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, eye protection 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 EYE PROTECTION

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 Battery (Cat.#55583).
Be sure to use Battery (Cat.#55583) for the tool. Never connect the tool to a power source or other rechargeable battery, dry cells or storage battery for automobiles.

2 Be sure to charge with Charger Base (Cat.#55618).
Be sure to charge the Battery with Charger Base
(Cat.#55618).
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 Charger Base (Cat.#55618))
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 Charger Base (Cat.#55618).
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) to104°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.
