OPERATION

WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Remove the battery pack and remove nails from
the tool before leaving the work area, moving the
tool to another location, or handing the tool to
another person. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.

for long periods of time it may not operate. Allow
the tool to warm up prior to use. If the tool is used
in excessively high temperatures of more than

erate properly or it may shut down. Allow the tool
