SAFETY
2.4 General safety warnings for power tools
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re 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.
2.4.1 Work area safety
a) Keep the 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 ammable
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.
2.4.2 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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the 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 the 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.
2.4.3 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 inuence 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 masks, 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 the
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger 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.

EN
SAFETY
7
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.
2.4.4 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.
2.4.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and re.
c) When the 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 re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
2.4.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SAFETY
2.5 Safety instructions for stapling tools
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions in this manual and in the battery charger
operating instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious
injury. The following hazards can result in serious injuries.
Stapling tool safety warnings:
Always assume that the tool contains staples. Careless handling of the stapling tool can
result in unexpected ring of staples and personal injury.
Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will dis-
charge the staple causing an injury.
Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed rmly against the workpiece. If the tool is
not in contact with the workpiece, the staple may be deected away from your target.
Disconnect the tool from the power source when the staple jams in the tool. While remov-
ing a jammed staple, the stapling tool may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
Use caution while removing a jammed staple. The mechanism may be under
compression and the staple may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a jammed
condition.
Do not use this tool 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
re hazards.
Danger of jamming and crushing. Do not place hands or other body parts between or under
the tool and the packaged goods during the stapling process.
Loose and falling packaged goods in the case of faulty stapling.
Check the staple seal. Never transport packaged goods if loads look unbalanced or incorrect.
Risk of explosion in EX (Explosive) zones. The tool must not be used in areas where explo-
sions can occur as a result of the environment or products being used.
Damage due to humidity. Do not clean the tool with water or steam. When using the tool
outdoors, protect it from rain. If the tool or the battery has water damage, it can cause re or
explosion.
Compressed air for cleaning work, risk of injury. When cleaning with compressed air, no air
must penetrate the body via skin lesions. Use only clean and dry compressed air. Use a blow
gun with a multi-hole nozzle. Wear eye protection.

EN
SAFETY

CAUTION
The following dangers can result in minor or moderate injury:
Noise exposure
Wearing hearing protection is recommended.
Vibration exposure
The vibration level of these tools is lower than the permissible exposure limit.
The vibration level specied in this manual has been measured according to a measurement
method standardised in EN 60745 and can be used for the comparison of power tools with each
other. It is also suitable for a preliminary estimation of the vibration load.
The vibration emission value measured may, however, deviate from the specied value depend-
ing on the actual application and the manner of operation. Under certain circumstances, the
vibration load may be increased temporarily or may be signicantly smaller over the entire work
period. For a more accurate assessment of the actual vibration load, the times should also be
considered when the device is switched off, or is running but not actually being used. This could
reduce the vibration load signicantly over the entire work period.
Therefore, dene additional safety measures against the effect of vibrations for the protection of
the operator, such as, for example: maintenance of the tool and organisation of work processes.
Warning sign on protection plate at the bottom of the stapler and on rear
housing.
Since the box detection sensors do not distinguish between cardboard and e.g. by the ngers
of the operator, there is a risk that the operator may be injured when operating the trigger by
driving staples (extending driver blade and clinchers).
ATTENTION
Avoid damage to the tool:
Use only original JOSEF KIHLBERG staples.
Using non-original staples may impair operational safety and will void the warranty and any
liability.
Use only original JOSEF KIHLBERG spare parts.
Using non-original spare parts may impair operational safety will void the warranty and any
liability.
Use only Bosch batteries and chargers.
Batteries and chargers are described in Section “3.7”.
