2. Release magazine by squeezing click lever. (Figure 4)
3. Loading brads: Hold the nail gun downwards and load
a strip of nails into the cartridge, with the points facing
downwards. (Figure 5) Push the rail until it clicks into
place. (Figure 6)
4. Use only recommended fasteners (see technical
specifi cations).
5. The tool and the fasteners specifi ed in the operating
instructions are to be considered as one unit safety
system.
TOOL USE
Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others

(Figure 7)
Adjust the mini pressure which is necessary for
the penetration of the fasteners. Then, make some
tests in starting with the lowest pressure.
4. Check whether the fastener has been driven into the
workpiece in accordance with the requirements.
- if the fastener is protruding, increase the air pressure
in increments of 0,5 bar, checking the result after
each new adjustment;
- if the fastener is driven into an excessive depth,
reduce the air pressure in increments of 0,5 bar until
the result is satisfactory.
5. You should endeavour in any event to work with the
lowest possible air pressure.
6. Hold the tool during the work operation in such a
way that no injuries can be caused to the head or to
the body in the event of a possible recoil consequent
upon a disruption in the energy supply or hard areas
within the workpiece.
7. The tool shall be disconnected from the compressed
air system for the purpose of transportation, especially
where ladders are used or where an unusual physical
posture is adopted whilst moving.
8. Carry the fastener driving tool at the workplace using
only the handle, and never with the trigger actuated.
9. Take conditions at the workplace into account.
Fasteners can penetrate thin workpieces or slip
off corners and edges of workpieces, and thus put
people at risk.
10. For personal safety, use protective equipment such as
hearing and eye protection.
11. The trigger and the safety yoke have to be actuated for
each driving operation, with the order of actuation not
being specifi ed. For repeated driving operations, it is
suffi cient if either the trigger remains activated and the
safety yoke is activated thereafter, or vice versa.
12. Avoid triggering the tool if the magazine is empty.
13. Any defective or improperly functioning tool must
immediately be disconnected from the compressed air
supply and passed to a specialist for inspection.
14. In the event of longer breaks in work or at the end
of the working shift, disconnect the tool from the
compressed air supply and it is recommended to
empty the magazine.

grade of oil (see TECHNICAL DATA). Where hose
lengths of over 10 m are used, the oil supply for
the fastener driving tool cannot be guaranteed. We
therefore recommend that 2 to 5 drops (depending
on the loading of the fastener driving tool ) of the
recommended oil (see TECHNICAL DATA) should be
added via the air inlet of the tool, or an oiler attached
directly to the fastener driving tool.
