2. SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Pacemaker wearers, exposure to magnetic fields
generated by the tool can result in death or serious injury. Pacemaker
wearers should not operate this tool. If you have any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place, turn off the tool immediately and seek
medical assistance.
Work Area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit.
• To reduce the probability of fire and/or explosion, 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.
• To reduce the probability of injury, keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating a power tool.
Electrical Safety -
DANGER
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving parts. If cord is damaged, return
product and cord to authorized service center for repair or
replacement. 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 charger 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 specifically designated battery
pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

Safe Tool Operation - WARNING
• Always handle a tool as if it is loaded with fastener(s).
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure contact trip is in the off
position before inserting battery pack. Be sure trigger
switch is also in the off position to avoid accidental
discharge.
•NEVER, EVER point the tool toward yourself or anyone else
whether it contains fasteners or not.
• Do not depress the trigger unless the nose piece of tool is directed
onto a safe work surface.
• Do not carry a tool with the trigger depressed.
• Do not load a tool with fasteners while the trigger is depressed.
• Make sure that the mechanical linkage between work-contacting
element and trigger is enclosed.
• Do not drive staples onto the heads of other fasteners. This
could cause the staple to be deflected and hit someone, or
cause the tool to react and result in a risk of injury.
• Always wear appropriate hearing protection during use.
Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearing loss.
• Use only QuikStrap™ Staples. The use of other types of
fasteners could result in serious bodily injury to you or
bystanders.
General Safety -
WARNING
• Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools can result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Air vents cover moving parts and
should be avoided.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support
the work-piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.

Tools Maintenance - CAUTION
• 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, staples, 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.
• 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 accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools. There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
• This tool is designed to be used in indoor environments.
Outdoor environments may contain moisture, dust,
dirt, contaminants and environmental exposure
that are unsuitable for the tool. Do not use
outdoors.
• Never allow the tool, battery or charger to
get wet or become immersed in water.
• STORAGE: When storing your tool, ensure it is placed in a
clean, dry environment that does not exceed 77°F (25°C).
Keep the tool inside the tool case or tool bag that it came in.
• Always use specified QuikStrap™ Staples by Halex. Use of non-Halex
brand staples may permanently damage the tool and cause bodily
injury. Use of non-Halex brand staples will void the warranty.
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.
• NEVER service a tool yourself. Always send to proper factory
service facility. This tool operates at high voltages. Never open the
tool housing.
• When replacing worn out or defective battery packs or other
replaceable accessories, use only identical replacement
parts. Use only authorized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
