the employer’s responsibility to enforce the use of
eye protection equipment by the tool operator and
other people in the work area. (Fig. A)
• Always wear appropriate personal hearing
and other protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss. (Fig. A)
• Disconnect battery pack from the tool when not
in use. Always remove battery pack and remove
fasteners from magazine before leaving the area
or passing the tool to another operator. Do not
carry tool to another work area in which changing
location involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs,
ladders, and the like, with battery pack connected.
Do not make adjustments, perform maintenance
or clear jammed fasteners while battery is in
place.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause
the tool, trigger, contact trip lock-off, or contact
trip to become inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger
or contact trip in the ON position. Do not remove
spring from contact trip. Make daily inspections for
free movement of trigger and contact trip. Uncontrolled
discharge could result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if
any portion of the tool, trigger, contact trip lock-
off, or contact trip is inoperable, disconnected,
altered, or not working properly. Damaged parts or
missing parts should be repaired or replaced before
use. Refer to Repairs.
• Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at
any time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool
as a working implement. (Fig. B)
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be
locked in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
• Always use contact trip lock-off when tool is not in
immediate use. Using the contact trip lock-off will
prevent accidental discharge.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and
balance at all times. Loss of balance may cause
personal injury. (Fig. C)
• Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not
discharge fasteners into open air, concrete,
stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any
material too hard for the fastener to penetrate.
Do not use the body of the tool or top cap as
a hammer. Discharged fasteners may follow
unexpected path and cause injury. (Figs. D, F)
• Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to
prevent injury from inadvertent release of the
pusher. (Fig. H)
• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for
detailed information on the proper maintenance of
the tool.
• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area.
Be sure the work surface is clear of any debris
and be careful not to lose footing when working in
elevated environments such as rooftops.
• Do not drive fasteners near edge of material.
The workpiece may split causing the fastener to
ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that
the nail may follow the grain of the wood (shiner),
causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of
the work material. Drive the chisel point of the nail
perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk of injury.
