Milwaukee M18 FNCS18GS Original Instructions Manual page 27

Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area. Hold
workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep hands and body
out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured
before pressing the fastener against the material. The workpiece
contact may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly. Keep
face and body parts away from back of the tool cap when working
in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body,
especially when nailing into hard or dense material.
During normal use the tool will recoil immediately after driving a
fastener. This is a normal function of the tool. Do not attempt to
prevent the recoil by holding the stapler against the work.
Restriction to the recoil can result in a second fastener being
driven from the stapler. Grip the handle fi rmly, let the tool do the
work and do not place second hand on top of tool or near exhaust
at any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at
an overly steep angle as this may cause defl ection of fasteners
which could cause injury.
Always check the work area for hidden wiring, gas lines, water
lines, etc., before using the product on such work area.
After using the product in the contact actuation mode, switch it
back to the full sequential mode.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted beyond air pressure.
It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine
the required depth for the application.
Only fasteners matching the description in the Technical Data can
be used with this tool. Using incorrect fasteners may lead to
jamming or other malfunctions.
Do not select contact actuation mode when working on scaff olds,
ladders or platforms where you may need to move your body
position. You may unintentionally fi re a nail by inadvertent
activation of the workpiece contact while moving about if the
contact actuation mode is selected. When moving positions, select
full sequential activation or deactivate the product completely by
removing the battery pack. This will reduce the potential for injury
to yourself and others.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by
burning them. Milwaukee Distributors off er to retrieve old batteries
to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the
charger (short circuit risk).
Use only 18 V chargers for charging 18 V battery packs. Do not
use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash
it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
Warning! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery
pack or charger in fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can
cause a short circuit.
