g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
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 re-
paired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, 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 and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion 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. Prop-
erly 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 in-
structions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Tackers
Always assume that the tool contains fas-
teners. Careless handling of the tacker can
result in unexpected firing of fasteners and
personal injury.
Do not point the tool towards yourself or
anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will
discharge the fastener causing an injury.
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.
Disconnect the tool from the power source
when the fastener jams in the tool. While re-
moving a jammed fastener, the tacker may be
accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
Use caution while removing a jammed fas-
tener. The mechanism may be under com-
pression and the fastener may be forcefully
discharged while attempting to free a
jammed condition.
Do not use this tacker for fastening electri-
cal cables. It is not designed for electric ca-
ble installation and may damage the insula-
tion of electric cables thereby causing
electric shock or fire hazards.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utili-
ty lines are hidden in the work area or call
the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can
lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an
electric shock.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
