SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS
When using power tools, always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place.
General Safety Rules
WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. WORK AREA
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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 elec-
tric 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 suit-
able for outdoor use 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 inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 con-
nected and properly used. Use of these devices 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 before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing 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 tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Extension Cords
CAUTION: Use only extension cords that are approved by the country’s Electrical Authority. Before using extension cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation and defective fittings. Replace the cord if necessary.
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 hidden wiring may be contacted. 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 hearing 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 par ts 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 fasteners 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 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. (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 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. (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 fasteners 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.

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 and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, 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. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the batter y pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
b. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-
tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
c. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
d. 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.
e. 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.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 240 V AC means your tool/charger will operate on alternating current. As little as 10% lower voltage can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All D
EWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not
operate, check the power supply. Your D
EWALT tool is double insulated, therefore no earth wire is required.
• Young children and the infirm. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this appliance.
• Replacement of the supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised DEWALT Service Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING: Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only D
EWALT nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries. Other types of bat-
teries 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 DEWALT 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.

• Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft surface that might block the ventila- tion slots and result in excessive internal heat. 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 (240 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
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 star ted.
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 lef t in the charger after the initial 1-hour 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.

Important Safety Instructions for Battery Packs
Your tool uses a DEWALT battery pack. When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include catalog number and voltage: Extended Run-Time battery packs deliver more run-time than standard battery packs. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs.
NOTE: Your tool will accept either standard or Extended Run Time battery packs. However, be sure to select proper voltage. Batteries slowly lose their charge when they are not on the charger, the best place to keep your battery is on the charger at all times.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before using the batter y pack and charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage or temperature condi­tions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
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 imme-
diate medical attention. (Medical Note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)
• Charge the battery packs only in D
EWALT 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 (40˚C)(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 areprovided for use whenever the batter y 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 ter-
minals. 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. 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 (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transpor ting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
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 DEWALT. 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 DEWALT 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 DEWALT 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.
RBRC™ is a registered trademark of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation.
