FASTENING
Because of differences in hardness of concrete and thickness of steel, fastenings to these materials requires different strength of power.
Using tool you have a possibility of stepless power regulation by turning the
handwheel until the resistance of required power is reached.
The proper power selection is the matter of experience and needs a number
of trial fastenings.The first test should be made with the lowest power, and
then power should be increased until desired penetration is reached.
MINIMUM CENTRE DISTANCE: nails should be fixed with a distance not less than 80 mm the one from the other in concrete. For fixing on steel the
minimum distance should be at least of 20 mm.
MINIMUM EDGE DISTANCE : When nails are fixed into concrete keep a distance of at least 80 mm. When nails are shot into steel keep an edge distance of
at least 20 mm.
MINIMUM THICKNESS OF THE BASE MATERIAL: For fixings into concrete min. 80 mm, for fixings into steel min. 4 mm.
DO NOT FASTEN ITO STEEL THINNER THAN THE FASTENER SHANK DIAMETER.
The fixing will be visible after the shoot.
To eliminate spalling, a Spall Shield should be used.
You should not use your tool to do fastenings into roof tiles, hollow bricks, glazing bricks, surface-hardened steel. It is forbidden to use the tool for fixing
fragile material, even if is hard, such as cast iron, hardened steel, marble, granite, glass, ceramic material, drilled bricks, etc. NEVER DO FASTENINGS

TROUBLES DURING SHOOTING
If a cartridge misfires, hold the tool against the work surface and pull the trigger again. At the case of failure to do so, keep the tool in the above position
for about 30 seconds. Take the tool away from the work surface and depress it again to advance the next cartridge. Please make sure that the misfired
cartridge can not be used again.
If you hear a very low noise shooting, it means that the cartridge power has not completely burned. In this case you must disasseble the tool and clean
carefully the barrel, the head of the piston and the bottom of the barrel hole.

described above.
If you have any problem with the cartridge, please stop and call our technical service.
