activated if it is connected to the power source,
which may result in personal injury.
m) Use caution while removing a jammed
fastener. The mechanism may be under
compression and the fastener may be forcefully
discharged, which may result in personal injury.

Additional Safety Instructions:
CAUTION! Keep away from children and frail
persons. When not in use, keep the tool out of the
reach of children and frail persons.
Safe operation through correct use. This tool is
intended for driving in nails into wood or similar soft
materials. Use is only for its intended purpose.
Protect yourself from fires and explosions. As
sparks might fly around during the nailing process,
it is dangerous to use the tool near varnishes,
paints, petrol, thinners, fuels, gas, adhesives or
similar flammable substances as they might ignite
or explode. For this reason, the tool must not be
used near such flammable materials under any
circumstances.
Protect your eyes with safety goggles.
When working with the tool, always wear
protective goggles and make sure that
persons in your vicinity also wear protective
goggles. Parts of nails that have not been driven in
properly can enter the eyes and destroy your
eyesight. Protective goggles are available in any
specialised shop. Always wear safety eye
protection, either safety glasses or a wide-angle
safety mask with the prescribed lenses. Employers
must always prescribe the wearing of eye
protection.
Protect your ears and your head. Wear hearing
protection and safety helmets while nailing.
Depending on the conditions, people in the vicinity
should also wear noise protection and safety
helmets.
Pay attention to people working in your
vicinity. It can be dangerous if nails that have not
been driven in properly injure other people. For this
reason, pay attention to the safety of the people in
your vicinity when using this tool. Ensure that the
mouth of the tool does not get anywhere persons,
hands or feet.
Do not point the mouth of the tool at
people. Always assume that there are nails
in the tool. If the mouth of the tool is pointed
at people, serious accidents may occur if the tool is
accidentally triggered. When inserting and
removing the battery pack, during nail reloading or
similar operations, make sure that the nail outlet is
not directed at any person (including yourself).
Even if there are no nails in the tool, it is dangerous
to trigger the tool while is it pointed at someone.
Therefore, never try this. The tool is not a toy.
Consider the tool exclusively as a working tool and
handle it accordingly.
Check the trigger safety lock before use. Ensure
that the trigger safety lock works properly. (The
trigger safety lock can be referred to as "safety
device".) Never use the tool if the trigger safety lock
is not working properly, otherwise the tool could
unexpectedly fire a nail. Do not change the trigger
safety lock and do not remove it, otherwise the
trigger safety lock can no longer be operated.
The selection of the triggering method is
important. Read and understand the instructions in
chapter 8.1.
Before using the tool, make sure that it is
working properly. Carry out the tests in chapter
7.4 .
Use only the prescribed nails. Only the nails
specified in the operating instructions may be used.
Be careful when inserting the battery pack.
When inserting the battery pack and filling the tool
with nails make sure that you do not accidentally
trigger the tool.
- Under any circumstances, do not touch the
trigger.
- Ensure that the mouth does not get in contact with
any object.
- Keep the mouth pointing downwards. It is
important that you follow the above instructions
and make sure that no body parts, hands or feet
are in front of the mouth of the tool.
Never touch the trigger carelessly. Only touch
the trigger with your finger when nailing. If your
finger is on the trigger while carrying the tool or
handing it to someone, you may unintentionally fire
a shot and cause an accident.
Firmly press the mouth against the material to
be nailed. When driving in nails, press the mouth
firmly against the material to be nailed. If this is not
done carefully, the nails may recoil.
Keep hands and feet away from the
mouth while working. It is very dangerous if
a nail enters the hands or feet through a
mistake.
Protect yourself from tool kickback. Do not
approach the top of the tool with your head or any
other part of your body while working. This is
dangerous because the tool can kickback violently
if a nail hits a previously driven in nail or a hard
branch in the wood.
Protect yourself from double shots due to tool
kickback. If the trigger safety lock accidentally
comes again into contact with the workpiece after
kickback, a nail may fired unintentionally. To avoid
these unintentional double shots, pay attention to
the following:
a) Working with "fully sequential triggering"
operating mode
1. Pull the trigger fast and hard (4).
b) Working with "contact release" operating mode
1. Do not press the tool with excessive force
against the wood.
2. Detach the tool from the wood when kickback
starts after nailing.
Be careful when nailing thin boards or wooden
edges. When nailing thin boards, the nails can be
fired through the boards, as it can also happen
when nailing on wooden edges due to ricochets. In
such cases, make sure that no-one (including no
hands, feet etc.) is behind the board or near the
wood you are working on.
