WARNING

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE TOOL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

TO AVOID SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE

BEFORE USING THE TOOL, READ CAREFULLY AND UN­DERSTAND THE FOLLOWING "SAFETY INSTRUC­TIONS". FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD
RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE TOOL

Danger to the eyes always exists due to the possibility of
dust being blown up by the exhausted air or of a fastener fly­ing up due to the improper handling of the tool. For these
reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall always be worn
when operating the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye pro­tection is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to
the requirements of the American National Standards Insti­tute, ANSI Z87.1 (Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 DEC.

1989) and provide both frontal and side protection.
The employer is responsible to enforce the use of eye pro­tection equipment by the tool operator and all other person­nel in the work area.
NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields
alone do not provide adequate protection.

2. EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN SOME ENVI­RONMENTS

As the working condition may include exposure to high noise
levels which can lead to hearing damage, the employer and
user should ensure that any necessary hearing protection is
provided and used by the operator and others in the work area.

1. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES

3

3. WEAR THE CLOTHINGS AND A PROTECTIVE GEAR
SUITABLE FOR THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT

Depending on the working environment, wear a long-sleeve
work uniform and a protective gear such as a hard hat, safe­ty shoes.

4. CAUTIONS FOR FUEL CELL

1 Be sure to set Fuel Cell.
2 Store Fuel Cell in well ventilated area.

6 Do not incinerate or recycle the empty Fuel Cell.

7 Never jet the gas to the human body.

8 Do not remove the rubber plug from the bottom of the

Fuel Cell except at disposal.

3 Do not expose the Fuel Cell to the direct sunshine.

Do not place the Fuel Cell in a vehicle or a trunk where the
temperature could rise. It could explode. A used empty Fuel
Cell still contains a combustible jet gas, which could swell
and explode a container into pieces.

4 Store the Fuel Cell at ambient temperature of 120°F

(49°C) or lower.

The Fuel Cell contains the pressurized combustible gas. If
it is exposed to the temperature higher than 120°F (49°C),
the gas could leak from it or burst, resulting in a fire.

9 Do not make a hole in the Fuel Cell.

5. CAUTIONS FOR CHARGING METHOD, THE CHARGER
AND THE BATTERY

1 Be sure to use MAX JP606H battery for the tool.

Be sure to use MAX JP606H battery. Never connect the tool
to a power source or other rechargeable battery, dry cells or
storage battery for automobiles.
Neglect of this could cause breakage, trouble, heat genera­tion or combustion.
(See Page 10 for MAX JP606H battery)

5 Do not breathe in the gas.

4

2 Be sure to charge with MAX JC610M charger.

Be sure to charge the Battery with MAX JC610M charger.
If charged with other charger, it could fail to be properly
charged as well as get broken, ignited or generate the heat.
(See Page 10 for MAX JC610M charger)

3 Charge the Battery prior to use.

The new Battery or the one which has not been used for a
long period may not be fully charged due to self-discharge.
Be sure to charge it with MAX JC610M charger.

6 Never use an engine generator or DC power source to

charge the Battery.

Neglect of this causes a trouble or burnout of the charger.

7 Never charge the Battery in the rain or in the place ex-

posed to water splash or moisture.

If it is charged in the wet condition, it could cause an electric
shock or short-circuiting, resulting in a fire due to burnout or
combustion.

8 Never touch a power plug with a wet hand.

Holding it with a wet hand could cause an electric shock.

4 Charge the Battery at the specified voltage.

Be sure to charge, using a 100-240 V AC plug socket (for
household use). Never charge at other than the specified
voltage. Neglect of this could cause combustion or heat
generation.

5 Never use a transformer such as a booster for the pow-

er source of the charger.

Neglect of this causes a trouble or burnout of the charger.

9 Never cover the charger in use with a cloth, and so on.

Putting a cover could generate the heat, resulting in a burn­out or fire.

0 Do not put the charger close to a fire.

5

Thinner

Gasoline

a Do not charge the Battery near any combustible sub-

stance.

b Charge the Battery in a well-ventilated area, protected

against the direct sunshine.

Charging in the direct sunshine could overheat the charger,
resulting in a burnout or fire.

c Charge the Battery at ambient temperature of 32°F (0°C)

to 104°F (40°C).

If the ambient temperature is less than 32°F (0°C) to 104°F
(40°C), charging may not be allowed, could result in a fire.

f Once the Battery is disconnected from the tool body, be

sure to cover it with a pack cap, unless it is used.

In order to prevent short-circuiting, cover the terminal block
(metal section) of the unused Battery with the pack cap.

g Never short-circuit the terminal block (metal section) of

the Battery.

If it is short-circuited, a large current will run to overheat the
Battery, causing you a burn or damage on it.

h Never throw the Battery into a fire.

Neglect of this could cause an explosion.

d Do not allow foreign objects into a ventilation hole or

Battery plug socket in the charger.

They cause an electric shock or trouble. Use in the place
free of dust.

e Handle a power cord with care.

If you hold the power cord of the AC adapter to carry or pull
it to disconnect from a plug socket, it will be damaged, re­sulting in snapping or short-circuiting. Also, take care that it
will not come into contact with cutters, high-temperature
substances, oil or grease. Replace the damaged power
cord with a new one.

6. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN CONNECTING THE
BATTERY TO THE TOOL

When connecting the Battery to the tool, be sure to observe
the following in order to prevent malfunctioning.

(1) Do not put your finger on the trigger.
(2) Do not press the contact arm against the object.
(3) Never put your finger or hand near the muzzle.

7. BE SURE TO CHECK WHEN THE BATTERY IS CON­NECTED

Prior to using the tool, connect the Battery to it without
pressing the contact arm against the object and loading the
pins and Fuel Cell, and be sure to check the following:

6

(1) Check whether or not operating sound is heard, by

only connecting the Battery.
* If you connect the Battery and press the contact arm

against the floor, and so on, the fan of the tool will
run, but this is not abnormal.

(2) Check for heat generation or abnormal smell or sound.

If the tool is activated, generates the heat or emits ab­normal smell or sound, it is an indication of trouble.
Using the tool in that condition results in an accident.
If any abnormality is found, contact your nearest au­thorized distributor.

Thinner

11. NEVER USE THE TOOL NEAR THE VOLATILE COM­BUSTIBLE SUBSTANCES

Never use the tool near gasoline, thinner, gas, paint or ad­hesive agent, because it could ignite or explode.

12. KEEP TOOL AWAY FROM FIRE

13. BE SURE TO USE THE TOOL IN THE WORKING ENVI­RONMENT OF 14°F (-10°C) TO 104°F (40°C), BECAUSE
THE TOOL BODY COULD BE DAMAGED, IGNITE OR
EXPLODE

14°F (-10°C) or lower: The tool body could be damaged.
104°F (40°C) or higher: The Fuel Cell could be damaged,
resulting in ignition or explosion.

Gasoline

8. UNPLUG THE CHARGER WHEN IT IS NOT USED

9. ONLY USE TOOL IN WELL VENTILATED AREA

If used in an ill-ventilated place, you could suffer from oxy­gen starvation.

10. AVOID THE DIRECT SUNSHINE

Do not place the tool in a vehicle or a trunk where the tem­perature could rise, because it could explode. A used empty
Fuel Cell still contains a combustible jet gas, which could
swell and explode a container into pieces.

14. DO NOT USE THE TOOL IN THE RAIN OR IN A VERY
HUMID PLACE

Neglect of this causes a trouble.

15. NEVER DRIVE THE PINS, FACING EACH OTHER

If you drive the pins, facing each other, an improperly driven
pin may hit and injure the worker facing you.
