General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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.
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 behaviour 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

Adjusting for Fastener Length

1. Remove battery before adjusting nosepiece for fastener length.
2. Depress the screw selector pin until it is flush with nosepiece and slide the nosepiece to the desired setting by aligning hatch marks with the silver adjustment pin.
3. Release pin and make sure it is fully engaged in selected nosepiece slot for proper operation.

Loading the Tool

1. Check to be sure the heads of the screws are resting on top of the plastic collation material.
   This will ensure proper strip advancement and prevent jamming.
   

2. Check for proper fastener length setting (see “Adjusting for Fastener Length” above).
   

3. Feed the strip into the strip guide track up toward the nose of the tool.
   

4. Feed the strip into the slide body until the first screw is aligned with the bit.
   The tool will feed all subsequent screws automatically as the tool is pulled back off the work surface, returning to its relaxed state.
   

5. To remove the strip, pull it through from the top of the side body.
   

Drive Speed Adjustment

Low speed tools can be switched from 2500 to 1600 RPM for driving self- drilling and tapping screws into heavy steel applications.
This can be done by depressing the drive speed adjustment button shown in Figure 1. A red LED will indicate that low speed mode (1600 RPM) is engaged. Click the button again to toggle back to normal mode (2500 RPM).
The most recently selected mode will be maintained indefinitely until the user presses the button again.

Driving Screws

1. Whenever possible, hold the tool at a right angle to the work surface.

2. Pull the trigger to start the motor.

3. Press the nosepiece with constant force against the work surface.
   Do not remove the tool from the work surface until the clutch disengages and the bit stops rotating, signalling a fully driven screw.

4. Continue to allow the motor to run.
   The next screw will be automatically fed into place when the tool is pulled off the work surface.

During the driving process it is possible for the tool to “cut-out” or stop the motor prematurely as a safety function to preserve the tool. If the motor senses a torque spike, an over-current protection function will activate. A partially driven screw can be driven fully by squeezing the trigger again to reset the tool/motor.
If this cut-out occurs repeatedly, please review the troubleshooting section for more details, or discontinue use in that application.

Trigger Lock

To lock the trigger for continuous operation, depress the trigger and push in the locking button then release the trigger.
The tool will continue to run. To turn off, squeeze and release the trigger.
