■
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
stapling into hard or dense material.
■
During normal use the product will recoil immediately
after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of
the product. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by
holding the product against the work. Restriction to the
recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from
the product. Grip the handle firmly, let the product do
the work and do not place second hand on top of the
product 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 product at an overly steep angle as this may cause
deflection 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.
■
The adjusted driving depth of the fastener can be
greater than the depth you require. 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 product
specifications table can be used with the product.
Using incorrect fasteners may lead to jamming or other
malfunctions.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Always remove the battery before adjusting the depth
of drive.
■
Do not pull back on the depth adjustment knob. The
knob is designed to be rotated.
■
Do not press the trigger while adjusting the depth of
drive knob.
■
Do not point the product towards yourself or anyone
nearby when adjusting the depth of drive.
