GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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 mains-operated (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.
3-ENG
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.
4-ENG
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.
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.
STAPLER SAFETY WARNINGS
a) Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Careless handling of the stapler
can result in unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.
b) Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering
will discharge the fastener causing an injury.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not use this stapler 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.
5-ENG
TOOL LOADING SAFETY

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 (e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) 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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)
• 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

• 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.

Charge Indicators
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise. Problems are indicated
by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack into the
charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger
is working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective
and should be returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new
battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger and the
battery pack tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD DELAY
This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is hot,
it automatically starts a delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the
battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This
feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short while in the
hot/cold delay mode.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicator showing
Pack Charged.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function but should not be
expected to perform as much work.
FAULTY BATTERY PACKS: This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger
will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When the charger is used with
some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC,
the charger may temporarily suspend operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks
followed by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.
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 +105°F
(+40.5°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.
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.

shock may result.
Shock hazard. Don’t allow any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric
housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic
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.
Battery packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The
battery pack will need to be recharged before use.

ADJUSTMENTS
Clinch Adjustment
To obtain maximum efficiency from the staple closure, it is important that the staple be
clinched properly. Proper clinching for any thickness board may be obtained by adjusting
the clincher setting with staples of proper leg length. Use the proper length staples for the
thickness of work to be stapled, otherwise unnecessary pressure is exerted and staple
crowns and legs will be distorted, or the clinch will be too loose.
Disconnect the battery before adjusting the clinch tightness of
the tool.
1. To loosen the fastener clinch turn the clinch dial to the right.
2. To tighten the fastener clinch, turn the clinch dial to the left.
