jammed fastener, the nailer may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
e) Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The mechanism may be under compression and the
fastener may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a jammed condition.
f) Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical cables. It is not designed for electric cable installation
and may damage the insulation of electric cable thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.
Additional nailer safety warnings
a) Improper handling and misuse of this tool could cause injury to the user and others.
b) This is a single-hand use tool. Only hold the tool by the grip. The other hand, head and other body parts
should be kept well away from the work area and the product during use, in order to avoid serious
personal injury.
c) The workpiece contact must be fully positioned above the workpiece to be fastened. Otherwise, the nail
could miss the workpiece and potentially cause serious injury.
GB
d) Never drive nails too close to the edge of a workpiece to be fastened. The workpiece could split and the
nail shoot out or ricochet, which could hit and injure the user or another person in the work area. The nail
could follow the grain in wood, which could cause the nail to protrude on the side of the workpiece or
deflect, possibly causing injury.
e) If possible, always clamp the workpiece to prevent unwanted movement. Driving nails into the workpiece
may cause it to move unexpectedly.
f) Beware of recoil. The nailer will recoil suddenly after releasing a nail into a workpiece. There might be
more recoil the denser the workpiece material. Restricting the recoil could result in a second nail being
released into the workpiece. Grip the tool firmly with one hand, and never use the other hand to restrict
the recoil. Allow the tool to do the work. Ignoring this warning could result in serious personal injury.
g) Never drive fasteners over other fasteners, or with the tool at an overly steep angle. Either of these might
cause a fastener to deflect and could result in an injury.
h) Always check the designated work area for hidden electrical wiring, water lines, and gas lines, etc. before
commencing work.
Battery & Charger Safety
WARNING: If Li-ion batteries are incorrectly used, stored or charged, they could become a fire, burn and
explosion hazard.
Use the battery charger correctly
• Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger before attempting to charge the
battery
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those supplied. Keep your battery charger
clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short or block air vents. Failure to follow these instructions may
cause overheating or fire
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard
• Examine the battery charger regularly for damage, especially the cord, plug and enclosure. If the battery
charger is damaged, it must not be used until it has been repaired
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance
WARNING: Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Battery & charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features that may be triggered during charging
or operation:
• Over-charge protection: charger automatically switches OFF when the battery has reached full-charge
capacity, protecting the internal components of the battery
• Over-discharge protection: prevents the battery from discharging beyond the recommended lowest safety
voltage
• Over-heat protection: sensor switches OFF if the battery becomes too hot during operation. This can
happen if the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods of time. Up to 30 minutes cooling time
may be required depending on the ambient temperature
• Overload protection: battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the maximum current draw is
exceeded, protecting the internal components. The battery will resume normal operation when the current
draw returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few seconds
• Short circuit protection: the battery will stop working immediately if a short circuit occurs; this prevents
damage to the battery and tool
Use batteries correctly
• Keep the battery out of the reach of children
• Only charge Li-ion batteries using the charger provided or designed specifically for your product
• Only use Li-ion batteries provided with a product or specifically designed to be compatible
• Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow these instructions may
cause overheating or fire
• When not in use, batteries should be stored at room temperature (approximately 20°C)
• Ensure that battery contacts cannot accidentally short in storage. Keep batteries clean; foreign objects
or dirt may cause a short. Keep away from other metal objects, for example paperclips, coins, keys, nails
and screws
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. This liquid may cause skin irritation or
burns. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical
help
• Do not open, disassemble, crush, heat above 60°C or incinerate. Do not dispose of in fire or similar
