Driver. Therefore read all the precautions carefully and observe them when working with the equipment. Intended Use The Power Drive F35 Stud Driver from fischer is designed for the professional set- tings of the intended fastener elements (see chapter 8) in suitable substrates (see chapter 4).
The Stud Driver forms a technical unit together with the safety cartridges and ˚ fastener elements specified in chapter 8. For this reason only consumables, ac- cessories and spare parts from fischer designed for this tool may be used. Mechanical modification or manipulation of the tool is not permitted. Do not ˚...
Safety Precautions Working Environment The working area must be cordoned off and marked with warning signs when ˚ stud drivers are in use. The warning signs must bear the text "Stud drivers in operation" and be set up a sufficient distance from the area in which the tool is being used.

Safety Precautions If the cartridge does not fire If a cartridge does not fire, proceed as follows: ˚ If the cartridge does not fire, press the fastener element opening firmly against the working surface for 30 seconds. If the cartridge has still not fired after this time, release the trigger and relieve the pressure on the tool while still hold the fastener element opening against the working surface.
Safety Precautions Transport and Storage NOTE The cartridges to be used in the tool conform to hazardous goods class 1.4 S. The national regulations for the transport and storage of the cartridges must be observed at all times. Never store, transport and hand over the Stud Driver in loaded condition and with a fastener element inserted.
Description General Product Description The Power Drive F35 Stud Driver is a safe tool that can be employed for a wide range of applications by professional, certified users. The tool is intended for commercial use for fixing purposes by driving elements of the fischer accessories product range developed specially for this field of applica- tion into concrete, steel, solid brick and solid lime-sand brick.
Description Scope of Supply After unpacking, check the contents of the package. The following parts belong to the scope of supply of the tool: Power Drive F35 Stud Driver Clips (spare parts) Goggles Round brush, large Stabilizer Round brush, medium...
In view of its design, the tool is a Class A Stud Driver in accordance with the German Firearms Act. The Power Drive F35 Stud Driver operates on the indirect action principle. The firing of the cartridge creates a positive pressure in the combustion chamber. The posi- tive pressure acts on the contained piston and is transformed into motion energy (kinetic energy).
Before Starting Work Before working with the Stud Driver, it is essential that you familiarise yourself with the characteristics of the base material and of the fastener elements. The materials into which the fastener elements are to be driven must be analysed. The fastener elements, the cartridge and the setting of the 6-position power regulator are then selected on the basis of this analysis.
Page 14
Before Starting Work Correct shaft length of the fastener element The correct shaft length (L) is determined by the thickness of the part to be fixed ) and the effective anchoring depth (h ) using the following formula: fix L = t For fixtures with stud bolts, the necessary shaft length corresponds to the effective anchoring depth (h ), the thickness of the part to be fixed (t...
Before Starting Work Guidelines for Fastening The guidelines described below must be observed for fixtures in different base materials. General Do not drive fastener elements into cast iron, aerated concrete, thin sheet metal ˚ (< 4 mm), ceramic tiles, hollow bricks, insulating materials, rock, copper, brass, bronze, plastic, marble or glass.
Page 16
Before Starting Work Minimum distance between centres (s The minimum distance between centres = 75 mm ) of the fastener elements must be 75 mm. If a smaller distance is necessary, carry out a test fixing first, as the area between the fastener elements may break away.
Page 17
Before Starting Work Distance from weld seams The minimum distance from weld min. 50 mm seams must be 50 mm. Distance from holes The minimum distance from holes in the min. 15 mm base material must be 15 mm. Masonry For installation in masonry, the fastener element must always be driven into the brick (solid brick).
Operation Handling DANGER! If not used for the intended purpose the tool, the associated anchoring and fastener elements and the accessories available as options can pose a considerable source of danger for the operator and other persons in the vicinity. ▸...

Operation NOTE It should be possible to insert the fastener element without force. If it should be difficult to insert the element, check the compatibility of the fastener element with the tool and the condition of the guide disc on the fastener element. If necessary, use a different fastener element.
Page 20
Operation Setting the power regulator The force acting on the fastener element can be adjusted by turning the 6-position power regulator on the right-hand side of the housing. Position 1 = Lowest force Position 6 = Highest force Check the setting of the 6-position ˚...

Operation Remove the cartridge strip Pull the cartridge strip out from ˚ above. If necessary, insert a new cartridge ˚ strip as described above. Remove the cartridge strip after finishing work. Ensure that no fastener element remains in the tool.
Service and Maintenance Service and maintenance of the tool entails dismantling and cleaning the moving parts at regular intervals. Use commercially available weapon oil and the cleaning brushes supplied with the tool. If the tool is used every day, it must also be serviced and maintained every day. Even when it is not in use, the service and maintenance steps described here should be carried out at least every 6 months.

▸ On no account should the cartridge strips be shortened. The power class of the fischer safety cartridges is shown as a number (3, 4, 6) on each cartridge package. The higher the number, the higher the power class. The power class is also indicated by the colour of the package, the label, a colour mark on the tip of each cartridge and the plastic strip.
Consumables Fastener elements Studs with smooth shaft (FN) Steel head: 8.15 mm x 1.7 mm Shaft diameter: 3.7 mm The FN stud is intended for the permanent fixing of fasteners in concrete, certain types of masonry and structural steel. The studs have an 8 mm washer over their tip to hold the stud in the fastener guide so that it remains centered during the application.
