GENERAL SAFETY RULES

(FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED
TOOLS)

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Work Area

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.

2. 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.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

4. 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.

5. Use battery operated tool only with
specifically designated battery pack. Use of
any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

Personal Safety

6. 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.

Standard battery cartridges BL1830

USA003-2

7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.

8. 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.

9. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.

10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.

11. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

12. 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 loss of control.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.

2

16. Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may
create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

SERVICE

21. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.

22. 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
shock or injury.

USB074-2

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to cordless stapler safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.

1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make

exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator.

2. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses

with side shield, and a full face shield when
needed.

3. Do not point the ejection port at anyone in the
vicinity (especially his face). Keep hands and
feet away from the ejection port area.

4. Always remove the battery cartridge before
loading the staples, adjustment, inspection,
maintenance or after operation is over.

5. Make sure no one is nearby before operation.
Never attempt to drive staples from both the
inside and outside of wall at the same time.
Staples may rip through and/or fly off,
presenting a grave danger.

6. Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
when working in high locations.

7. Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and the
like carefully to avoid possible electrical shock,
gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by
stapling into live wires, conduits or gas pipes.

8. Use only staples specified in this manual. The
use of any other staples may cause
malfunction of the tool.

9. Do not tamper with the tool or attempt to use it
for other than driving staples.

10. Do not operate the tool without staples. It
shortens the service life of the tool.

11. Stop driving operations immediately if you
notice something wrong or out of the ordinary
with the tool.

12. Never staple into any materials which may
allow the staple to puncture and fly through as
a projectile.

13. Never actuate the switch trigger and safety
lever at the same time until you are prepared
to staple workpieces. Allow the workpiece to
depress the safety lever. Never defeat its
purpose by securing the safety lever back or
by depressing it by hand.

14. Never tamper with the safety lever. Check the
safety lever frequently for proper operations.

Règles de sécurité générales

(POUR TOUS LES OUTILS
ALIMENTÉS PAR BATTERIE)

MISE EN GARDE ! Assurez-vous d'avoir lu et
compris toutes les instructions. Il y a risque de choc

électrique, d'incendie et/ou de blessure grave si les
instructions ci-dessous ne sont pas respectées.

CONSERVEZ CE MODE
D'EMPLOI.

Zone de travail

1. Maintenez votre aire de travail propre et bien
éclairée. Les établis encombrés et les aires de

travail sombres ouvrent la porte aux accidents.

2. N'utilisez pas les outils électriques dans les

atmosphères explosives, par exemple en
présence de liquides, gaz ou poussières
inflammables. Les outils électriques produisent

des étincelles au contact desquelles la poussière
ou les vapeurs peuvent s'enflammer.

3. Tenez à distance les curieux, les enfants et les

visiteurs pendant que vous travaillez avec un
outil électrique. Ils pourraient vous distraire et

vous faire perdre la maîtrise de l'outil.

Sécurité en matière d'électricité

4. Un outil alimenté par des batteries intégrées
ou par un bloc-piles séparé doit toujours être
rechargé au moyen du chargeur spécifié pour
la batterie en question. L'utilisation d'un

chargeur conçu pour un type donné de batterie
peut comporter un risque d'incendie avec un autre
type de batterie.

USA003-2

5. En utilisant un outil alimenté par batterie,

servez-vous uniquement du bloc-piles
spécialement conçu à cet effet. L'emploi

d'autres batteries risquerait de provoquer un
d'incendie.

Sécurité personnelle

6. Restez alerte, attentif à vos gestes, et faites
preuve de bon sens lorsque vous utilisez un
outil électrique. Évitez d'utiliser l'outil lorsque
vous êtes fatigué ou sous l'influence de
drogues, d'alcool ou de médicaments. Tout

moment d'inattention pendant l'utilisation d'un
outil électrique comporte un risque de blessure
grave.

7. Habillez-vous convenablement. Ne portez ni

vêtements flottants ni bijoux. Confinez les
cheveux longs. N'approchez jamais les
cheveux, les vêtements ou les gants des
pièces en mouvement. Des vêtements flottants,

des bijoux ou des cheveux longs risquent d'être
happés par des pièces en mouvement.

8. Prévenez tout démarrage accidentel.

Assurez-vous que l'interrupteur est en positon
d'arrêt ou en position verrouillée avant
d'insérer le bloc-piles. En transportant l'outil

avec le doigt sur l'interrupteur ou en insérant le
bloc-piles alors que l'interrupteur est en position
de marche, vous ouvrez toute grande la porte aux
accidents.

9. Enlevez les clés de réglage ou de serrage
avant de démarrer l'outil. Une clé laissée dans
une pièce tournante de l'outil peut provoquer des
blessures.

10. Ne vous penchez pas trop en avant. Maintenez

un bon appui et restez en équilibre en tout
temps. Un bonne stabilité vous permet de mieux

réagir à une situation inattendue.

8
