BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Ensure the trigger switch is not being depressed before inserting battery pack.
2. 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.
3. 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 to battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
4. 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.
5. If the supply cord on the charger is damaged, it must be replaced by an assembly
available from the manufacturer.
MACHINE SPECIFIC
1. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece held with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
2. Before any work on the machine itself (e.g. maintenance) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool. There is danger of injury when
unintentionally actuating the trigger switch.
3. Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuit.
4. Protect the battery against heat, e.g., also against continuous sun irradiation and
fire. There is danger of explosion.
5. Do not short-circuit the battery. There is danger of explosion.
6. Keep your fingers away from the tacker head. There is danger of injury when
unintentionally actuating the trigger switch.
7. Never point the machine at persons or animals. Staples or nails shot from a short
distance can cause considerable injuries.
8. Do not use the machine to fasten electrical wiring. Contact with electric wires can
lead to fire and electric shock.
BATTERY CHARGER
1. Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power supply must correspond with
the data given on the rating plate of the battery charger.
2. Keep the battery charger away from rain or moisture. Penetration of water in to the
battery charger increase the risk of an electric shock.
3. Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead to danger of an electric
shock.
4. Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and plug. If damage is
detected, do not use the battery charger. Never open the battery charger yourself.
Have repairs performed only by a qualified technician and only using original spare
parts. Damaged battery chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of an electric
shock.
5. Do not operate the battery charger on easily inflammable surfaces (e.g., paper,
textiles, etc.) or surroundings. The heating of the battery charger during the charging
process can pose a fire hazard.
