Always wear eye protection with side shields. Everyday glasses
have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Eye protection provides protection against flying particles
both from the front and side should always be worn by the
operator and others in the work area when loading, operating
or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against
flying fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
Always remove the battery before adjusting the depth of drive wheel.
Do not pull back on the adjustment wheel, the wheel is designed to
be rotated.
Do not press the trigger while adjusting the depth of drive wheel.
Always select full sequential fi ring mode before adjusting the depth
of drive.
Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby when
adjusting the depth of drive.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of the product
can cause injury to yourself and others.
The product is designed for single-hand use. Do not hold the
product by the front of the magazine. Do not put hands, head, or
other parts of your body near the bottom of the magazine where the
nail exits the product, as this causes serious personal injury.
Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully positioned above
the workpiece. Positioning the workpiece contact only partially
above the workpiece could cause the nail to miss the workpiece
completely and result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive nails near the edge of the material. The workpiece may
split causing the nail to ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be
aware that the nail may follow the grain of the wood, causing it to
protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material or defl ect,
possibly causing injury.
Keep hands and body parts clear of the immediate work area.
Hold the workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep hands
and body out of potential harm. Make sure that 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 the back of the
product 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 product recoils immediately after driving a
fastener. This is a normal function of the product. Do not attempt to
prevent the recoil by holding the nailer against the work. Restriction
to the recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from the
nailer. Grip the handle fi rmly, let the product do the work and do not
place a second hand on top of the product or near the 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 product
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 the product. 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 reduces the potential for injury to yourself and
others.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the product.
BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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).
Use only M12 System chargers for charging M12 System battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers, and store them only
in dry rooms. Keep the battery packs and chargers 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.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the
charger (short circuit risk).
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and
product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the product,
battery pack, or charger in fl uid or allow 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.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The product is intended for driving nails into wood or similar soft
materials from a magazine containing a strip of suitable nails. The
nails that can be safely loaded into the magazine for the product are
described in the product specifi cation table in this manual. Do not
use any other type of nail or fi xing with the product. Do not operate
the product in contact actuation mode while working on scaff old,
ladder, or other platform where a change in working position is
required. Use only full sequential mode in this case. The product
should not be used for fi xing electric cables.
Do not use the product for any other purpose.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise during use and the operator should pay special
attention to avoid the following:
• injury caused by vibration
- Hold the product by designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.
• hearing injury caused by exposure to noise
- Restrict exposure and wear appropriate hearing protection
• injuries due to flying debris
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, heavy long
trousers, gloves, substantial footwear, and safety glasses, at
all times.
• health hazards caused by breathing toxic dusts
