▶ Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
▶ When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, 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.
▶ 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.

Tacker safety warnings
▶ Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Careless handling of the fastening tool can result in
unexpected firing of nails causing personal injury.
▶ Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. A nail will be ejected by the tool if it is
triggered unexpectedly, possibly leading to 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 fastening tool may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
▶ Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The mechanism may be under tension and the nail
may be forcefully ejected while attempting to free a jam.
▶ When fastening electrical cables, make sure the cables are not energized. Hold the fastening tool
only by insulated gripping surfaces. Use only fasteners designed for electrical cable installations.
Check that the fastener has not damaged the insulation of the electrical cable. A nail that damages
the insulation of electric cables can lead to electric shock and fire hazards.
