6. Do not use this nailer for fastening electrical
cables. It is not designed for electric cable installa-
tion and may damage the insulation of electric cables
thereby causing electric shock or fire hazards.
7. Always wear safety glasses to protect your
eyes from dust or fastener injury.
WARNING: It is an employer's responsibility
to enforce the use of safety eye protection
equipment by the tool operators and by other
persons in the immediate working area.
8. Keep hands and feet away from the ejection port area.
9. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
10. Always remove the battery cartridge before
loading the fasteners, adjustment, inspection,
maintenance or after operation is over.
11. Make sure no one is nearby before operation. Never
attempt to drive fasteners from both the inside and
outside of wall at the same time. Fasteners may rip
through and/or fly off, presenting a grave danger.
12. Watch your footing and maintain your balance
with the tool. Make sure there is no one below
when working in high locations.
13. Never use fastener driving tools marked with
the symbol "Do not use on scaffoldings, lad-
ders" for specific application for example:
• when changing one driving location to another
involves the use of scaffoldings, stairs, ladders,
or ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths;
• closing boxes or crates;
• fitting transportation safety systems e.g. on
vehicles and wagons.
14. Check walls, ceilings, floors, roofing and
the like carefully to avoid possible electrical
shock, gas leakage, explosions, etc. caused by
stapling into live wires, conduits or gas pipes.
15. Use only fasteners specified in this manual. The use of
any other fasteners may cause malfunction of the tool.
16. Do not tamper with the tool or attempt to use it
for other than driving fasteners.
17. Do not operate the tool without fasteners. It
shortens the service life of the tool.
18. Stop driving operations immediately if you notice
something wrong or out of the ordinary with the tool.
19. Never fasten into any materials which may allow the
fastener to puncture and fly through as a projectile.
20. Never actuate the switch trigger and contact
element at the same time until you are pre-
pared to fasten workpieces. Allow the work-
piece to depress the contact element. Never
defeat its purpose by securing the contact
element back or by depressing it by hand.
21. Never tamper with the contact element. Check the
contact element frequently for proper operations.
22. Always remove fasteners from the tool when
not in use.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
