DeWalt DC608 Guide D'utilisation page 4

• Do not point the tool towards yourself
or anyone nearby. Unexpected triggering
will discharge a 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 tacker 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.
Additional Nailer Safety
Warnings
WARNING: When using any nailer, all
safety precautions, as outlined below, should
be followed to avoid the risk of death or
serious injury. Read and understand all
instructions before operating the tool.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts
of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
• Actuating tool may result in flying
debris, collation material, or dust
which could harm operator's eyes.
Operator and others in work area MUST
wear safety glasses with side shields.
These safety glasses must conform to
ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved
glasses have "Z87" printed or stamped
on them. It is the employer's responsibility
to enforce the use of eye protection
equipment by the tool operator and other
people in the work area. (Fig. A)
• Always wear appropriate personal
hearing and other protection during
use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss. (Fig. A)
• Disconnect battery pack from the
FIG. A
tool when not in use. Always remove
battery pack and remove fasteners
from magazine before leaving the
area or passing the tool to another
operator. Do not carry tool to another
work area in which changing location
involves the use of scaffoldings,
stairs, ladders, and the like, with
FIG. B
battery pack connected. Do not make
adjustments, perform maintenance
or clear jammed fasteners while
battery is in place.
• Do not remove, tamper with, or
otherwise cause the tool, trigger,
contact trip lock-off, or contact trip to
become inoperable. Do not tape or tie
trigger or contact trip in the ON position.
Do not remove spring from contact trip.
FIG. C
Make daily inspections for free movement
of trigger and contact trip. Uncontrolled
discharge could result.
• Inspect tool before use. Do not
operate a tool if any portion of
the tool, trigger, contact trip lock-
off, or contact trip is inoperable,
disconnected, altered, or not working
properly. Damaged parts or missing
parts should be repaired or replaced
before use. Refer to Repairs.
FIG. D
• Do not alter or modify the tool in any
way.
• Always assume that the tool contains
fasteners.
an
• Do not point the tool at co-workers
or yourself at any time. No horseplay!
Work safe! Respect the tool as a working
implement. (Fig. B)
• Keep
visitors away while operating a power
FIG. E
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control. When tool is not in use, it should
be locked in a safe place, out of the reach
of children.
• Do not carry the tool from place to
place holding the trigger. Accidental
discharge could result.
• Always use contact trip lock-off
when tool is not in immediate use.
Using the contact trip lock-off will prevent
FIG. F
accidental discharge.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper
footing and balance at all times. Loss
of balance may cause personal injury.

• Use the tool only for its intended
use. Do not discharge fasteners
into open air, concrete, stone,
extremely hard woods, knots or any
material too hard for the fastener to
penetrate. Do not use the body of the
tool or top cap as a hammer. Discharged
fasteners may follow unexpected path
and cause injury. (Figs. D, F)
• Always keep fingers clear
contact trip to prevent injury from
inadvertent release of the pusher
(Fig. H)
• Refer to the Maintenance and Repairs
sections for detailed information on
the proper maintenance of the tool.
• Always operate the tool in a clean,
lighted area. Be sure the work surface
is clear of any debris and be careful not
to lose footing when working in elevated
environments such as rooftops.
• Do not drive fasteners near edge
of material. The workpiece may split
causing the fastener to ricochet, injuring
you or a co-worker. Be aware that the nail
may follow the grain of the wood (shiner),
causing it to protrude unexpectedly from
the side of the work material. Drive the
chisel point of the nail perpendicular to
the grain to reduce risk of injury. (Figs. E,
F, M)
• Do not drive nails onto the heads of
other fasteners or with the tool at
too steep an angle. Personal injury
from strong recoil, jammed fasteners,
or ricocheted nails may result.
(Fig. G)
• Keep hands and body parts clear of
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 nailer against the
material. The contact trip may cause
the work material to shift unexpectedly.
(Fig. H)
• Do not use tool in the presence of
flammable dust, gases or fumes. The
tool may produce a spark that could
ignite gases causing a fire. Driving a nail
into another nail may also cause a spark.
