A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and / or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking 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. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only iden-
tical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for tackers
Tacker safety warnings
Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners. Careless handling of the tacker can
result in unexpected firing of fasteners and per-
sonal 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 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.
Use caution while removing a jammed
fastener. The mechanism may be under com-
pression and the fastener may be forcefully
discharged while attempting to free a jammed
condition.
Do not use this tacker for fastening elec-
trical cables. It is not designed for electric ca-
