GENERAL POWER TOOL

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your

8

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery­operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

b) 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.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) 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.

e) 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.

f) 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.

3) Personal safety

a) 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.

c) 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 nger on

the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control of

the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) 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.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust

collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.

b) 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.

c) 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

20V Cordless 18 Gauge Brad Nailer

EN

tool accidentally.

d) 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.

e) 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.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) 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.

5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specied by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one

type of battery pack may create a risk of re when

used with another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and re.

c) 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 burns or a re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.

6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied

repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.

Careless handling of the nailer can result in

unexpected ring of fasteners and personal injury.

2. Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the

fastener causing an injury.

3. Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed

rmly against the workpiece. If the tool is not in

contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be

deected away from your target.

4. Disconnect the tool from the battery when
the fastener jams in the tool.While removing a

jammed fastener, the nailer may be accidentally
activated if it is plugged in.

5. Use caution while removing a jammed fastener.

The mechanism may be under compression and
the fastener may be forcefully discharged while
attempting to free a jammed condition.

6. Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical
cables. It is not designed for electric cable

installation and may damage the insulation of
electric cables thereby causing electric shock or

re hazards.

pack.

b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store

battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer
where they may short-circuit each other or be
short-circuited by conductive materials. 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 burns or a re.

c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or re. Avoid

storage in direct sunlight.

d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
