6. Use outside or well-ventilated areas.
This tool exhausts carbon monoxide
which are a danger to health when
inhaled.
This tool shall not be used in enclosed
or poorly ventilated areas.
Do not inhale.
7. Pay attention to those working close to you.
It would be very dangerous if nails that were not properly
driven in should hit other people. Therefore, always pay
attention to the safety of the people around you when
using this tool. Always make sure that nobody's body,
hands or feet are close to the nail outlet.
8. Never point the nail outlet towards people.
Always assume the tool contains
fasteners.
If the nail outlet is pointed towards
people, serious accidents may be
caused if you mistakenly discharge the
tool. When connecting and disconnecting the battery
or fuel cell, during nail loading or similar operations,
be sure the nail outlet is not pointed towards anyone
(including yourself). Even when no nails are loaded at
all, it is dangerous to discharge the tool while pointing
it at someone, so never attempt to do so. No horseplay.
Respect the tool as a working implement.
9. Before using the power tool, check the push lever.
You may rest the tool on a level surface as shown in
Fig. 14.
Be sure not to apply the force downward onto the tool to
the extent that the push lever is engaged.
The Push Lever and Chamber operate in conjunction
for this device.
Before using the power tool make sure to check
that the push lever operate properly. Without nails,
fuel cell and battery loaded into the power tool, check
the following.
If abnormal operation occurs, do not use the power tool
until it has been inspected and repaired.
○ Pull the Feeder knob with the device facing upward
and press down the Push lever then confi rm that the
Push lever securely returns to its original position.
The Push lever operation becomes especially
heavy in low temperatures and drive operations
may not function.
○ With pulling back the feeder knob, the push lever
must move smoothly.
○ With pulling back the feeder knob, the trigger must
move smoothly.
Furthermore, with regard to the push lever, please
note that it must never be modifi ed or removed.
10. Use specifi ed nails only.
Never use nails other than those specifi ed and
described in these instructions.
11. Do not modify the fastener driving tool.
Modifi cations may reduce the eff ectiveness of safety
measures and increase the risks to the operator and/or
bystander.
12. Be careful when connecting the battery.
When connecting the battery and loading nails in
order not to fi re the tool by mistake, make sure of the
followings.
○ Do not touch the trigger.
○ Do not allow the fi ring head to contact with any
surface.
○ Keep the fi ring head down.
Strictly observe the above instructions, and always
make sure that no part of the body, hands or legs is
ever in front of the nail outlet.
13. Be careful when handling fasteners, especially
when loading and unloading, as the fasteners have
sharp points which could cause injury.
14. Do not carelessly place your fi nger on the trigger.
Do not place your fi nger on the trigger except when
actually nailing. If you carry this tool or hand it to
someone while having your fi nger on the trigger, you
may inadvertently discharge a nail and thus cause an
accident.
15. Press the nail outlet fi rmly against the material to
be nailed.
When driving in nails, press the nail outlet fi rmly against
the material to be nailed. If the outlet is not applied
properly, the nails may rebound.
16. Keep hands and feet away from the fi ring head
when using.
It is very dangerous for a nail to hit the
hands or feet by mistake.
17. During operation, debris from workpiece and
fastening/collation system may be discharged.
18. Do not touch around the exhaust outlet.
This tool produces hot exhaust gases
that may fl ammable materials. The
push lever and nose will become hot
and get heated up after prolonged or
rapid use.
Do not touch with bare hands.
19. Beware of the tool's kickback.
Do not approach the top of the tool with your head etc.
during operation. This is dangerous because the tool
may recoil violently if the nail currently being driven in
comes into contact with a previous nail or a knot in the
wood.
20. Take care when nailing thin boards or the corners
of wood.
When nailing thin boards, the nails may pass right
through, as may also be the case when nailing the
corners of wood due to deviation of the nails. In such
cases, always make sure that there is no one (and
nobody's hands or feet; etc.) behind the thin board or
next to the wood you are going to nail.
21. Simultaneous nailing on both sides of the same
wall is dangerous.
Under no circumstances should nailing be performed
on both sides of a wall at the same time. This would be
very dangerous since the nails might pass through the
wall and thus cause injuries.
22. Do not use the power tool on scaff oldings, ladders.
The power tool shall not be used for specifi c application
for example:
–
when changing one driving location to another
involves the use of scaff oldings, stairs, ladders or
ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,
–
closing boxes or crates,
–
fi tting transportation safety systems e.g. on vehicles
and wagons
23. Disconnect the battery and fuel cell and take out
any nails left in the magazine after use.
Disconnect the battery and fuel cell from the tool before
doing tool maintenance, cleaning a jammed fastener,
leaving work area, moving tool to another location, or
after use. It is very dangerous for a nail to be fi red by
mistake.
24. When removing a nail which has become stuck,
make sure to fi rst of all disconnect the battery and
fuel cell.
