Noise Information
Measured values determined according to EN 60745. Typically, the A-weighted noise
levels of the tool are:
Sound pressure level / Uncertainty
Sound power level / Uncertainty
Wear ear protection!
LpA=85.5 dB (A) / KpA=3 dB(A)
LWA=96.5 dB (A) / KWA=3 dB(A)
Vibration Information
Vibration total values (triaxial vector sum) determined according to EN 60745.
Vibration emission value / Uncertainty ah=2.5 m/s2 / K=1.5 m/s2
WARNING!
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in
accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different
applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the
accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
The product is designed for single-hand use. Do not hold the
product by the front of the magazine. Do not put hands, head, or
other parts of your body near the bottom of the magazine where
the fastener exits the product, as serious personal injury could be
caused.
Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully positioned above
the workpiece. Positioning the workpiece contact only partially
above the workpiece could cause the fastener to miss the workpiece
completely and result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The workpiece may
split causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a coworker. Be
aware that the fastener may follow the grain of the wood, causing
it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material or
GHÀHFWSRVVLEO\FDXVLQJLQMXU\
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 fastener against the material. The workpiece contact
may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.
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 dense material.
During normal use the product will recoil immediately after driving a
fastener. This is a normal function of the product. Do not attempt to
prevent the recoil by holding the nailer against the work. Restriction
to the recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from the

place second hand on top of product or near exhaust at any time.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the product at an

cause injury.
Always check the work area for hidden wiring, gas lines, water lines,
etc., before using the product on such work area.
After using the product in the contact actuation mode, switch it back
to the full sequential mode.
The driving depth of the fastener may be adjusted beyond air
pressure. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to
determine the required depth for the application.

table can be used with this product. Using incorrect fasteners may
lead to jamming or other malfunctions.
Always remove the battery before adjusting the depth of drive.
Do not press the trigger while adjusting the depth of drive.

of drive.
Do not point the product towards yourself or anyone nearby when
adjusting the depth of drive.
The product will restart automatically if stalled. Switch off the product
immediately if it stalls. Do not switch on the product again while it
is still stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high
reactive force. Determine why the product stalled and rectify this,
paying heed to the safety instructions.
Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between 0°C
and 40°C.
Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0°C and
40°C.
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging
system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C.

Do not use the product for any other purpose.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk
of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
)RUEDWWHU\SDFNVWRUDJHORQJHUWKDQGD\V
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture.
• Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods
Legislation requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with
local, national and international provisions and regulations.
• The user can transport the batteries by road without further

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION LI-ION BATTERY
The battery pack has overload protection that protects it from being
overloaded and helps to ensure long life. Under extreme stress the
battery electronics switch off the machine automatically. To restart,
switch the machine off and then on again. If the machine does not
start up again, the battery pack may have discharged completely. In
this case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
