Usage Features
Tool Elements:
- A: Lever for loading magazine
- B: Slider
- C: Magazine
- D: Tacker head
- E: Soft grip handle
- F: Trigger
- G: Impact control adjustment knob
- H: On/off switch
- I: Non-marring nose tip
Loading Staples/Nails:
- Tilt the tool or lay it flat to prevent fasteners from dropping out.
- Press lever A while pulling slider B backwards.
- Place the nail strip into magazine C (maximum capacity 100 fasteners).
- For staples: Ensure the staple strip is loaded with the crown aligning with the top line of the magazine C.
- For nails: Ensure the nail strip is loaded with the tapered end aligning with the bottom line of the magazine C, so the brad nail head rests right into the grooves corresponding to the nail length symbol on tacker head D.
- Push slider B against tacker head D until it snap-locks.
Operating the Tool:
- Firmly press tacker head D against the workpiece until it is pushed in a few millimeters.
- Briefly press trigger F and then release.
- The trigger F is locked as long as the tacker head D is not pressed against the workpiece, preventing accidental operation.
- For continuous use, allow the tacker to cool down after 30 minutes for every 20 shots/min, as it is rated for short-time duty.
- Always remove all staples/nails from the magazine after each use.
Impact Control:
- The impact level can be adjusted with knob G.
- The indicator G shows the selected impact level.
- Use "-" for thin and light materials (foils, fabrics).
- Use "+" for thick and tough materials (hard woods, walls).
- Before starting a job, test the optimal impact level on a spare material.
Application Advice:
- The tool is suitable for fastening panels.
- Do not use the tool for fastening ceiling paneling on profiled wood or grooves.
- It can be used for fixing textiles.
- Avoid blank shots to reduce wear on the impact strike.
Two-Handed Operation:
- Due to the recoil when firing, two-handed operation is suggested for better control. One-hand operation is not recommended.
Unblocking Jammed Fasteners:
- Unplug the power cord from the power source before removing any jammed fasteners.
- Remove the nose tip I.
- Remove the plate retaining bolts C1.
- Remove the safety mechanism retaining plate C2.
- Remove the firing pin retaining plate C3.
- Note the location and order of parts removal to facilitate reassembly.
