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.
Explosion and fire hazard.
The fuel cell is an aerosol dispenser
with flammable contents. It 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).
l A lways charge the battery at an ambient
temperature of 0–40°C.
l A temperature of less than 0°C will result in over
charging, which is dangerous. The battery cannot
