WARNING
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
– Lead from lead-based paints.
– Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
– Work in a well-ventilated area.
– Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
– Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
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 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
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
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. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, 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.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
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.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
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 nger on the switch, or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

4
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
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.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction
of a second.
Power tool use and care
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.
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.
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.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and 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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
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 re.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or
temperature above 265 °F (130°C) may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.

Service
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.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR AUTO HAMMER
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Hold power tools by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Do not insert or try to insert your finger into the hammer sleeve at any time, failure to do
so could result in personal injury. Your nger may get hurt.
Do not stare into the LED worklight directly; never direct the worklight into others’ eyes.
Never put your hand continuously on the nail when hammering. Only use your hand to
root the nail on the workpiece at the beginning of hammering.
This auto hammer is suggested to be used for the nails with length no more than 3-1/2
inches / 89 mm (Penny Size: 16d).
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform before hammering. Holding the work by hand against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual carefully. Learn its applications and
limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock, re or serious injury.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are
always in operation condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your
battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, re or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and
possibly injury.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of electric shock.
For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the
temperature is more than 32℉(0℃) but less than 104℉(40℃). Do not store outside or in
vehicles.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may
use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, also loan them these instructions,

AVERTISSEMENT
• La poussière créée pendant le ponçage, le sciage, le polissage, le perçage et d’autres acti-
vités liées à la construction peut contenir des produits chimiques reconnus par l’État de la
Californie comme étant la cause de cancers, d’anomalies congénitales et d’autres problèmes
liés aux fonctions reproductrices. Voici des exemples de ces produits chimiques :
–Plomb provenant de peintures à base de plomb.
–Silice cristallisée contenue dans les briques, le ciment et d’autres produits de maçonnerie.
–Arsenic et chrome contenus dans le bois d’œuvre traité avec des produits chimiques.
• Les risques liés à l’exposition à ces produits va-rient selon le nombre de fois où vous
pratiquez ces activités. Pour réduire votre exposition à ces produits chimiques :
–travaillez dans un endroit bien ventilé;
–munissez-vous de l’équipement de sécurité ap-prouvé tel que des masques antipoussières
conçus spécialement pour ltrer les particules microscopiques;
–évitez l’exposition prolongée à la poussière causée par le ponçage mécanique, le sciage, le
polissage, le perçage et d’autres activités liées à la construction. Portez un équipement de
pro-tection et lavez à l’eau et au savon toutes les parties exposées. Les poussières pénétrant
dans votre bouche ou dans vos yeux et les poussières se déposant sur votre peau peuvent
causer l’absorption de produits chimiques dangereux.

AVERTISSEMENTS DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRAUX RELATIFS AUX
OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES
AVERTISSEMENT Lisez tous les avertissements et toutes les ins-tructions,
illustrations et spécifications fournis avec cet outil
électrique. Le non-respect des consignes de sécurité ci-dessous peut occasionner un choc
électrique, un in-cendie ou des blessures graves.
CONSERVEZ TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AFIN DE
POUVOIR LES CON-SULTER ULTÉRIEUREMENT.
L’expression « outil électrique » utilisée dans les avertissements correspond aux outils
électriques alimentés sur secteur (à l) ou alimentés par piles (sans l).
Mesures de sécurité dans l’aire de travail
Maintenez l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les aires de travail sombres et en-
combrées sont propices aux accidents.
N’utilisez pas d’outils électriques dans un en-droit présentant un risque d’explosion,
par exemple en présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflam-mables. Les outils
électriques produisent des étincelles pouvant causer un incendie en raison de la poussière et
des fumées.
Gardez les enfants et les autres personnes à l’écart lorsque vous utilisez un outil
électrique. Une distraction peut vous faire perdre la maîtrise de l’outil.
Consignes de sécurité relatives à l’électricité
Les fiches des outils électriques doivent cor-respondre à la prise. Ne modifiez jamais
la fiche de quelque façon que ce soit. N’utilisez pas d’adaptateur avec les outils
électriques mis à la terre. L’utilisation de ches non modiées dans les prises compatibles
réduit les risques de choc électrique.
Évitez de toucher à des surfaces mises à la terre, par exemple, un tuyau, un radiateur,
une cuisi-nière ou un réfrigérateur. Le contact du corps avec une surface mise à la terre
augmente les risques de choc électrique.
N’exposez pas les outils électriques à la pluie ni à tout environnement humide. L’inltration
d’eau dans un outil électrique augmente les risques de choc électrique.
N’utilisez pas le cordon d’alimentation de façon à l’endommager. Ne transportez jamais
un outil électrique en le tenant par son cordon, et ne tirez jamais sur le cordon pour le
débrancher. Tenez le cordon d’alimentation éloigné des sources de chaleur, de l’huile,
des objets cou-pants et des pièces mobiles. Les risques de choc électrique sont plus
élevés si le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé ou emmêlé.
Lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique à l’extérieur, utilisez une rallonge conçue pour
être utilisée à l’extérieur. Ce type de rallonge réduit les risques de choc électrique.
Si vous n’avez d’autre choix que d’utiliser un outil électrique dans un endroit humide,
utilisez une alimentation protégée par un disjoncteur différentiel. L’utilisation d’un
disjoncteur dif-férentiel réduit les risques de choc électrique.
Sécurité personnelle
Soyez vigilant, prêtez attention à ce que vous faites et usez de votre jugement lorsque
vous utilisez un outil électrique. N’utilisez pas un outil électrique lorsque vous êtes
fatigué ou sous l’effet de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un moment d’inattention
lorsque vous utilisez des outils électriques peut occasionner des blessures graves.

Utilisez un équipement individuel de protec-tion. Portez toujours des lunettes de sécurité.
Le port d’équipement de protection, comme un masque antipoussières, des chaussures de
sécu-rité antidérapantes, un casque de protection et des protecteurs auditifs, lorsque les
conditions l’exigent, réduit les risques de blessures.
Prenez des mesures afin d’éviter que l’outil se mette en marche accidentellement.
Assu-rez-vous que l’interrupteur est à la position d’arrêt avant de brancher l’outil sur
une source d’alimentation ou un bloc-piles, de ramasser l’outil ou de le transporter.
Transporter les outils électriques avec le doigt sur la gâchette ou brancher les outils lorsque
l’interrupteur est à la position de marche augmente les risques d’accident.
Retirez toutes les clés de réglage de l’outil électrique avant de mettre celui-ci en marche.
Une clé de réglage oubliée sur une pièce rotative de l’outil électrique peut occasionner des
blessures graves.
Ne vous étirez pas pour étendre votre portée. Gardez une posture sécuritaire et un bon
équi-libre en tout temps. Cela vous permet de mieux maîtriser l’outil électrique lorsque des
situations inattendues se présentent.
Habillez-vous convenablement. Ne portez pas de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Gardez
vos cheveux, vos vêtements et vos gants loin des pièces mobiles. Les vêtements amples,
les bijoux et les cheveux longs risquent de se prendre dans les pièces en mouvement.
Si un dispositif permet de raccorder un dé-poussiéreur, assurez-vous que celui-ci est
branché et utilisé correctement. L’emploi d’un dépoussiéreur contribue à réduire les dangers
liés à la pous-sière.
Restez toujours sur vos gardes et suivez les principes de sécurité des outils, même s’il
s’agit d’un outil que vous utilisez fréquemment. Il suft d’être négligent une fraction de
seconde pour se blesser gravement.
Utilisation et entretien d’un outil électrique
Ne forcez pas l’outil électrique. Utilisez l’outil électrique approprié à la tâche que vous
sou-haitez accomplir. L’utilisation de l’outil élec-trique approprié permet d’obtenir de meilleurs
résultats, de façon plus sécuritaire, selon le ré-gime de fonctionnement prévu.
N’utilisez pas l’outil électrique si l’interrupteur ne fonctionne pas. Tout outil électrique qui
ne peut être commandé au moyen de l’interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.
Débranchez la fiche de la prise ou retirez, si possible, le bloc-piles de l’outil électrique
avant d’effectuer des réglages, de changer d’accessoire ou de le ranger. Ces mesures de
sécurité pré-ventives réduisent les risques de mise en marche accidentelle de l’outil électrique.
Rangez les outils électriques inutilisés hors de la portée des enfants et ne laissez pas
les personnes ne connaissant pas bien l’outil ou ces instruc-tions utiliser l’outil. Les
outils électriques sont dangereux s’ils se retrouvent entre les mains d’utilisateurs qui ne savent
pas s’en servir.
Entretenez vos outils électriques et vos acces-soires. Vérifiez les pièces mobiles pour
vous assurer qu’elles ne sont pas désalignées, en-rayées, brisées, ou dans un état
qui pourrait nuire à leur fonctionnement. Si l’outil électrique est endommagé, faites-le
réparer avant de l’utiliser. De nombreux accidents sont provo-qués par des outils électriques
mal entretenus.
Gardez vos outils tranchants affûtés et propres. Des outils tranchants bien entretenus dont
les lames sont affûtées risquent moins de se bloquer et sont plus faciles à maîtriser.
Utilisez l’outil électrique, les accessoires, les embouts et les autres éléments
conformément aux présentes instructions, en tenant compte des conditions de travail
et du travail à effectuer. L’utilisation de l’outil électrique à des ns autres que celles pour
lesquelles il a été conçu pourrait créer une situation dangereuse.
