Safety

Read this manual carefully before starting or using the device. Always store the manual in the immediate vicinity of the device or its site of use!
Warning Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
The term power tool used in the safety warnings refers to both mains-operated and battery-powered electric tools (with/ without power cable).
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical safety
Power tool or power adapter plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
EN 2
Operating manual – tacker PTNS 10-230V
Page 4
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as protective mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, hearing protection or tight-fitting protective clothing used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and / or
the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Safety instructions for tackers
Always assume that the power tool contains fasteners (wire nails or staples). Careless handling of the tacker
can result in an unexpected ejection of wire nails or staples and lead to personal injury.
Do not point the power tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will eject a wire nail or staple which might cause an injury.
Do not actuate the power tool until it is placed firmly against the workpiece. If the power tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the staple or wire nail might ricochet.
Disconnect the power tool from the mains connection
or battery when a wire nail or staple is jammed inside.
If not de-energized, the tacker could be actuated by accident while removing a jammed staple or wire nail.
Exercise particular caution when removing a jammed wire nail or staple. The mechanism may be under tension and the staple or wire nail could be forcefully ejected while you attempt to eliminate the jam.
Do not use this tacker for fastening electrical lines. It is not suitable for the installation of electrical lines, it could damage the insulation of electric cables thereby causing electric shock and fire hazards.
Use appropriate detection equipment to track down
concealed supply lines or consult the local utility companies. Contact with electrical lines may result in fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line may lead to an explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage and may cause an electric shock.
Do not under any circumstances use the power tool if
you detect damages on the mains plug or power cable.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, his service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Defective power cables pose a serious health risk!
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Caution
Vibration emissions can cause a health hazard if the device is used for an extended period of time or if it is not properly handled and maintained.
The vibration level will change depending on the application of the power tool and may in some cases differ from the value specified in these instructions. The vibration load may be underestimated if the power tool is used regularly in such a way. For a precise estimation of the vibration load during a certain work period, it is also important to consider the periods during which the device is switched off, or is running but not actually employed. This can reduce the vibration load over the entire work period significantly.
