WARNING!
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in
accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for dierent
applications, used with dierent accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may dier. These conditions may
signicantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned o or when it is
running idle. These conditions may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the
accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, re, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruction for future reference.
NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS
Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Careless
handling of the nailer can result in unexpected ring of fasteners and
personal injury.
Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby.
Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener causing an injury.
Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed rmly against
the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with the workpiece, the
fastener may be deected away from your target.
Disconnect the tool from the power source when the fastener
jams in the tool. While removing a jammed fastener, the nailer may
be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The mechanism
may be under compression and the fastener may be forcefully
discharged while attempting to free a jammed condition.
Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical cables. It is
not designed for electric cable installation and may damage the
insulation of electric cables thereby causing electric shock or re
hazards.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
The product is designed for single-hand use. Do not hold the
product by the front of the magazine. Do not put hands, head, or
other parts of your body near the bottom of the magazine where
the fastener exits the product, as serious personal injury could be
caused.
Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully positioned above
the workpiece. Positioning the workpiece contact only partially
above the workpiece could cause the fastener to miss the workpiece
completely and result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners near edge of material. The workpiece may
split causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring you or a coworker. Be
aware that the fastener may follow the grain of the wood, causing
it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material or
deect, possibly causing injury.
Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work area. Hold
workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep hands and body out
of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before
pressing the fastener against the material. The workpiece contact
may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.
Keep face and body parts away from back of the tool cap when
working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in impact to the
body, especially when nailing into hard or dense material.
During normal use the product will recoil immediately after driving a
fastener. This is a normal function of the product. Do not attempt to
prevent the recoil by holding the nailer against the work. Restriction
9
to the recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from the
nailer. Grip the handle rmly, let the product do the work and do not
place second hand on top of product or near exhaust at any time.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the product at an
overly steep angle as this may cause deection of fasteners which could
cause injury.
Always check the work area for hidden wiring, gas lines, water lines,
etc., before using the product on such work area.
After using the product in the contact actuation mode, switch it back
to the full sequential mode.
The driving depth of the fastener may be adjusted beyond air
pressure. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to
determine the required depth for the application.
Only fasteners matching the description in the product specications
table can be used with this product. Using incorrect fasteners may
lead to jamming or other malfunctions.
Always remove the battery before adjusting the depth of drive.
Do not press the trigger while adjusting the depth of drive.
Always select full sequential ring mode before adjusting the depth
of drive.
Do not point the product towards yourself or anyone nearby when
adjusting the depth of drive.
Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between 0°C
and 40°C.
Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0°C and
40°C.
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging
system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C.
Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between 0°C
and 40°C.
Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and
20°C.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
