KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord.
STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry and high or locked-up place, out of
reach of children.
DO NOT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
DO NOT EXCEED the maximum average fastener drive rate (stated in the specifications). If the tool over-
heats, leave it to cool down.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force this tool to do the job of a heavy-duty tool (like air-powered fastening
devices). Do not use tool for purpose not intended, for example, do not drive fasteners into impenetrable
materials.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long
hair.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
SECURE WORK. Use clamp or a vise to hold work. It is safer than using your hand, it frees both hands to
operate tool.
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Hold tool firmly to minimize recoil.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safe performance. Follow
servicing instructions. Inspect tool cord periodically and if damaged have replaced or repaired by authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cord periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handle grip dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE TOOL AND UNLOAD THE MAGAZINE when not in use, before servicing,
clearing a jammed fastener, moving tool to another location.
NEVER POINT THE TOOL AT YOURSELF OR AT ANYONE ELSE. Point the fastener outlet against the
workpiece when loading and operating.
Always assume the tool contains fastener.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. With plugged-in tool do not rest hand or fingers on the trigger when
not driving fasteners, during loading, unloading, displacements or as a habit. Never play with the tool or the
trigger.
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS before further use of the tool, check to determine that it operates properly and
performs its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
tightening of mounting screws. Never use the tool if plastic body, trigger, switch, cord or plug are defective.
CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
To prevent eye injuries, safety glasses with permanently attached side shields must be worn by the
tool operator and everyone in the vicinity of the tool. These glasses must be approved by the Official
Safety Agency for the country the tool is used in, and have the prescribed markings printed or
stamped on them.
