Note: The vibration level specified in these instructions has been
measured in accordance with a standardized measuring procedure
specified in EN60745 and can be use for equipment comparisons.

10 GB/IE/NI
The specified vibration emission value can also be used to make an
initial exposure estimate.
The vibration level varies in accordance with the use of the power tool
and may be higher than the value specified in these instructions in some
cases. Regular use of the electric tool in such a way may cause the
users to underestimate the vibration. Try to keep the vibration loads as
low as possible. Measures to reduce the vibration load are, e.g. wea-
ring gloves and limiting the working time. All states of operation much
be taken into account (e.g. time when the power tool is switched off
and time where the power tool is switched on but running without load).
General power tools safety warnings
Read all safety directions and instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire 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.
Work area safety
a) Keep 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 flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

11GB/IE/NI
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
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. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfa ces,
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 carry-
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep 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 exten-
sion 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 unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
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 influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

12 GB/IE/NI
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, 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 power source
and/ or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger 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 rotat-
ing 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 unex-
pected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
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.
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.

13GB/IE/NI
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. 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 op-
eration. 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.
Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.

14 GB/IE/NI
c) When 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 fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occ urs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medi-
cal help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Remove the jammed staple from the magazine 4.
Note: Do not trigger the staple gun when empty to prevent wear.
Determining the Staple Length
Consider two factors when determining the correct staple length:
- the thickness of the material being fastened
- the composition (hardness) of the material being fastened.
4 – 6mm staple or 6 – 8 mm nail in length will typically suffice when
driving into plywood and fiber board.
8–10mm staple or 10 mm nail in length will typically suffice when
fastening into softwood such as pinewood.
The crown of the staple or head of the nail should be flushed with the
top of the material being fastened as shown.
If the crown of the staple or head of the nail is not flush with the top of
the material being fastened, it means it is too long. In this case, use the
next shorter staple or nail for optimal results.
