ADDITIONAL NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
should be followed to avoid the risk of death or serious injury. Read and understand all
instructions before operating the tool.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
• Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation material,
or dust which could harm operator's eyes. Operator and
others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields.
These safety glasses must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements
(approved glasses have "Z87" printed or stamped on them. It is
the employer's responsibility to enforce the use of eye protection
equipment by the tool operator and other people in the work area.

• Always wear appropriate personal hearing and other protection during use. Under
some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss. (Fig. A)
• Disconnect battery pack from the tool when not in use. Always remove battery
pack and remove fasteners from magazine before leaving the area or passing
the tool to another operator. Do not carry tool to another work area in which
changing location involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like, with
battery pack connected. Do not make adjustments, perform maintenance or clear
jammed fasteners while battery is in place.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger, trigger lock-off, or
contact trip to become inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip in the
ON position. Do not remove spring from contact trip. Make daily inspections for free
movement of trigger and contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool, trigger,
trigger lock-off, or contact trip is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working
properly. Damaged parts or missing parts should be
repaired or replaced before use. Refer to Maintenance.
• Do not alter or modify the tool in any way.
• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
• Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any time.
No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a working
implement. (Fig. B)
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. When tool is not
in use, it should be locked in a safe place, out of the reach
of children.
• Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the
trigger. Accidental discharge could result.
• Always use trigger lock-off when tool is not in immediate
use. Using the trigger lock-off will prevent accidental
