9. THE TOOL COMES EQUIPPED WITH TWIN POWER SOURCE TECHNOLOGY (TPS)

™

. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR SUPPLY HOSE AND/OR REMOVE BATTERY before doing tool maintenance,

clearing a jammed fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another location, handing the tool to another person, or making adjustments. Fig. 4.

10. NEVER USE A TOOL that is leaking air, has missing or damaged parts, or requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are securely tightened.

11. NEVER USE TOOL IF SAFETY, trigger or springs are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not alter or remove safety, trigger, or springs. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and safety mechanism. Fig. 5.

WARNING

1. Read and understand tool labels and manual. Failure to follow warnings could result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.

2. Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields.

3. Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving fasteners to avoid accidental firing.

4. Choice of triggering method is important. Check manual for triggering options.

5. Remove battery, fasteners, and external air supply before servicing tool.

6. NEVER point tool at yourself or others in work area.

7. NEVER use oxygen or other bottled gases. Explosion may occur.

17. REMOVE FINGER FROM TRIGGER

when not driving fasteners. Never carry tool with finger on trigger. Fig. 10.

18. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when using or handling the tool.

19. FIRE FASTENERS INTO WORK SURFACE ONLY: never into materials too

hard to penetrate. Fig. 11.

20. GRIP TOOL FIRMLY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WHILE allowing tool to recoil

away from work surface as fastener is driven.

21. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS on top of other fasteners, or with the tool at too steep an angle: the fasteners can ricochet causing personal injury. Fig. 11.

22. DO NOT DRIVE FASTENERS CLOSE

to the edge of the workpiece. The workpiece is likely to split allowing the fastener to fly free or ricochet causing personal injury. Fig. 12.

23. KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS

away from area shown in Fig. 13A, to avoid injury.

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

1. The 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.

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

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch

or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the trigger on invites accidents.

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

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Disconnect battery pack from tool and place the switch in the OFF position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the tool accidentally.

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

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

2. 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

1. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it

does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. Always set the switch to the OFF position when installing or removing the battery pack or nails.

2. Never hold work in your hand, lap, or against other parts of your body when nailing.

3. Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request, and follow, all safety information available from your material supplier.
