WARNING
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
12
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
Eye protection does not fit all operators in the
same way. Make sure the eye protection chosen
has side shields or provides protection from
flying debris both from the front and sides. The
employer is responsible for enforcing the use of
eye protection by the operator and other people
in the work area. When required, wear head pro-
tection in accordance with ANSI Z89.1.
To reduce the risk of injury to yourself and others,
test the tool before beginning work each day ac-
cording to the "Required Daily Testing" section.
Do not use the tool unless you thoroughly under-
stand the actuation mode selected.
Remove battery pack and staples before leav-
ing the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another person.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury.
Do not use this tool 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.
NEVER wedge or hold back the workpiece con-
tact mechanism during operation of the tool.
Never attempt to clear a jammed workpiece con-
tact by grasping the discharge area of the tool.
Doing so could result in serious injury.
To avoid serious injury, do not attempt to prevent
the recoil by holding the tool too firmly against
the work. Keep face and body away from the
tool. During normal use, the tool will recoil im-
mediately after driving a staple. This is a normal
function of the tool. Restriction to the recoil can
result in a second staple being driven when the
tool is in Contact Actuation mode. Grip the handle
firmly, let the tool do the work, and do not place
a second hand on top of the tool.
Always lock the trigger or remove the battery
pack any time the tool is not in use.
