ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Safe operation through correct usage.
This tool was designed for driving nails into wood and
similar materials. Use it for its intended purpose only.
2. Be careful of ignition and explosions.
Since sparks may fl y during nailing, it is dangerous to use
this tool near lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline,
gas, adhesives and similar infl ammable substances as
they may ignite or explode. Under no circumstances
should this tool therefore be used in the vicinity of such
infl ammable material.
3. Always wear eye protection (protective goggles).
When operating the power tool, always
wear eye protection, and ensure that
surrounding people wear eye protection
too. Eye protection should not be inferior to
the specifi cation set in AS/NZS 1337 Eye
protectors for industrial applications.
The possibility of fragments of the nails that were not
properly hit entering the eye is a threat to sight. Always
wear eye protection while operating this tool. Use either
eye protection or a wide vision mask over prescription
glasses.
Employers should always enforce the use of eye
protection equipment.
4. Protect your ears and head.
When engaged in nailing work please wear ear muffl ers
and head protection. Also, depending on condition,
ensure that surrounding people also wear ear muffl ers
and head protection. Hearing protection equipment
should be of a reputable make and manufactured to
an acceptable standard, for example AS/NZS 1270
Acoustics-Hearing protectors.
5. Pay attention to those working close to you.
It would be very dangerous if nails that were not properly
driven in should hit other people. Therefore, always pay
attention to the safety of the people around you when
using this tool. Always make sure that nobody's body,
hands or feet are close to the nail outlet.
6. Never point the nail outlet towards people.
Always assume the tool contains
fasteners.
If the nail outlet is pointed towards
people, serious accidents may be
caused if you mistakenly discharge the
tool. When connecting and disconnecting the battery,
during nail loading or similar operations, be sure the nail
outlet is not pointed towards anyone (including yourself).
Even when no nails are loaded at all, it is dangerous to
discharge the tool while pointing it at someone, so never
attempt to do so. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a
working implement.
7. Check push lever before use.
Make sure the push lever operates properly. (The push
lever may be called "Safety".) Never use the Nailer
unless the push lever is operating properly, otherwise
the Nailer could drive a fastener unexpectedly. Do not
tamper with or remove the push lever, otherwise the
push lever becomes inoperable.
8. Choice of triggering method is important.
Read and understand section titled "HOW TO USE THE
NAILER" on page 20.
9. Prior to using this product, make sure that it is
operating properly in accordance with the content
of "Testing the nailer" on page 19.
10. Use specifi ed nails only.
Never use nails other than those specifi ed and described
in these instructions.
11. Be careful when connecting the battery.
When connecting the battery and loading nails in
order not to fi re the tool by mistake, make sure of the
followings.
○ Do not touch the trigger.
○ Do not allow the fi ring head to contact with any
surface.
○ Keep the fi ring head down.
Strictly observe the above instructions, and always
make sure that no part of the body, hands or legs is
ever in front of the nail outlet.
12. Do not carelessly place your fi nger on the trigger.
Do not place your fi nger on the trigger except when actually
nailing. If you carry this tool or hand it to someone while
having your fi nger on the trigger, you may inadvertently
discharge a nail and thus cause an accident.
