can fire under the pressure of at least 0,17 kN (17 kg).
The BOSS 4000 can be used in its single shot version.
The BOSS 4000 tool can fix nails until 75 mm.
Power regulator allows to use a wide range of available powers only employing the red cartridges. Please, only use cartridges 6.8x11 mm. Each cartridge
strip allows to shoot up to 10 nails.
Automatic cartridge advance system and semi-automatic reloading of piston.
Easy assembly and maintenance, very versatile.
Minimum recoil, low noise thanks to the interior silencer.

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
