GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS



WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE

REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) powertool.

1) Work Area Safety

a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas inviteaccidents.

b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust orfumes.

c ) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.

2) Electrical Safety

a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electricshock.

b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed orgrounded.

c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock.

d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electricshock.

e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electricshock.

f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI

reduces the risk of electricshock.

3) Personal Safety

a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personalinjury.

b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personalinjuries.

c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your

finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invitesaccidents.

d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personalinjury.

e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations.

f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or

long hair can be caught in movingparts.

g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust

collection can reduce dust-relatedhazards.

4) Power Tool Use and Care

a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct power

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it wasdesigned.

b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not

turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must berepaired.

c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the power toolaccidentally.

d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrainedusers.

e ) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained powertools.

f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.

g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc.

in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result in a hazardoussituation.

ENGLISH

5) Battery Tool Use and Care

a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another batterypack.

b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury andfire.

c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or afire.

d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid

ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns.

6) Service

a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified

repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool ismaintained.

Nailer Safety Warnings

• Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.

Careless handling of the nailer 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 nailer may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.

• Do not use this nailer 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.

Additional Nailer Safety Warnings



WARNING: When using any nailer, all safety precautions, as outlined below, should be followed to avoid the risk of death or serious injury. Read and understand all instructions before operating the tool.



WARNING: IF THE TOOL HAS BEEN DROPPED OR YOU SUSPECT TOOL IS DAMAGED, PERFORM TOOL OPERATION CHECK AS DEFINED IN THE MODE SELECTION SECTION OF THE MANUAL. IF

IT DOESN’T PERFORM ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, STOP USING THE TOOL AND HAVE IT SERVICED AT AN AUTHORIZED BOSTITCH SERVICE CENTER.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 discharge.

• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance may cause personal injury.

• Use the tool only for its intended use. Do not

discharge fasteners into open air, concrete, stone, extremely hard woods, knots or any material too hard for the fastener to penetrate. Do not use the

ENGLISH

body of the tool as a hammer. Discharged fasteners may follow unexpected path and cause injury.

• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs sections for detailed information on the proper maintenance of the tool.

• Always operate the tool in a clean, lighted area. Be sure the work surface is clear of any debris and be careful not to lose footing when working in elevated environments such as rooftops.

• Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The workpiece may split causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail may follow the grain of the wood (shiner), causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material. Drive the chisel point of the nail perpendicular to the grain to reduce risk of injury.

• Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep an angle. Personal injury from strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted nails may result.

• Always keep fingers clear of contact trip to prevent

injury from inadvertent release of the pusher

• 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 nailer against the material. The contact trip may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.

• Do not use tool in the presence of flammable dust, gases or fumes. The tool may produce a spark that could ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail into another nail may also cause a spark.

• Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing into hard or dense material.

• Grip tool firmly to maintain control while allowing tool to recoil away from work surface as fastener is driven.

• Choice of triggering method is important. Check the manual for triggering options.

• When actuating the nailer, always keep tool in control. Inaccurate placement of tool can result in misdirected discharge of a fastener.

• Do not drive nails onto the heads of other fasteners. Strong recoil, jammed fasteners, or ricocheted nails may result.

• Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A protruding nail may cause injury.

Bump/Sequential Selector Switch Sequential Action

• When using the tool in sequential action, do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly against the workpiece.

Bump Action

• When using the tool in bump action, be careful of unin tentional double fires resulting from tool recoil. Unwanted fasteners may be driven if the contact

trip is allowed to accidentally re-contact the work surface.

• When bump actuating the framing nailer, always keep tool in control. Inaccurate placement of tool can result in misdirected discharge of a nail.

To Avoid Double Fires:

• Do not engage the tool against the work surface with a strong force.

• Allow the tool to recoil fully after each actuation.

• Use sequential action trigger.

• depth adjustment: To reduce risk of serious injury

from accidental actuation when attempting to adjust depth, ALWAYS:

• Remove battery pack.

• Engage trigger lock-off.

• Avoid contact with trigger during adjustments

• Do not drive nails blindly into walls, floors or other work areas. Fasteners driven into live electrical wires, plumbing, or other types of obstructions can result in injury.

• Be aware of material thickness when using nailer. A

protruding nail may cause injury.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.



WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions for the battery pack, charger and power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury.

• Do not charge or use the battery pack in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery

pack from the charger may ignite the dust orfumes.

• NEVER force the battery pack into the charger. DO

NOT modify the battery pack in any way to fit into a non-compatible charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury. Consult

the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of batteries andchargers.

• Charge the battery packs only in designated BOSTITCHchargers.

• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or otherliquids.

• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in

locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 104°F (40°C) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer). For best life store battery packs in a cool, drylocation. NOTE: Do not store the battery packs in a tool with the trigger switch locked on. Never tape the trigger switch in the ONposition.

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The

battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when lithium ion battery packs areburned.

• If battery contents come into contact with the skin, immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic carbonates and lithiumsalts.

• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medicalattention.



WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark orflame.



WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to the service center forrecycling.

Transportation



WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery pack so that metal objects can contact

exposed battery terminals. For example, do

not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries

can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous

Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)

Some BOSTITCH battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the batterypack.

The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge remaining in the battery pack according to the followingindicators:

75–100% charged

51–74% charged

< 50% charged

Pack needs to be charged

To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button. A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to berecharged.

Fig. B

NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product components, temperature and end-userapplication.

For more information regarding fuel gauge battery packs, please contact call 1-800-4-BOSTITCH (1-800-262-2161) or visit our website www.BOSTITCH.com.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers



• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual.

The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to worktogether.

• These chargers are not intended for any uses other

than charging BOSTITCH rechargeable batteries.

Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.

• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug andcord.

• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not

be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage orstress.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in

risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.

• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide

a dry location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electricshock.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of thehousing.

• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord

orplug.

• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized servicecenter.

• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of

electric shock, electrocution orfire.

• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before

attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce

thisrisk.

• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargerstogether.

• The charger is designed to operate on standard

120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the

vehicularcharger.



WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric shock mayresult.



WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.



CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only BOSTITCH rechargeable battery packs. Other types of batteries may overheat and burst resulting in personal injury and propertydamage.

NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from the charger cavities.

When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery pack life.

A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.

Electronic Protection System

Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.

The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithiumion battery pack on the charger until it is fully charged.

Wall Mounting

These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35" (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.

Charger Cleaning Instructions



WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaning solutions.

Important Charging Notes

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18° – 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +104°F (+40°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:

a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp

or other appliance;

b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light

switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights;

c. Move the charger and battery pack to a location

where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F – 75°F (18° – 24°C);

d. If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery

pack and charger to your local service center.

ENGLISH

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.

5. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger before attempting to clean.

6. Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.

Storage Recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.

2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool dry place out of the charger for optimal results.

NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before use.
