will discharge a 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 removing a jammed fastener, the tacker may be accidentally activated if it
is plugged in.
• 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.
• Do not use this tacker for fastening electrical cables. It is not designed for
electric cable installation and may damage the insulation of electric cables
thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.
ADDITIONAL NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
• Do not use nailer:
– where the user is required to climb ladders or
other elevated areas with a loaded nailer
– in restricted and tight spaced areas where the
nailer's contact trip is at high risk of being bumped
– where other people are likely to come within the
firing path of the nailer or there is a foreseeable
risk of them being struck by a flying nail (e.g. by
ricochet or deflection).
WARNING: When using any nailer, all safety
precautions, as outlined below, should be followed to
avoid the risk of death or serious injury. Read and
understand all instructions before operating the tool.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live"
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator.
• Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation
material, or dust which could harm operator's eyes.
Operator and others in work area MUST wear safety
glasses with side shields. These safety glasses
must conform to AS/NZS1337 requirements. It is 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
FIG. A
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 or trigger lock-off, to become
inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger in the ON
position. Do not remove spring from contact trip.
Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger.
Uncontrolled discharge could result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if any

portion of the tool, trigger, or trigger lock-off is
inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working
properly. Damaged parts or missing parts should be
repaired or replaced before use. Refer to Repairs.
