GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

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.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
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 untrained users.
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.
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.

Battery tool use and care

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically 3. Always wear eye protection (protective goggles). designated battery packs. When operating the power tool, always wear eye 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 protection, and ensure that surrounding people wear eye protection too. The possibility of fragments of staples or staples that were not properly hit entering the eye is a threat to sight. Eye protection can be bought at any hardware objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. store. Always wear eye protection while operating this tool. Use either eye protection or a wide vision mask Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

Disconnect the tool from the power source when the fastener jams in the tool.
While removing a jammed fastener, the stapler may be accidentally activated if it is plugged in.
Use caution while removing a jammed fastener. The mechanism may be under compression and the fastener may be forcefully discharged while attempting to free a jammed condition.
Do not use this stapler 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 ﬁ re hazards.

PRECAUTIONS ON USING CORDLESS STAPLER

Safe operation through correct usage.
This tool was designed for driving staples into wood and similar materials. Use it for its intended purpose only.
Be careful of ignition and explosions.
Since sparks may ﬂ y during stapling, it is dangerous to use this tool near lacquer, paint, benzine, thinner, gasoline, gas, adhesives and similar inﬂ ammable substances as they may ignite or explode. Under no circumstances should this tool therefore be used in the vicinity of such inﬂ ammable material.
Always wear eye protection (protective goggles). When operating the power tool, always wear eye protection, and ensure that surrounding people wear eye protection too.
The possibility of fragments of staples or staples that were not properly hit entering the eye is a threat to sight. Eye protection can be bought at any hardware store. Always wear eye protection while operating this tool. Use either eye protection or a wide vision mask over prescription glasses.
Employers should always enforce the use of eye protection equipment.
Protect your ears and head.
When engaged in stapling work please wear ear muﬄers and head protection. Also, depending on condition, ensure that surrounding people also wear ear muﬄers and head protection.
Pay attention to those working close to you.
It would be very dangerous if staples that were not properly driven in should hit other people. Therefore, always pay attention to the safety of the people around you when using this tool. Always make sure that nobody’s body, hands or feet are close to the staple outlet.
Never point the staple outlet towards people. Always assume the tool contains fasteners.
f the staple outlet is pointed towards people, serious accidents may be caused if you mistakenly discharge the tool. When connecting and check disconnecting the battery, during staple loading or similar operations, be sure the staple outlet is not pointed towards anyone (including yourself). Even when no staples are loaded at all, it is dangerous to discharge the tool while pointing it at someone, so never attempt to do so. No horseplay. Respect the tool as a working implement.
Before using the power tool, check the push lever. Before using the power tool, make sure to check that the push lever operate properly. Without staples loaded into the power tool, connect the battery and check the following. If the sound of operations occurs this indicates a fault, so in such a case do not use the power tool until it has been inspected and repaired.
- If merely pulling the trigger causes operating sound of drive bit movement occur, the power tool is faulty.
- If merely pushing the push lever against the material to be stapled causes the sound of drive bit movement to occur, the power tool is faulty. Furthermore, with regard to the push lever, please note that it must never be modiﬁed or removed.
Use speciﬁed staples only.
Never use staples other than those speciﬁed and described in these instructions.
Do not carelessly place your ﬁnger on the trigger. Do not place your ﬁnger on the trigger except when actually stapling. If you carry this tool or hand it to someone while having your ﬁnger on the trigger, you may inadvertently discharge a staple and thus cause an accident.
Completely Close the blade guide and do not open it during operation.
If stapling is attempted when the blade guide is open, staples will not be driven into the timber, and there is a risk of dangerous discharge.
Press the staple outlet ﬁrmly against the material to be stapled.
When driving in staples, press the staple outlet ﬁrmly against the material to be stapled. If the outlet is not applied properly, the staples may rebound.
Keep hands and feet away from the ﬁ ring head when using.
It is very dangerous for a staple to hit the hands or feet by mistake.
Beware of the tool’s kickback.
Do not approach the top of the tool with your head etc. during operation. This is dangerous because the tool may recoil violently if the staple currently being driven in comes into contact with a previous staple or a knot in the wood.
Take care when stapling thin boards or the corners of wood.
When stapling thin boards, the staples may pass right through, as may also be the case when stapling the corners of wood due to deviation of the staples. In such cases, always make sure that there is no one (and nobody’s hands or feet; etc.) behind the thin board or next to the wood you are going to staple.
Simultaneous stamping on both sides of the same wall is dangerous.
Under no circumstances should stapling be performed on both sides of a wall at the same time. This would be very dangerous since the staples might pass through the wall and thus cause injuries.
Do not use the power tool on scaﬀoldings, ladders.
The power tool shall not be used for speciﬁc application for example:
- When changing one driving location to another involves the use of scaﬀorldings, stairs, ladders or ladder alike constructions, e.g. roof laths,
- Closing boxes or crates,
- Fit ting transportation safety systems e.g. on vehicles and wagons

HOW TO USE THE CORDLESS STAPLER

There are two ways to discharge staples: Single Shot, in which the push lever is placed against the area where the staple is to be ﬁ red ﬁrst and the trigger then pulled, and Continual Shot, in which the trigger is pulled ﬁrst and the push lever then placed against the relevant area.
The single-shot mode places the emphasis on ﬁnishing and is used to ensure that the staple is driven into the required place, while the continual-shot mode is used to drive in staples repeatedly with the trigger constantly being pulled.
The power tool is equipped with a mechanism to alternate between single-shot and continual-shot operations to ensure that work is carried out in the most eﬃcient way.

Safety Devices
The power tool has been designed so that staples cannot be ﬁred unless both the push lever and the trigger are simultaneously operated. In other words, staples will not be discharged when only the trigger is pulled, or when only the push lever (discharge outlet) is placed against the required area. This is to prevent the staples from being discharged when the trigger is accidentally pulled or when the push lever (discharge outlet) is accidently placed against something.

Single-shot Stapling (Fig. 7)
- Make sure the discharge outlet is firmly placed against the place where the staple is to be discharged.
- Pull the trigger to fi re the staple.
- Withdraw the power tool and release the trigger.
  NOTE
- Use the single-shot mode to accurately staple the required location.
- There are cases in which subsequent stapling will not be possible if the trigger is released halfway through being pulled. To correct this, remove the battery and then replace it.
Continual-shot Stapling (Fig. 8)
First pull the trigger then place the push lever (discharge outlet) against the required area to repeatedly fi re staples.
- First pull the trigger.
- Place the push lever (discharge outlet) against the required area to fi re the staples.
- Withdraw the stapler with the trigger pressed, and then repeat procedure from step (2) to repeatedly fire staples.

Anti Blank Firing Mechanism
The stapler is equipped with an anti blank fi ring mechanism to prevent blank fi ring when the staples run out.
The stapler will cease to operate when eight or fewer staples remain. Approximately eight staples will remain after fi ring a strip of staples, but replenishing the magazine with the same staples will enable stapling to be continued.

Stapling procedures
WARNING
- Never point the discharge outlet at people.
- Make sure that work is carried out with the discharge outlet well away from faces, hands, feet and other parts of the body.
- Do not fi re staples directly onto existing staples.
- Remove the battery when the stapler is not being used and during work breaks.
- When work has been completed, remove the battery, and then remove the remaining staples.
- When pulling the trigger, make sure that other fingers are not touching the push lever.
  Failure to observe this may result in injury.
  NOTE
- There are cases in which operations will become sluggish if used at low ambient temperatures.
- There are cases in which the staples will bend or cracks will appear in the stapled material depending on the hardness, thickness and combinations of the material.
  Test the stapling operability before commencing full use.
