6 Operation
6.1 Using the support leg
On an even working surface, the support leg makes it easier to hold the fastening tool
perpendicular as attention then only has to be paid to lateral alignment. On uneven
surfaces it might be necessary to retract the support leg in order to ensure that the
fastener guide is perpendicular to the working surface.
6.1.1 Retracting the support leg
CAUTION
Risk of pinching the fingers!
When folding the support leg back there is a risk of
trapping and pinching the fingers between the support leg and the casing of the tool.
▶
Hold the fastening tool by the grip when extending/retracting the support leg.
1. Push against the support leg to release it from its engaged position.
2. Pivot the support leg back through about 180°.
3. Push against the support leg from below until it engages in the retracted position.
