3.7 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 an uneven or undulating surface it may be necessary
to remove the support leg in order to allow the fastener guide to be held perpendicular to the working surface.
3.8 Belt hook
The belt hook can be extended in three stages.
