General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2. 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.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
   ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
    POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.

21. 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.

22. Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
    GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

23. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

24. 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.

25. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
    BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

26. 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.

27. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

28. 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.

29. 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.

30. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

31. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.

32. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
    SERVICE

33. 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.

34. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Nailers Safety Warnings

1. Always assume the tool contains fasteners. Careless handling of the nailery can result in unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.

2. Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener causing 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 nailery may be accidentally activated if it is energized.

5.  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.

6. Do not use this nailery 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 fire hazards.

7. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

8. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

9. Do not use the power tool in locations where the ambient temperature may reach 4°C (39.2°F) or exceed 40˚C (105˚F).

10. A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown.
    • Do not touch the terminals with any conductive material.
    • Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.
    • Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain.

11. Consecutive charging may cause overheating. If you need to recharge batteries consecutively, wait about 15 minutes for the charger to cool.

SAFETY WARNINGS

Additional Safety Warnings

| To prevent eye injuries, always wear EN166 safety glasses with permanently attached rigid, hard plastic side shields.
Be sure everyone in your work area is wearing the same type of safety glasses.
---|---
| DANGER
The Fusion tool is charged with compressed air in a sealed chamber. Prior to any service or repair, release the charge of pressurized gas.
The pressurized air must be released prior to service. Major components such as the piston/driver assembly, gearbox, piston stop and guide body are all part of the drive assembly.
Deliberate tampering with the drive assembly may result in the release of the driver.
Any repair or upgrade requiring access to the pressure chamber may be handled by an authorized Semco dealer or service center.

Disconnect tool from battery when:

• Outside of the operator’s supervision or control.
• Performing maintenance or repair
• Clearing a jam
• Moving the tool to a new location
• Adjusting depth of drive

With battery disconnected, make daily inspection to assure free movement of workpiece contact element and trigger. Do not use tool if workpiece contact element or trigger sticks or binds.
Always remove finger from trigger when not driving fasteners. Never carry the tool with finger on or under trigger. Tool will eject a fastener if the workpiece contact element is bumped and the trigger is pulled.
Drive fasteners into work surface only; never into materials too hard to penetrate.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at too steep of an angle; the fasteners can ricochet and hurt someone.
When using tool, care should be taken due to possibility of tool recoil after a fastener is driven. If workpiece contact element is unintentionally allowed to re-contact work surface following a recoil, an unwanted fastener may be driven.  Therefore, allow tool to recoil completely off work surface after a fastener is driven to avoid this condition. Do not push workpiece contact element on work surface until a second fastener is desired.

Please review triggering options.
Do not drive fasteners close to the edge of the work surface. The workpiece is likely to split and the fastener could fly or ricochet and hit someone.
Never use any part of the tool (i.e., the cap or midbody ) as a hammer. The tool may activate or become damaged and result in an unsafe condition.
Keep hands and other body parts away from the area shown in the circle to avoid possible injury during operation.

Do not use tool without Danger Label on tool. If label is missing, damaged or unreadable, contact your SENCO representative to obtain a new label at no cost.

| Tool Use
---|---
| Read and understand tool labels and manual. Failure to follow warnings will result in DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.
| Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with side shields.
| Keep fingers AWAY from trigger when not driving fasteners, to avoid accidental firing.
Choice of triggering method is important. See page 12 for triggering options.
Never point tool at yourself or others in work area.
Always point the tool away when connecting battery.
Do not alter or remove trigger or safety.

Tools shall not be modified without written approval of the manufacturer.
