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.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
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 fire.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting
in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 265 °F (129 °C) may
cause explosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) 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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Stapler Safety Warnings
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners.
•
Careless handling of the stapler can result in unexpected
firing of fasteners and personal injury.
•
Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone
nearby. Unexpected triggering could discharge a fastener
causing an injury.
•
Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed
firmly against the workpiece. If the tool is not in
contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected
away from your target.
•
Disconnect the tool from the power source when the
fastener jams in the tool. While removing a jammed
fastener, the stapler may be accidentally activated if it is
plugged in.
•
When fastening electrical cables, make sure the
cables are not energized. Hold the stapler only by
insulated gripping surfaces. Use only fasteners
designed for electrical cable installations. Inspect
that the fastener has not damaged the insulation
of the electrical cables. A fastener that damages the
insulation of electric cables can lead to electric shock and
fire hazards.
Additional Stapler Safety Warnings
WARNING: When using any stapler, all safety
precautions, as outlined below, should be followed
to avoid the risk of death or serious injury. Read all
instructions before operating the tool.
•
Always turn off power to circuit before attempting to
staple wires. Do not staple "live" wires.
Use only D
WALT staples for fastening electrical
•
e
cables. It is designed for electric cable installation.
•
Never operate tool with magazine disengaged or
separated from tool.
•
Keep hands and body parts away from the discharge
area of the tool. While in use NEVER grasp the tool by the
magazine or canister, a mis-driven staple can exit the nose
causing injury.
•
Always hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when stapling wires. Assume that they are live even
if turned off. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
•
Always wear appropriate personal hearing and
other protection during use. Under some conditions
and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
•
Disconnect battery pack from the tool when not in
use. Always remove battery pack and remove staples
from magazine before leaving the area or passing the
tool to another operator. Do not carry tool to another
work area in which changing location involves the use
of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders, and the like, with battery
pack connected. Do not make adjustments, perform
maintenance or clear jammed staples while battery is
in place.
