d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children. Do not allow per-
sons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition 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.
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.
Tacker safety warnings
1. Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners. Careless handling of the tacker
can result in unexpected firing of fasteners
and personal injury.
2. Do not point the tool towards your-
self or anyone nearby. Unexpected
triggering will discharge the fastener caus-
ing an injury.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Use caution while removing a jammed
fastener. The mechanism may be under
compression and the fastener may be force-
fully discharged while attempting to free a
jammed condition.
6. Do not use this tacker for fastening
electrical cables. It is not designed for
electric cable installation and may damage
the insulation of electric cables thereby caus-
ing electric shock or fire hazards.
Supplementary notes
RISK OF INJURY!
Never aim the appliance towards yourself
or other people or animals.
Ensure that no other people or animals are
on the other side of the workpiece or in the
immediate vicinity.
PROTECT YOUR EYES!
Wear safety goggles. This also applies to
people who are carrying out support and
holding work during operation.
Secure the workpiece! A workpiece
securely held by a clamping device or vice
is much safer than one held in your hand.
Always guide the power cord away to the
rear of the appliance.
Original accessories /
auxiliary equipment
Only use the accessories and additional
equipment which are specified in the oper-
ating instructions and compatible with the
appliance.
