General Safety Rules – For All
Battery Operated Tools
WARNING! Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.
• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery. A charg-
er that may be suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
• Use battery operated tool only with the specifical-
ly designed battery pack. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• 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 inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury,
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should
also be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the
locked or OFF position before inserting battery
pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on
invites accidents. Be sure contact trip is also in the
locked off position. This prevents nailer from accidental discharge.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn-
ing the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached
to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to a loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury.
Important Safety
Instructions for Nailers
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.
• 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. The operator
and all those persons in the general area
should wear safety glasses with permanently attached side shields. Approved
safety glasses are imprinted with the characters “Z87.1”. 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. (Fig. A)
• Always wear appropriate personal hear-
ing and other protection during use.
Under some conditions and duration of use,
noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss. (Fig. A)
• Disconnect battery pack from the tool
whenever clearing a jam, performing any
maintenance or repair, moving the tool
or when the tool is unattended.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger, contact trip
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. Uncontrolled discharge
could result.
• Do not operate a tool if any portion of the
tool, trigger, contact trip 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.
• 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. (Fig. B)
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
When the tool is not in use, it should
be locked in a safe place out of reach of
children.
• Do not carry the tool from place to place
holding the trigger. Accidental discharge
could result.
• Always use contact trip lock-off when
tool is not in immediate use. Using the
contact trip lock-off will prevent accidental
discharge.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing
and balance at all times. (Fig. C)
• 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. Discharged fasten-
ers may follow unexpected path and cause
injury. (Figs. D, F)
• Do not use the body of the tool or top
cap as a hammer.
• Always keep fingers clear of nail track of
magazine to prevent injury from inadvertent release of the pusher. (Fig. G)
• 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 coworker. 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. (Figs. E, F, L)
• 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. (Fig. G)
• Do not use tool in the presence of flam-
mable 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. (Fig. H)
• 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 nailing into hard or dense material. (Fig. I)
BUMP/SEQUENTIAL SELECTOR SWITCH
Sequential Action (Fig. J)
• When using the tool in sequential
action, do not actuate the tool unless
the tool is placed firmly against the
workpiece.
Bump Action (Fig. K)
• When using the tool in bump action, be
careful of unintentional double fires
resulting from tool recoil. Unwanted fas-
teners may be driven if the contact trip is
allowed to accidentally re-contact the work
surface.
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.
• When “bump” actuating the finish 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. (Fig. L)
• Be aware of material thickness when
using nailer. A protruding nail may cause
injury.
• DEPTH ADJUSTMENT: To reduce risk of
serious injury from accidental actuation
when attempting to adjust depth,
ALWAYS;
• Remove battery pack.
• Engage contact trip lock-off (Fig. M).
• 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. (Fig. N)
• 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.
WARNING: Use of this product will expose
you to chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects and
other reproductive harm. Avoid inhaling
vapors and dust, and wash hands after

• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
DANGER: 120 volts are present at charging terminals. Do
not probe with conductive objects. Electric shock or electrocution may result.
WARNING: Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
Electric shock may result.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
D
E
WALT nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries. Other types
of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged in to the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, 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 charger before attempting
to clean.
• 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 D
E
WALT rechargeable batteries. Any
other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord.
• Make sure that 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.
• 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. When using more than one extension to make up
the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

Place the charger in a position away from any heat
source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top
and the bottom of the housing.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug —
have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate 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 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
household electrical power (120 Volts). Do not
attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not
apply to the vehicular charger.
Battery Performance
Some chargers have a Tune-Up™ feature that optimizes
battery pack performance. Your charger may provide automatic Tune-Up™ mode or manual (i.e., push button) TuneUp™ mode. For information on this feature, please see the
appropriate section below. Because batteries slowly lose
their charge when they are not on the charger, the best place
to keep your battery pack is on the charger at all times.
USING AUTOMATIC TUNE-UP™ MODE
The automatic Tune-Up™ Mode equalizes or balances the
individual cells in the battery pack allowing it to function at
peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or
after 10 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no
longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the automatic Tune-Up™, place the battery pack in the charger and
leave it for at least 8 hours. The charger will cycle through the
following modes.
1. The red light will blink continuously indicating that the
1-hour charge cycle has started.
2. When the 1-hour charge cycle is complete, the light will
stay on continuously and will no longer blink. This indicates that the pack is fully charged and can be used at
this time.
3. Whenever the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1hour charge, the charger will begin the automatic TuneUp™ Mode. This mode continues up to 8 hours or until
the individual cells in the battery pack are equalized. The
battery pack is ready for use and can be removed at any
time during the Tune-Up™ Mode.
4. Once the automatic Tune-Up™ Mode is complete the
charger will transition to a maintenance charge; the indicator light shuts off when the automatic Tune-Up™ Mode
is complete.
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
c. If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with
clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)
• Charge the battery packs only in D
E
WALT 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
105°F (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in
summer).
DANGER: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not
insert into charger. Electric shock or electrocution may
result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.
NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are
provided for use whenever the battery is out of
the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing
battery in charger or tool.
WARNING: Do not store or carry battery
so that metal objects can contact exposed
battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in
aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc.
with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap.
Without cap in place, battery could short circuit causing fire
or burns or damage to battery.
CAUTION: Battery pack must be securely attached to
tool. If battery pack is detached, personal injury may result.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to
recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end
of its useful life have already been paid by
D
EWALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place
spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid
waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC™ in cooperation with D
EWALT and other battery
users, has established programs in the United States to facilitate the collection of spent nickel-cadmium batteries. Help
protect our environment and conserve natural resources by
returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized
D
EWALT service center or to your local retailer for recycling.
You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that
can arise with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the
red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery
pack into the charger. If the problem persists, try a different
battery pack to determine if the charger is OK. 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 tested at
an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when
the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically
starts a Hot Pack 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 Pack Delay mode.
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.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the
red light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept
out of the charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on
maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before
use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in
a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Chargers can also detect a
weak battery. Such batteries are still usable but should not
be expected to perform as much work. In such cases, about
10 seconds after battery insertion, the charger will beep
rapidly 8 times to indicate a weak battery condition. The
charger will then go on to charge the battery to the highest
capacity possible.
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
PACK CHARGING...................
FULLY CHARGED...................

REPLACE PACK......................
PROBLEM POWER LINE........
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
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at 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 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 affect on the battery pack.
5. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into
the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside
the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign
materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited
to, 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 charger
before attempting to clean.
6. Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other
liquid.
WARNING: Don't allow any liquid to get inside charger.
Electric shock may result. 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.
CAUTION: 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.
