After the initial use, you may notice a decrease in performance. Refilling the air pressure tank to 125 psi can help restore the unit’s performance.

Connect an inflator/air compressor to the valve and pressurize the tank to a maximum of 125 psi. Allow the tool to recharge for approximately 30 seconds. Type of air chuck required: Compatible with Schrader Valve with 0.305”-32TPI thread
NOTE: It is normal to hear a hissing sound while the tank is being refilled. Do not overfill. Always check the pressure before use. If overfilling occurs, a safety overflow valve will open to allow the excessive pressure to escape. Once the pressure has decreased, the valve will close automatically.
WARNING!
Never pressurize the tank to more than 125 psi. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

Sound pressure level (K = 3 dB (A)) …………………………… LwA = 106.5 dB (A)
Wear ear protectors!
Total vibration values (vector sum in the three axes) were determined according to EN 60745.

Vibration emission value…………………………….  ah = 12.2 m/s 2
Uncertainty K…………………………………………….  1.5 m/s 2
WARNING
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardized test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organizing work patterns.

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.

NAILER SAFETY WARNINGS

Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Careless handling of the nailer can result in the unexpected firing of fasteners and personal injury.
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone nearby.  Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener causing an 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 nailer 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.
When fastening electrical cables, make sure the cables are not energized. Hold the tacker only by insulating gripping surfaces.
Inspect that the fastener has not damaged the insulation of the electrical cables. A fastener that damages the insulation of electric cables can lead to electric shock and fire hazards.
Do not use this nailer 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. Additional safety warnings
The tool is designed for single-hand use. Do not hold the tool by the front of the magazine. Do not put your hands, head, or other parts of your body near the bottom of the magazine where the nail exits the tool, as serious personal injury could be caused.
Always ensure that the workpiece contact is fully positioned above the workpiece. Positioning the workpiece contact only partially above the workpiece could cause the nail to miss the workpiece completely and result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive nails near the edge of the material. The workpiece may split causing the nail to ricochet, injuring you or a coworker. Be aware that the nail may follow the grain of the wood, causing it to protrude unexpectedly from the side of the work material or deflect, possibly causing injury.
Keep hands and body parts clear of the immediate work area. Hold the workpiece with clamps when necessary to keep hands and body out of potential harm. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before pressing the fastener against the material. The workpiece contact may cause the work material to shift unexpectedly.
Keep face and body parts away from the back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in impact to the body, especially when nailing into a hard or dense material.
During normal use, the tool will recoil immediately after driving a fastener. This is a normal function of the tool. Do not attempt to prevent the recoil by holding the nailer against the work. Restriction to the recoil can result in a second fastener being driven from the nailer. Grip the handle firmly, let the tool do the work, and do not place
your second hand on top of the tool or near the exhaust at any time. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
Do not drive fasteners on top of other fasteners or with the tool at an overly steep angle as this may cause deflection of fasteners which could cause injury.
Always check the work area for hidden wiring, gas lines, water lines, etc., before using the product on such a work area.
After using the product in the contact actuation mode, switch it back to the full sequential mode.
The driving depth of the nail may be adjusted beyond air pressure. It is advisable to test the depth on a scrap workpiece to determine the required depth for the application.
Only fasteners matching the description in the product specifications table can be used with this tool. Using incorrect fasteners may lead to jamming or other malfunctions.
Always remove the battery before adjusting the depth of the drive.
Do not press the trigger while adjusting the depth of the drive. Always select full sequential firing mode before adjusting the depth of the drive.
Do not point the tool toward yourself or anyone nearby when adjusting the depth of the drive.
The product will restart automatically if stalled. Switch off the product immediately if it stalls. Do not switch on the product again while it is still stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why the product stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions.
The ambient temperature range for the tool during operation is between 0°C and 40°C.
The ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0°C and 40°C.
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Clamp the workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the product is running.
When working in walls, ceilings, or floors, take care to avoid electric cables and gas or water pipes.

The ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and 27°C.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local, national, and international provisions and regulations.

• The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
• Commercial transport of lithium-ion batteries by third parties is subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport are exclusive to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.

When transporting batteries:

• Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent short circuits.
• Ensure that the battery pack is secured against movement within the packaging.
• Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak. Check with the forwarding company for further advice.

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION

The battery pack has overload protection that protects it from being overloaded and helps to ensure long life. Under extreme stress the battery electronics switch off the product automatically. To restart, switch the product off and then on again. If the product does not start up again, the battery pack may have discharged completely. In this case it must be recharged in the battery charger.

THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION

Overheated cells will reduce performance, run time and life. Overheating can occur from battery packs being exposed to very hot environments or from the tool they are powering being overworked. The control electronics will automatically shut down the battery pack to protect the cells which in turn protects the electronics and motor within the tool. The battery pack will automatically shut itself down again should the temperature condition remain high when the trigger is pulled again. The system will continue to shut the battery pack down until the temperature is returned to a safe operating level.

CURRENT OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The control electronics will instantly shut down the battery back when the excessive current draw is detected – protecting both the battery cells and the motor of the tool. Releasing the trigger will reset the battery pack each time.

INDIVIDUAL CELL MONITORING

The control electronics constantly check each individual cell and automatically adjust its charge and discharge requirements accordingly.
This system maximizes individual cell life whilst ensuring that the battery pack is delivering peak performance to the tool at all times.

MAINTENANCE

The ventilation slots of the product must be kept clear at all times.
IMPORTANT! Do not throw away the hard case. Store the product in the hard case to protect it during transport. Without it, your warranty may be void if the product is damaged upon arrival to the service center.
