IMPORTANT SAFETY 
INSTRUCTIONS 
 
FOR BATTERY CARTRIDGE 
1. Before using battery cartridge, read all 
instructions and cautionary markings on (1) 
battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product 
using battery. 
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge. 
3. If operating time has become excessively 
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may 
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns 
and even an explosion. 
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them 
out with clear water and seek medical 
attention right away. It may result in loss of 
your eyesight. 
5. Do not short the battery cartridge: 
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any 
conductive material. 
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a 
container with other metal objects such as 
nails, coins, etc. 
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water 
or rain. 
A battery short can cause a large current 
flow, overheating, possible burns and 
even a breakdown. 
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in 
locations where the temperature may reach or 
exceed 50 ゚C (122 ゚F). 
7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if 
it is severely damaged or is completely worn 
out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire. 
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life 
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely 
discharged. 
Always stop tool operation and charge the 
battery cartridge when you notice less tool 
power. 
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery 
cartridge. 
Overcharging shortens the battery service life. 
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room 
temperature at 10 ゚C - 40 ゚C (50 ゚F - 104 ゚F). 
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before 
charging it. 
4. Charge the Lithium-ion battery cartridge when 
you do not use it for more than six months. 
 
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 
 
CAUTION: 
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the 
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or 
checking function on the tool. 
 
Installing or removing battery cartridge 
Fig.1 
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or 
removal of the battery cartridge. 
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from 
the tool while sliding the button on the front of the 
cartridge. 
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on 
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing 
and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way 
until it locks in place with a little click. If you can 
see the red part on the upper side of the button, it 
is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red 
part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall 
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone 
around you. 
• Do not use force when inserting the battery 
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it 
is not being inserted correctly. 
 
Safety system 
 
WARNING: 
• Make sure all safety systems are in working order 
before operation. Failure to do so may cause 
personal injuries. 
 
Fig.2 
Fig.3 
Test safety systems for possible faulty operation before 
stapling as follows. 
1. Make sure that the tool is not loaded with staples 
before the test. 
2. The tool accidentally operates if only the trigger is 
pulled although the lever is not pulled. 
3. The tool does not operate when the trigger is 
pulled with the lever pulled. 
In case of 2 and 3 above, the safety systems are faulty.
