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. 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, staples, 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. 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. 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 will 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 tacker 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. 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. WARNING: NEVER spray or in any other way apply lubricants or cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can seriously affect the life and performance of the tool. English WARNING: if the tool has been dropped or you suspect tool damage perform tool operation check as defined in the mode selection section of the manual. If it doesn't perform according to the manual, stop using the tool and have it serviced at an authorized dewalt service center. • Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where driven fastners may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. • Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation material, or dust which could harm operator's eyes. Operator and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields. These safety glasses must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved glasses have "Z87" printed or stamped on them. It is the employer's responsibility to enforce the use of eye protection equipment by the tool operator and other people in the work area. • 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. • Do not remove, tamper with, or otherwise cause the tool, trigger, trigger lock-off, or contact trip to become inoperable. Do not tape or tie trigger or contact trip in the ON position. Do not remove spring from contact trip. Make daily inspections for free movement of trigger and contact trip. Uncontrolled discharge could result. • Inspect tool before use. Do not operate a tool if any portion of the tool, trigger, trigger lock-off, or contact trip 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. • Do not point the tool at co-workers or yourself at any time. No horseplay! Work safe! Respect the tool as a working implement. • Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. When tool is not in use, it should be locked in a safe place, out of the reach of children. • Do not carry the tool from place to place holding the trigger. Accidental discharge could result. 3
