SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listedbelowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/or
seriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated(corded)powertoolorbattery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Cordless nailer safety warnings
1. Always assume that the tool contains fasten-
ers. Careless handling of the nailer can result in
unexpectedringoffastenersandpersonalinjury.
2. Do not point the tool towards yourself or any-
one nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge
thefastenercausinganinjury.
3. 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 fastener
maybedeected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nailermaybe
accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
5. Use caution while removing a jammed fas-
tener.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 nailer for fastening electrical
cables. Itisnotdesignedforelectriccableinstalla-
tionandmaydamagetheinsulationofelectriccables
therebycausingelectricshockorrehazards.
7. Keep hands and feet away from the ejection
port area.
8. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
9. Always remove the battery cartridge before
loading the fasteners, adjustment, inspection,
maintenance or after operation is over.
10. Make sure no one is nearby before operation.
Never attempt to drive fasteners from both the

senting a grave danger.
11. Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
when working in high locations.
12. Never use fastener driving tools marked with
the symbol "Do not use on scaffoldings, lad-
ders" for specic 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;
• ttingtransportationsafetysystemse.g.on
vehicles and wagons.
13. Check walls, ceilings, oors, roong and
the like carefully to avoid possible electrical
shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by
stapling into live wires, conduits or gas pipes.
14. Use only fasteners specied in this manual.
The use of any other fasteners may cause
malfunction of the tool.
15. Do not tamper with the tool or attempt to use it
for other than driving fasteners.
16. Do not operate the tool without fasteners. It
shortens the service life of the tool.
17. Stop driving operations immediately if you
