LOADING
• Disconnectthetoolfromairsupply.(Figure 3)
Release magazine by squeezing click lever. (Figure 4)
• Loadingstaples:Turnthegunover.Loadastripof
staples into the magazine, with the points downwards.
Then shut the magazine by pushing it fully upwards.
Use only recommended fasteners (see technical
specifications). (Figure 5)
• Thetoolandthefastenersspeciedintheoperating
instructions are to be considered as one unit safety
system.
TOOL USE
• Keeptoolpointedawayfromyourselfandothersand
connect tool to air supply.
• Toolsshallbeoperatedatthelowestpressureneeded
for the application. This will reduce noise levels, part
wear and energy use.
• Pressthenoseofthetoolontotheworkpiecetobe
fastened and press the trigger to fire staples. Adjust the
mini pressure which is necessary for the penetration of
the fasteners. Then, make some tests in starting with
the lowest pressure. (Figure 6)
• Checkwhetherthefastenerhasbeendrivenintothe
workpiece in accordance with the requirements.
- if the fastener is protruding, increase the air pressure
in increments of 0,5 bar, checking the result after each
new adjustment;
- if the fastener is driven into an excessive depth, reduce
the air pressure in increments of 0,5 bar until the result
is satisfactory.
You should endeavour in any event to work with the lowest
possible air pressure.
Hold the tool during the work operation in such a way that
no injuries can be caused to the head or to the body in the
event of a possible recoil consequent upon a disruption in
the energy supply or hard areas within the workpiece.
The tool shall be disconnected from the compressed air
system for the purpose of transportation, especially where
ladders are used or where an unusual physical posture is
adopted whilst moving.
Carry the fastener driving tool at the workplace using only
the handle, and never with the trigger actuated.
Take conditions at the workplace into account. Fasteners
can penetrate thin workpieces or slip off corners and
edges of workpieces, and thus put people at risk.
For personal safety, use protective equipment such as
hearing and eye protection.
The trigger and the safety yoke have to be actuated for
each driving operation, with the order of actuation not
being specified. For repeated driving operations, it is
sufficient if either the trigger remains activated and the
safety yoke is activated thereafter, or vice versa.
Avoid triggering the tool if the magazine is empty.
Any defective or improperly functioning tool must
immediately be disconnected from the compressed air
supply and passed to a specialist for inspection.
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 it is recommended to empty the magazine.
The compressed air connectors of the tool and the hoses
should be protected against contamination. The ingress

These values are tool-related characteristic values and do
not represent noise generation at the point of use. Noise
at the point of use will for example depend on the working
environment, the working piece, the workpiece support,
and the number of driving operation. Workplace design
can also serve to reduce noise levels, for example placing
workpiece on sound-damping supports.

This value is a tool-related characteristic value and does
not represent the influence to the hand-arm-system when
using the tool. Any influence to the hand-arm system when
using the tool will for example depend on the gripping
force, the contact pressure force, the working direction,
the adjustment of energy supply, the workpiece, the
workpiece support.
SAFETY WARNINGS
Read these warnings to prevent injuries to
yourself and bystanders.
Refer to tool use, maintenance and
troubleshooting sections for additional
information.
Use recommended fasteners only.
•
Never point the tool at people or yourself.
• Thistoolisnotintendedtobeusedbypeople
(children included) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or persons lacking experience
or knowledge, unless they were able to benefit from
a person responsible for their safety, monitoring or
screening instructions regarding the use of the device.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the tool.
• Topreventeyeinjuries,alwayswearsafety
glasses with permanently attached rigid,
hard plastic side shields. Be sure everyone
in your work area is wearing the same type
of safety glasses.
• Wearanddowearindividualearprotection

• Wearanyothernecessaryprotection
equipment such as gloves and adapted
working clothes. Tie back your hair and do not wear
loose clothing.
• Neveruseoxygen,carbondioxideorany
other bottled gas as a power source
for this tool. The tool could explode and
serious personal injury could result.
• Useonlylubricated,water-freecompressedairatthe

the maximum allowable pressure of the tool cannot be
exceeded by more than 10 %; in the case of higher
pressures, a pressure reducing valve which includes
a downstream safety valve shall be built into the
compressed air supply; Quick-action couplings shall
be used for connection to the compressed air system
and the non-sealable nipple must be fitted at the tool in
such a way that no compressed air remains in the tool
after disconnection.
