3.3 FILLING THE MAGAZINE
Only those fasteners specified under technical data
(see 2) may be used.
When filling the magazine, hold the tool so that the
muzzle is not pointing towards your own body or to-
wards any other person. Do not load the tool with fas-
teners with the safety yoke or trigger depressed.
Further design-related specifications such as the fas-
tener insertion or removal as well as filling can be
found in the technical data sheet.
3.4. HANDLING THE TOOL
Note section 1. Special references of these operating
instructions.
Having checked that the fastener driving tool is func-
tioning correctly, apply the tool to a workpiece and
actuate the trigger.
You should endeavour in any event to work with the
lowest possible air pressure. This will give you three
signifi cant advantages:
1. energy will be saved,
2. less noise will be produced,
3. a reduction in fastener driving tool wear will be
achieved.
Avoid triggering the fastener driving tool if the maga-
zine is empty.
Any defective or improperly functioning fastener
driving 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 com-
pressed air supply and empty the magazine.
The compressed air connectors of the fastener driv-
ing tool and the hoses should be protected against
contamination. The ingression of coarse dust, chips,
sand etc. will result in leaks and damage to the fas-
tener driving tool and the couplings.
Keep the tool dry.
3.5 SUITABLE NAILS
We recommend the use of machine nails for our nail-
er, as these have a clean finish and are therefore the
most suitable. We can supply you with the name of a
suitable manufacturer upon request. Nails with bulg-
ing, irregular and non-circular heads must not be
used. Nails bearing a pronounced fluting or ribbing
on the shaft should be avoided.
Other nails i.e. spiral nails, annular grooved nails,
harpoon-type nails and screw nails may be used, with
limitations depending on size, wood and available air
pressure.
Remember: a single, bad nail could become the direct
cause of a serious malfunction.
3.6 PENETRATION SETTING
When the tool leaves the factory it is adjusted in such
a way that the fastener is driven in flush when the
necessary operating pressure is used. If the fastener
is driven in too far, the correct lower operating pres-
sure has to be set.
Only if this is not sufficient or if the driver is too short
after the tip has been ground, an adjustment must be
made. Adjustment is only possible in the unpressu-
rized condition.
Therefore disconnect the tool from the supply hose.
3.7 CLINCH NAILING
This procedure is used when you require a particu-
larly stable joint (cases, diagonal fences).
The nails should be approx. 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59
inch) longer than the thickness of the actual work-
piece. Place the workpiece
on a table which is covered
with a steel plate and set the
nailer (tilted by approx. 45°)
on the workpiece and press
firmly. The nail is then driven
through the workpiece and
clinched on the rear side.
4.
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect fastener from hose before servicing.
When connecting the tool, it must not contain any
fasteners.
Maintain the tool properly; clean it frequently, and oil
the moving parts once a week.
The fastener has special grease so that no additional
greasing is necessary between regular maintenance
work. Additional greasing with the lubricator of the
maintenance unit or a line lubricator increase the
length of time before re-greasing the surface of the
cylinder.
After approx. 100 000 driven fasteners, or at least
once a year, have the tool inspected by a specialist in
order to guarantee the safe function of the fastener
driving tool.
