Avoid triggering the fastener driving tool if the magazine
is empty.
Any defective or improperly functioning fastener driving
tool must immediately be disconnected from the com-
pressed air supply and passed to a specialist for inspec-
tion.
In the event of longer breaks in work or at the end of the
working shift, disconnect the tool from the compressed
air supply and empty the magazine.
The compressed air connectors of the fastener driving
tool and the hoses should be protected against contami-
nation. The ingression of coarse dust, chips, sand etc.
will result in leaks and damage to the fastener driving tool
and the couplings.
Keep the tool dry.
3.5 SUITABLE NAILS
We recommend the use of machine nails for our nailer,
as these have a clean finish and are therefore the most
suitable. We can supply you with the name of a suitable
manufacturer upon request. Nails with bulging, irregular
and non-circular heads must not be used. Nails bearing a
pronounced fluting or ribbing on the shaft should be
avoided.
Other nails i.e. spiral nails, annular grooved nails, har-
poon-type nails and screw nails may be used, with limita-
tions depending on size, wood and available air pressure.
Remember: a single, bad nail could become the direct
cause of a serious malfunction.
3.6 PENETRATION SETTING
When the tool leaves the factory it is adjusted in such a
way that the fastener is driven in flush when the necessary
operating pressure is used. If the fastener is driven in too
far, the correct lower operating pressure has to be set.
Only if this is not sufficient or if the driver is too short after
the tip has been ground, an adjustment must be made.
Adjustment is only possible in the unpressurized condi-
tion.
Therefore disconnect the tool from the supply hose.
3.7 CLINCH NAILING
This procedure is used when you require a particularly
stable joint (cases, diagonal fences).
The nails should be approx. 10 – 15 mm (0.39 –
0.59 inch) longer than the thickness of the actual work-
piece.
Place the workpiece on a
table which is covered with
a steel plate and set the
nailer (tilted by approx. 45°)
on the workpiece and press
firmly. The nail is then
driven through the work-
piece and clinched on the
rear side.
4. MAINTENANCE
Disconnect fastener from hose before servicing. When
connecting the tool, it must not contain any fasteners.
Maintain the tool properly; clean it frequently, and oil the
moving parts once a week.
The fastener has special grease so that no additional
greasing is necessary between regular maintenance
work. Additional greasing with the lubricator of the main-
tenance unit or a line lubricator increase the length of
time before re-greasing the surface of the cylinder.
After approx. 100 000 driven fasteners, or at least once a
year, have the tool inspected by a specialist in order to
guarantee the safe function of the fastener driving tool.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like.
Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

• The declared vibration emission value has been mea-
sured in accordance with the standard test method and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the oper-
ator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the
actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
