Bostitch GF28WW Safety & Operating Instructions Manual page 9

Keep away from ignition sources –
no smoking. Keep out of reach of
children.
● Make sure you read and follow the instructions in
'Additional Safety Equipment' detailed above.
●
Only use outside or in well ventilated
areas.
This tool exhausts carbon monoxide
which are a danger to health when inhaled. This tool
must not be used in enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas. Do not inhale.
● Before using the power tool, check the contact arm.
The contact arm and chamber work in conjunction
for this device to operate. Before using the power
tool, make sure that the contact arm operates
properly. Without nails, fuel cell and battery loaded
into the power tool, check the following- pull the
magazine feeder latch back to disengage the nail
lockout and, with the device facing upward, press
down the contact arm then confirm that the it
securely returns to its original position. If the
contact arm operates abnormally, do not use the
power tool until it has been inspected and repaired.
The contact arm operation becomes especially
heavy in low temperatures and drive operations may
not function. When pulling back the feeder knob, the
contact arm must move smoothly. Furthermore, the
contact arm must never be modified or removed.
●
Do not touch around the exhaust
outlet.
This tool produces hot exhaust
gases that may ignite flammable materials.
The contact arm and nose will become hot when
in use and get hotter after prolonged or rapid use.
Do not touch with bare hands.
● Disconnect the battery and fuel cell and take out
any nails left in the magazine after use. Disconnect
the battery and fuel cell from the tool before doing
tool maintenance, cleaning a jammed fastener,
leaving the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or after use. It is very dangerous if a nail is
fired by mistake.
● The operating environment for this device is
between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F) so ensure that
use is within this temperature range. The device
may fail to operate below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C
(104°F).
● Always charge the battery at an ambient
temperature of 0–40°C.
● A temperature of less than 0°C will result in over
charging, which is dangerous. The battery cannot
be charged at a temperature greater than 40°C. The
most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20–
25°C.
● Do not use the charger continuously. When one
charge is complete, leave the charger for about 15
minutes before beginning the next charge.
● Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole where
the rechargeable battery fits.
● Never disassemble the rechargeable battery or
charger.
●
Never short-circuit the rechargeable
battery.
Short-circuiting the battery will
cause a great electric current and the battery will
overheat. This will result in the burning of, or
damage to the battery.
● Do not dispose of the battery in fire. If the battery is
burnt, it may explode.
● Using an exhausted battery will damage the
charger.
● As soon as the post-charging battery life becomes
too short for practical use, recycle according to
your local legislation.
● Do not insert objects into the air ventilation slots of
the charger. Inserting metal or flammable objects
into the charger's air ventilation slots will result in
an electrical shock hazard or damage to the
charger.
●
Do not inhale its contents.
In case of inhalation, the person
affected should be taken into the
open air and brought into a comfortable position.
● Expanding gases cause low temperatures. Fluid
gases might cause injuries when coming into
contact with skin or eyes. In case of contact with
skin, wash the contact surface carefully with warm
water and soap and apply a skin cream when dry. In
case of contact with eyes, rinse the open eyes
under running water. Contact a doctor if necessary.
● Store fuel cells in a well ventilated area.
Do not store above 50°C (120°F) (for example in
direct sunlight or in a vehicle). Do not expose to an
open flame and sparks. Do not puncture or open the
fuel cell. Do not refill, reclaim or recycle the fuel cell.
Dispose of according to local regulations for aerosol
products. Do not dispose of fuel cell with other
scrap for recycling. Keep out of reach of children.
