form of the workpiece, individual noise attenuation measures may need to be carried out, such as placing workpieces on sound-damping supports, preventing workpiece vibration by means of clamping or covering, etc.

In special cases it is necessary to wear hearing protection equipment.

Vibration Information

The typical vibration characteristic value in accordance with EN60745: 1.7 m/s ^2

Uncertainty K: 1.5 m/s²

This values is a tool-related characteristic value and does not represent the influence to the hand-arm-system when using the tool. An influence 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, the wrokpiece support.

The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. It may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING

○ The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
○ Identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

NOTE

Due to HiKOKI's continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without prior notice.
