Nailer safety warnings

• Always assume that the nailer contains fasteners. Careless handling of the nailer may result in unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.

• Disconnect the tool from the power source when loading and unloading fasteners, making adjustments or changing accessories. The tool may be accidentally activated if it is connected to the power source, which may result in personal injury.

• Be careful when handling fasteners, especially when loading and unloading. The fasteners have sharp points which may result in personal injury.

• Do not point the nailer towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge a fastener, which may result in personal injury.

• Keep fingers away from trigger when not operating the nailer and when moving from one operating position to another. Unexpected triggering will discharge a fastener, which may result in personal injury.

• Hold the nailer by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. A fastener contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the nailer "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Hold the nailer with a firm grasp during operation. Uncontrolled recoil of the nailer may result in unintended activation, which may result in personal injury.

• Keep all body parts such as hands and legs, etc. away from the firing direction of the nailer. The fastener may penetrate the workpiece as well as any object behind it, which may result in personal injury.

• When using the nailer, keep all body parts such as hands and legs, etc. away from the area where the fastener is driven into the workpiece. The fastener could deflect and exit the workpiece, which may result in personal injury.

• Do not actuate the nailer unless the nailer is placed firmly against the workpiece. If the nailer is not in contact with the workpiece, the fastener may be deflected away from the workpiece, which may result in personal injury.

• 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 fire hazards.

• Disconnect the nailer from the power source if a fastener jams in the nailer. While removing a jammed fastener, the nailer may be accidentally activated if it is connected to the power source, which may result in personal injury.

• Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The mechanism may be under compression and the fastener may be forcefully discharged, which may result in personal injury.

• Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hidden supply lines or contact the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to explosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
