It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration level represents the main
applications of the direct fastening tool. However, if the direct fastening tool is used for different applications,
with different items of equipment or accessories or is poorly maintained, the vibration level may vary. This
may significantly increase the exposure to vibration over the total working period. An accurate estimation of
exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is not actually in use. This may
significantly reduce the exposure to vibration over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintenance
of the direct fastening tool and its additional equipment or accessories, keeping the hands warm, organization
of work patterns.

5 Loading the fastening tool
5.1 Loading for driving nails
5.1.1 Equipment required for driving nails
Nails are fed through the magazine in strip form (ready-to-use strips of nails).
Note
When driving nails there must be no single-fastener adapter present in the tool .
5.1.2 Loading the magazine
1. Pull the nail pusher back until it engages.
2. Slide the nail strips into the magazine as far as they will go.
Note
Strips of short nails could be inadvertently inserted the wrong way round. With short nails, take
care to ensure that the tips of the nails point towards the nose of the tool.
WARNING
Risk of pinching fingers! Fingers could be pinched when the nail pusher is released.
▶ When disengaging the nail pusher, do not release it and allow it to jump forward. Guide it forward
slowly as far as it will go.
3. Release the nail pusher and guide it forward as far as it will go.
5.1.3 Inserting the gas can
1. Open the gas can compartment cover.
2. Removethecapfromthegascan.
Note
Keep the cap so that it can be used to close the gas can securely when it is removed from the
tool,e.g.whenunloadingandfortransport.
3. Slide the gas can into the gas can compartment, valve first, so that the gas can clip enters the opening
for the clip and engages securely.
4. Close the gas can compartment cover.
5. Without pulling the trigger, firmly press the nose of the fastening tool twice against the working surface
in order to force the air out of the gas supply tubes.
5.2 Loading for driving threaded studs
5.2.1 Equipment required for driving threaded studs
Threaded studs must be inserted singly in the fastener guide from the front. An adapter is required for driving
single fasteners. Each package of threaded studs contains an adapter for driving single fasteners.
