WARNING

The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.  An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This 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/or noise such as: maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm, and organization of work patterns.

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.

CORDLESS 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 towards 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.
• 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.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the nail may contact hidden wiring. Nails contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Always wear eye protection with side shields. Everyday glasses have only impact-resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Eye protection provides protection against flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and others in the work area when loading, operating, or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
• Always remove the battery before adjusting the depth of the drive wheel.
• Do not pull back on the adjustment wheel, the wheel is designed to be rotated.
• Do not press the trigger while adjusting the depth of the drive wheel.
• Always select full sequential firing mode before adjusting the depth of drive.
• Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby when adjusting the depth of drive.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of this tool can cause injury to yourself and others.

• 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 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 back of the tool cap when working in restricted areas. Sudden recoil can result in an impact on 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 a second hand on top of 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 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 Technical Data can be used with this tool. Using incorrect fasteners may lead to jamming or other malfunctions.

• Do not select contact actuation mode when working on scaffolds, ladders or platforms where you may need to move your body position. You may unintentionally fire a nail by inadvertent activation of the workpiece contact while moving about if the contact actuation mode is selected. When moving positions, select full sequential activation or deactivate the product completely by removing the battery pack. This will reduce the potential for injury to yourself and others.

• Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to protect our environment.

• Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects
  (short circuit risk).

• No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the charger (short circuit risk).

• Use only 18 V chargers for charging 18 V battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.

• Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.

• Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with the battery, acid washes it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical attention.

• Warning! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

The nailer is intended for driving nails into wood or similar soft materials from a magazine containing a strip of suitable nails. The nails which can be safely loaded into the magazine for the product are described in the product specification table in this manual. Do not use any other type of nail or fixing with the nailer. Do not operate in contact actuation mode while working on a scaffold, ladder or other platforms where a change in working position is required. Use only full sequential mode in this case. The nailer should not be used for fixing electric cables. Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.
