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 (130 °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 English 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. • Do not use this stapler 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 fire hazards. • Never operate tool with magazine disengaged or separated from tool. 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 and understand all instructions before operating the 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. • Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the staple may contact hidden wiring. 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 fasteners 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 fasteners while battery is in place. • Always use trigger lock-off when tool is not in immediate use. Using the trigger lock-off will prevent accidental discharge. • Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger or trigger lock-off, to become inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger in the on position. Do not remove spring from contact trip. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger. Uncontrolled discharge could result. • Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool, trigger, or trigger lock-off is inoperable, disconnected, altered, or not working properly. Damaged parts or missing parts should be repaired or replaced before use. Refer to Repairs. • Do not alter or modify the tool in any way. • Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. 3
