CORDLESS AUTO HAMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Always assume that the tool contains nails.
Careless handling of the Auto Hammer can result in
unexpected firing of nails and personal injury.
2. Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby.
Unexpected triggering will discharge the nail causing an
injury.
3. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed
firmly against the workpiece.
If the tool is not contact with the workpiece, the nail may
be deflected away from your target.
4. Disconnect the tool from the power source when
the nail jams in the tool.
While removing a jammed nail, the Auto Hammer may
be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
5. Do not use this Auto Hammer for fastening electrical
cables.
It is not designed for electric cable installation and may
damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing
electric shock or fire hazards.
6. Wear ear protectors
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
7. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
8. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Make sure to securely hold the tool during
operation.
Failure to do so can result in accidents or injuries.
(Fig. 12)
2. Safe operation through correct usage.
This tool was designed for driving nails into wood and
similar materials. Use it for its intended purpose only.
3. Be careful of ignition and explosions.
Since sparks may fly during nailing, 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.
4. 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 the nails
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.
5. Protect your ears and head.
When engaged in nailing work please wear ear muers
and head protection. Also, depending on condition,
ensure that surrounding people also wear ear muers
and head protection.
6. Pay attention to those working close to you.
It would be very dangerous if nails 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 nail outlet.
7. Never point the nail outlet towards people.
Always assume the tool contains
fasteners.
If the nail outlet is pointed towards
people, serious accidents may be
caused if you mistakenly discharge the
tool. When connecting and disconnecting the battery,
during nail loading or similar operations, be sure the nail
outlet is not pointed towards anyone (including yourself).
Even when no nails 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.

8. Check rod before use.
Make sure the rod operates properly. Never use the Auto
Hammer unless the rod is operating properly, otherwise
the Auto Hammer could drive a nail unexpectedly. Do
not tamper with or remove the rod, otherwise the rod
becomes inoperable.
9. Use specified nails only.
Never use nails other than those specified and described
in these instructions.
10. Be careful when connecting the battery.
When connecting the battery and loading nails in
order not to fire the tool by mistake, make sure of the
followings.
Do not touch the trigger.
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 nail outlet.
11. Do not carelessly place your finger on the trigger.
Do not place your finger on the trigger except when actually
nailing. If you carry this tool or hand it to someone while
having your finger on the trigger, you may inadvertently
discharge a nail and thus cause an accident.
12. Press the nail outlet firmly against the material to
be nailed.
When driving in nails, press the nail outlet firmly against
the material to be nailed. If the outlet is not applied
properly, the nails may rebound.
13. Keep hands and feet away from the firing head
when using.
It is very dangerous for a nail to hit the
hands or feet by mistake.
14. 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 nail currently being driven in
comes into contact with a previous nail or a knot in the
wood.
15. Take care when nailing thin boards or the corners
of wood.
When nailing thin boards, the nails may pass right
through, as may also be the case when nailing the
corners of wood due to deviation of the nails. 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 nail.
16. Simultaneous nailing on both sides of the same
wall is dangerous.
Under no circumstances should nailing be performed on
both sides of a wall at the same time. This would be very
dangerous since the nails might pass through the wall
and thus cause injuries.
17. 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 scaoldings, stairs, ladders or
ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,
– closing boxes or crates,
– fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on vehicles
and wagons
18. Remove all remaining nails and battery from Auto
Hammer when:
1) doing maintenance and inspection;
2) checking proper operation of rod 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 or repair the Auto Hammer
unless you have removed battery and all remaining nails
from the Auto Hammer.
The Auto Hammer should never be left unattended since
people who are not familiar with the Auto Hammer might
handle it and injure the themselves.
19. When cleaning the power tool, do not use gasoline
or other inflammable liquids.
If vapour from an inflammable liquid gets into the power
tool, there is a danger that sparks produced when
stapling etc. may cause an explosion.
20. The operating environment for this device is
between 0°C and 40°C so ensure use within this
temperature range. The device may fail to operate
below 0°C or above 40°C.
21. NEVER allow magnets (or similar magnetic devices)
to be adjacent to the Auto Hammer, because the
Auto Hammer has a magnet inside.
Doing so will cause a failure or risk of injury by
malfunction.
22. Resting the unit after continuous work.
23. The power tool is equipped with a temperature
protection circuit to protect the motor. Continuous
work may cause the temperature of the unit to rise,
activating the temperature protection circuit and
automatically stopping operation. If this happens,
allow the power tool to cool before resuming use.
24. This product may cease to operate when an
abnormality is detected.
25. Do not look directly into the light. Such actions could
result in eye injury.
