7.1 Loading the characters
The marking head can receive 7 characters 8 mm width
or 10 characters 5.6 mm width
1. Insert the characters according to the mark desired.
Locking lever in the unblocked position.
2. Always insert the marking characters in the middle
of the marking head. An equal number of space char-
acters should be inserted on each side of the string
of characters.
3. If necessary, compensate an uneven edge distance
by using the <–> marking character. This helps ensu-
re an even impact.
4. After inserting the desired marking characters, they
must be secured by turning the locking lever.
5. The tool and head are now in the ready to operate
position.
CAUTION :
● Use only original space characters as blank space. In
emergency, a normal character can be ground off and
used.
● Do not insert marking characters upside-down. This
results in shorter life length of the impact extractor and
reduces the marking quality

7.2 Inserting the cartridge strip
Load the cartridge strip (narrow end first) by inserting
it into the bottom of the tool grip until flush. If the strip
has been partly used, pull it through until an unused car-
tridge is in the chamber. (The last visible number on the
back of the cartridge strip indicates which cartridge is
next to be fired.)

7.3 Adjusting the driving power
Select a cartridge power level and power setting to suit
the application. If you cannot estimate this on the basis
of previous experience, always begin with the lowest
power.
1. Press the release button.
2. Turn the power regulation wheel to 1.
3. Fire the tool.
4. If the mark is not clear enough (i.e. not deep enough),
increase the power setting by turning the power regu-
lation wheel. If necessary, use a more powerful car-
tridge.

angle.

out of the tool. Load a new cartridge strip.
