2. Description
The tool is designed for driving specially manufactured
nails (fasteners) into concrete, steel and other materials
suitable for the direct fastening technique (please refer
to the Fastening Technology Manual). The piston princi-
ple employed ensures maximum operating safety and
fastening reliability. Gas is used as a propellant.
The tool, gas can, valve head and fasteners form a sin-
gle technical unit. This means that the tool can achieve
optimum fastening performance only when used in con-
junction with the Hilti fasteners and gas cans specially
designed and manufactured for it. The fastening and
application recommendations given by Hilti apply only
when these conditions are observed.
2.1 Piston principle
The energy from the propellant charge is transferred to
a piston, the accelerated mass of which drives the fas-
tener into the base material. As approximately 95 % of
the kinetic energy is absorbed by the piston, the fasten-
er is driven into the base material at much reduced veloc-

ity (less than 100 m/sec.) in a controlled manner. The
fastener driving process ends when the piston reaches
the end of its travel. This makes dangerous through-shots
virtually impossible when the tool is used correctly.
2.2 Drop-firing safety device
The drop-firing safety device is the result of coupling the
firing mechanism with the cocking movement. This pre-
vents the tool from firing when dropped onto a hard sur-
face, no matter at which angle the impact occurs.
2.3 Trigger safety device
The trigger safety device ensures that a fastener cannot
be driven simply by pulling the trigger only. The tool must
be pressed against a firm surface before a fastener can
be released.
2.3.1 Contact pressure safety device
The tool can be fired only when pressed against a firm
surface with a significant force.
