Tool Service - Freeman PE2118G Mode D'emploi

When operating the tool keep tool away from
wet conditions. Wet tools can cause electrical
shock.
Always inspect electrical cord for damage
before and after use. A damaged cord can cause
electrical shock.
If you are operating the tool outside use a
extension cord that is rated for outdoor use.
If the user must use the tool in damp
conditions, use a ground fault circuit interrupt-
er (GFCI).
TOOL USE AND CARE
Know this tool. Read this manual carefully, learn
its applications and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Only use fasteners that are recommended for
your tool model by the manufacturer. Do not use
the wrong fasteners or load them incorrectly, as this
can cause jams or damage to the tool.
When you are able to, secure work pieces to a
stable platform using clamps or other tools.

tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which the tool
is being used.
Before making adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool disconnect the
tool from the battery. This will reduce the risk of
injury from the power tool.
Remove any adjustment wrenches or keys
before activating the tool. Leaving adjustment
accessories on the moving parts on the tool will
increase the risk of injury.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
Maintain tool with care. A properly maintained
tool will function more smoothly and prevent
binding, making it easier to use.
Check operation of the tool before use. Do not
use the tool if the workpiece contact mechanism is
not working correctly as accidental driving of a
fastener may occur.
Never use this tool in a manner that could
cause a fastener to be directed toward anything
other than the workpiece.

TOOL SERVICE

Only use accessories that are identified by the
manufacturer for the specific tool model.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of
injury.
Tool service must only be performed by a
qualified repair personnel.
OPERATION
Do not drive fasteners near the edge of the
material. The workpiece may split causing the
fastener to ricochet, injuring you or people in the
work area.
Do not carry the tool from place to place while
holding the trigger. Accidental discharge could
result.
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 tool against the work. Restriction to the
recoil can result in a second fastener being driven
from the tool. Grip the handle firmly and let the tool
do the work. 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.
Do not actuate the tool unless you intend to drive
a fastener into the workpiece.
Always handle the tool with care:
Respect the tool as a working implement.
Never engage in horseplay.
Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed
toward the workpiece.
Keep others at a safe distance from the tool
while tool is in operation as accidental
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
