Connect the device to a suitable source of
compressed air.

hose to the (filter) / pressure reducer at the
compressor.
Q
Loading the magazine
nOtE:
Never place nails into the intermediate
opening; this opening is intended for staples. Oth-
erwise this could lead to a blockage in the driver
and prevent the proper exit of the driven fastener.
1. Press the magazine lever

and pull back the
magazine

.
nOtE:
Note that only staples with a length
of 16 - 32 mm and nails with a length of
15 - 32 mm may be placed in the magazine.
2. Place some compliant driven fasteners (nails,
see Fig.
01
or staples, see Fig.

) in the
magazine

Q
Operation
j
Load the magazine

of the compressed air
tacker, as described in the section about
“Loading the magazine”.
j
Using the pressure reducer, set the correct
working air pressure.
j
Ensure that the maximum working air pressure
at the device of 7 bar is not exceeded. An in-
creased working air pressure does not improve
performance but only increases the consump-
tion of compressed air and accelerates wear.
j
Switch compressor on.
j
Allow the compressor to run until the maximum
reservoir pressure has been reached and then
switch off the device.
j
Place the compressed air tacker on to the
workpiece and press the trigger
2
.
nOtE:
the compressed air tacker
is fitted with a trigger lock
7
. the
driven fastener only exits the device
if the opening of the compressed air tacker is
pressed against the workpiece and the trigger
is pressed. this safety feature ensures that
driven fasteners such as staples and nails can-
not exit the device in an uncontrolled manner.
j
Check whether the driven fastener is driven into
the workpiece in accordance with your require-
ments.
- If the driven fastener projects above the work-
piece surface, increase the compressed air
pressure in 0.5 bar steps until a satisfactory
result is achieved.
- If the driven fastener lies too far below the
workpiece surface, reduce the working
pressure in 0.5 bar steps until a satisfactory
result is achieved.
In any event, you should make every effort to work
using the lowest adequate compressed air pressure.
this brings you three important advantages:
1) You save energy,
2) You reduce the noise level,
3) You reduce the wear on the fastener driving tool.
j
Avoid triggering the fastener driving tool if the
magazine is empty.
