Unpacking
• Carefully remove the power tool and accessories from the outer packaging.
• Inspect the power tool carefully to make sure no breakage or damage occurred during transit.

General safety instructions
Important. Tacwise recommends that this power tool should not be modified or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. Any such
alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to a personal injury. If you are unsure of its relative applications do not
hesitate to contact us and we will advise you.
Work area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Keep children, pets and all bystanders at a safe distance away from work area whilst operating the tool.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Provide adequate space surrounding the work area.
Do not use in environments with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust; power tools will create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to hold work. This frees both hands to operate the power tool.
Personal safety
• Stay alert. Always watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of medication,
alcohol or drugs.
• Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can catch in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Contain long hair and roll
long sleeves up above the elbow.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the switch is in the locked or off position before plugging the machine into the power supply.
• Do not overreach or use on unstable surfaces. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Use safety equipment. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, and hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Wear CE or UKCA
approved safety goggles at all times. Normal spectacles only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
Electrical safety
• Disconnect power from the tool when not in use, before servicing, when changing accessories such as fastenings etc. or storing the power tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Do not expose power tool to rain or wet conditions.
• 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.
• Protect yourself from electric shock. When working with power tools, avoid contact with any earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, hobs and
refrigerators.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the power tool by the power cable or pull it with force from the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords may create a fire or increase the risk of electric shock.
• Working outdoors. Only use an extension lead suitable for outdoor use. Be sure your extension lead is properly wired, and in good electrical condition.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not alter or misuse the power tool. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. A power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Do not fire if the fastenings are jammed. This will cause damage to the driver blade and could invite accidents.
• Keep fingers off the trigger until ready to drive the fastening.
• Do not use on hard surfaces such as rock, concrete, masonry, bricks or steel. Personal injury or damage to the power tool could result.
• Secure work. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Store power tools. When not in use, all power tools should be stored in a dry, locked cupboard and out of the reach of children and other untrained persons.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for misalignment or bending of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, immediately discontinue use and ensure the power tool is repaired by an authorised service agent before using again. Poorly
maintained power tools can result in accidents.
• Maintain power tools with care. Cables must be checked at regular intervals before use. If any signs of damage, do not use the power tool. Ensure the cable is
replaced by an authorised service agent before using again.
• Recommended accessories. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool
may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
• Keep the power tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease for the best and safest performance. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never
use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to clean your power tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control
and deterioration of the power tool housing.
Specific safety instructions
• Always assume the tool is loaded with fasteners. Handling the tool without care could result in an unexpected firing of fasteners and lead to personal injury.
• Use only the fastenings specified in the manual. Use of accessories that are not designed for this tool could result in personal injury and/or damage to the
power tool.
• Do not touch any parts of the power tool magazine or nose during operation. Hold only by the handle or housing of the tool.
