SWITCHING ON AND OFF

At 

fi

 rst, 

fi

 rmly place the tacker head against the workpiece 

until it is pushed in a few millimeters. Afterwards, brie

fl

 y 

press the trigger and then release again.

The trigger lock, which is connected with the movable 

tacker head, prevents unintentional shot actuation when 

the trigger is inadvertently pressed.

For rapid working, keep the trigger pressed. Position the 

machine and press the tacker head 

fi

 rmly against the work-

piece until the shot is actuated. After the shot, move the 

tacker to the next location and press the tacker head 

fi

 rmly 

onto the workpiece again.

HAMMER-FORCE PRESELECTION

With the thumbwheel for hammer-force preselection, it is 

possible to preselect the required hammer force in steps. 

The required hammer force depends on the length of the 

staples or nails, and on the strength of the material. The 

optimal hammerforce setting is best determined through 

practical testing.

WORKING ADVICE

●

  This machine is not suitable for working with 19 mm sta-

ples. Therefore, do not use the machine to fasten ceiling 

panelling with pro

fi

 led wood or grooves.

Avoid blank shots in order to reduce the wear of the impact 

striker.

The machine is designed only for intermittent operation 

and will warm up with continuous use. The tacking force 

is reduced as a result of heating up. Therefore, allow the 

machine to cool off after 15 minutes (maximum) of continu-

ous operation.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

●

  Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains 

plug.

●

  For safe and proper working, always keep the machine 

and ventilation slots clean. If the machine should fail 

despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing pro-

cedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales 

service centre for SBM Group.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR TACKERS

●

  Always assume that the tool contains fasteners. Care-

less handling of the tacker can result in unexpected 

fi

 ring of fasteners and personal injury.

●

  Do not point the tool towards yourself or anyone nearby. 

Unexpected triggering will discharge the fastener caus-

ing an injury.

●

  Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed 

fi

 rmly 

against the workpiece. If the tool is not in contact with 

the workpiece, the fastener may be de

fl

 ected 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 tacker 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 

fi

 re hazards.

●

  Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hid-

den in the work area or call the local utility company for 

assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to 

fi

 re 

and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to ex-

plosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-

age or may cause an electric shock.

●

  Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-

ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by 

hand.

Products sold in GB only: Your product is 

fi

 tted with an BS 

1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA ap-

proved to BS 1362).

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should 

be cut off and an appropriate plug 

fi

 tted in its place by an 

authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug 

should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible 

shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains 

socket elsewhere.

Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual cur-

rent device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA 

or less.

ASSEMBLY

●

  Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains 

plug.

●

  Press on both sides of the magazine slider and pull out 

the magazine.

●

  Insert the staple strip or the nail strip. Hold the tacker at 

a slight angle when inserting the nail strip, so that the 

nails face against the sidewall.

●

  Slide in the magazine until the closure on the magazine 

slider engages.

OPERATION

STARTING OPERATION

●

 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the 

power source must agree with the voltage speci

fi

 ed on 

the nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 

230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
