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 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. 
7. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses 
with side shield, and a full face shield when 
needed. 
8. Keep hands and feet away from the ejection 
port area. 
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 
inside and outside of wall at the same time. 
Fasteners may rip through and/or fly off, 
presenting 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. Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the 
like carefully to avoid possible electrical 
shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused 
by stapling into live wires, conduits or gas 
pipes. 
13. Use only fasteners specified in this manual. 
The use of any other fasteners may cause 
malfunction of the tool. 
14. Do not tamper with the tool or attempt to use it 
for other than driving fasteners. 
15. Do not operate the tool without fasteners. It 
shortens the service life of the tool. 
16. Stop driving operations immediately if you 
notice something wrong or out of the ordinary 
with the tool. 
17. Never fastener into any materials which may 
allow the fastener to puncture and fly through 
as a projectile. 
18. Never actuate the switch trigger and safety 
lever at the same time until you are prepared 
to fastener workpieces. Allow the workpiece to 
depress the safety lever. Never defeat its 
purpose by securing the safety lever back or 
by depressing it by hand. 
19. Never tamper with the safety lever. Check the 
safety lever frequently for proper operations. 
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
