Stapler Safety Warnings - HART HPNR75 20V Operator's Manual

STAPLER SAFETY WARNINGS

 Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
Careless handling of the stapler can result in unexpected
firing of fasteners and personal injury.
 Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener
causing an injury.
 Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
against the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with
the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected away from
your target.
 Disconnect the tool from the power source when the
fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed
fastener, the stapler may be accidentally activated if it is
plugged in.
 Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The
mechanism may be under compression and the fastener
may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a
jammed condition.
 Do not use this stapler for fastening electrical cables.
It is not designed for electric cable installation and may
damage the insulation of electic cables thereby causing
electric shock or fire hazards.
 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fastener may
contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
 Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this power
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when assembling parts,
operating the tool, or performing maintenance.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not
using your battery tool or when changing accessories.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious personal injury.
 Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
 Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
 Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products
in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F
or more than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water.
If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water
for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical
attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
