PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE TOOL
1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
Danger to the eyes always exists due to the possibility of
dust being blown up by the exhausted air or of a fastener fly-
ing up due to the improper handling of the tool. For these
reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall always be worn
when operating the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye pro-
tection is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to
the requirements of the American National Standards Insti-
tute, ANSI Z87.1 (Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 DEC.
1989) and provide both frontal and side protection.
The employer is responsible to enforce the use of eye pro-
tection equipment by the tool operator and all other person-
nel in the work area.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields
alone do not provide adequate protection.
2. EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN SOME ENVI-
RONMENTS
As the working condition may include exposure to high noise
levels which can lead to hearing damage, the employer and
user should ensure that any necessary hearing protection is
provided and used by the operator and others in the work area.

charged as well as get broken, ignited or generate the heat.
(See Page 10 for MAX JC610M charger)
3Charge the Battery prior to use.
The new Battery or the one which has not been used for a
long period may not be fully charged due to self-discharge.
Be sure to charge it with MAX JC610M charger.
4Charge the Battery at the specified voltage.
Be sure to charge, using a 100-240 V AC plug socket (for
household use). Never charge at other than the specified
voltage. Neglect of this could cause combustion or heat
generation.
5Never use a transformer such as a booster for the pow-
er source of the charger.
Neglect of this causes a trouble or burnout of the charger.
6Never use an engine generator or DC power source to
charge the Battery.
Neglect of this causes a trouble or burnout of the charger.
7Never charge the Battery in the rain or in the place ex-
posed to water splash or moisture.
If it is charged in the wet condition, it could cause an electric
shock or short-circuiting, resulting in a fire due to burnout or
combustion.
8Never touch a power plug with a wet hand.
Holding it with a wet hand could cause an electric shock.

aDo not charge the Battery near any combustible sub-
stance.
bCharge the Battery in a well-ventilated area, protected
against the direct sunshine.
Charging in the direct sunshine could overheat the charger,
resulting in a burnout or fire.
cCharge the Battery at ambient temperature of 32°F (0°C)
to 104°F (40°C).
If the ambient temperature is less than 32°F (0°C) to 104°F
(40°C), charging may not be allowed, could result in a fire.
dDo not allow foreign objects into a ventilation hole or
Battery plug socket in the charger.
They cause an electric shock or trouble. Use in the place
free of dust.
eHandle a power cord with care.
If you hold the power cord of the AC adapter to carry or pull
it to disconnect from a plug socket, it will be damaged, re-
sulting in snapping or short-circuiting. Also, take care that it
will not come into contact with cutters, high-temperature
substances, oil or grease. Replace the damaged power
cord with a new one.
fOnce the Battery is disconnected from the tool body, be
sure to cover it with a pack cap, unless it is used.
In order to prevent short-circuiting, cover the terminal block
(metal section) of the unused Battery with the pack cap.
gNever short-circuit the terminal block (metal section) of
the Battery.
If it is short-circuited, a large current will run to overheat the
Battery, causing you a burn or damage on it.
hNever throw the Battery into a fire.
Neglect of this could cause an explosion.

Using the tool in that condition results in an accident.
If any abnormality is found, contact your nearest au-
thorized distributor.
8. UNPLUG THE CHARGER WHEN IT IS NOT USED
9. ONLY USE TOOL IN WELL VENTILATED AREA
If used in an ill-ventilated place, you could suffer from oxy-
gen starvation.
10. AVOID THE DIRECT SUNSHINE
Do not place the tool in a vehicle or a trunk where the tem-
perature could rise, because it could explode. A used empty
Fuel Cell still contains a combustible jet gas, which could
swell and explode a container into pieces.
11. NEVER USE THE TOOL NEAR THE VOLATILE COM-
BUSTIBLE SUBSTANCES
Never use the tool near gasoline, thinner, gas, paint or ad-
hesive agent, because it could ignite or explode.
12. KEEP TOOL AWAY FROM FIRE
13. BE SURE TO USE THE TOOL IN THE WORKING ENVI-
RONMENT OF 14°F (-10°C) TO 104°F (40°C), BECAUSE
THE TOOL BODY COULD BE DAMAGED, IGNITE OR
EXPLODE

into the work. It is dangerous to walk around carrying the
tool with the trigger pulled, and this and similar actions
should be avoided.
21. NEVER POINT THE DISCHARGE OUTLET TOWARD
YOURSELF AND OTHER PERSONNEL
If the discharge outlet is pointed toward people, serious ac-
cidents may be caused when misfiring. Be sure the dis-
charge outlet is not pointed toward people when the Fuel
Cell and the Battery are inserted or not, loading and unload-
ing the fasteners or similar operations.
22. USE SPECIFIED FASTENERS
The use of fasteners other than specified fasteners will
cause the tool malfunction. Be sure to use only specified
fasteners when operating the tool.
23. PLACE THE DISCHARGE OUTLET ON THE WORK SUR-
FACE PROPERLY
Failure to place the discharge outlet of the nose in a improp-
er manner can result in a fastener flying up and is extremely
dangerous.
24. KEEP HANDS AND BODY AWAY FROM THE DIS-
CHARGE OUTLET
When loading and using the tool, never place a hand or any
part of body in fastener discharge area of the tool. It is very
dangerous to hit the hands or body by mistake.

25. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS CLOSE TO THE EDGE
AND CORNER OF THE WORK AND THIN MATE RIAL
The workpiece is likely to split and the fastener could fly free
and hit someone.
26. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS ON TOP OF OTHER FAS-
TENERS
Driving fasteners of the top of other fasteners may cause
deflection fasteners which could cause injury.
27. REMOVING THE FASTENERS AFTER COMPLETING
OPERATION
If fasteners are left in the magazine after the completion of
operation, there is the danger of a serious accident occur-
ring prior to the resumption of operation, should the tool be
handled carelessly, or when inserting the Fuel Cell and the
Battery. For this reason, always remove all fasteners re-
maining in the magazine after completion of the operation.
28. CHECK OPERATION OF THE CONTACT TRIP MECHA-
NISM FREQUENTLY IN CASE OF USING A CONTACT
TRIP TYPE TOOL
Do not use the tool if the trip is not working correctly as ac-
cidental driving of a fastener may result.
Do not interfere with the proper operation of the contact trip
mechanism.
29. WHEN USING THE TOOL OUTSIDE OR ELEVATED
PLACE
When fastening roofs or similar slanted surface, start fas-
tening at the lower part and gradually work your way up.
Fastening backward is dangerous as you may loose your
foot place.
30. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF ANY PORTION OF THE TOOL
CONTROLS (e.g., TRIGGER, CONTACT ARM) IS INOP-
ERABLE, DISCONNECTED, ALTERED OR NOT WOK-
ING PROPERLY
31. NEVER ACTUATE THE TOOL INTO FREE SPACE
This will avoid any hazard caused by free flying fasteners
and excessive strain of the tool.
32. ALWAYS ASSUME THAT THE TOOL CONTAINS FAS-
TENERS
33. RESPECT THE TOOL AS A WORKING IMPLEMENT
34. NO HORSEPLAY
35. NEVER LOAD THE TOOL WITH FASTENERS WHEN
ANY ONE OF THE OPERATING CONTROLS (e.g., TRIG-
GER, CONTACT ARM) IS ACTIVATED
