Set the tool lug of the tacker on a piece of wood with a minimum
thickness of 20 mm.
Trigger the tacker (see chapter "Triggering device" on page 21).
Check the following properties:
-Every time the device is triggered, a fastener must be driven
into the piece of wood.
-To achieve the desired driving depth, alter the operating
pressure of the compressor (see page 15).
Repeat these steps if necessary.
The tacker is not ready for operation.

Operating the tacker
19
Operating the tacker
Regulating the driving depth via operating pressure
The driving depth of the fastener in the material can be set by
regulating the operating pressure. At a high operating pressure, the
fasteners are driven in deeper and not so deep at a lower operating
pressure.

Adjust the operating pressure so that the desired driving depth
is just reached. This offers the following advantages:
You save energy (compressed air),
You reduce the noise level, and
You reduce the wear on the tacker.
To adjust the operating pressure, proceed as follows:
Hold the tacker so that the tool lug faces down.
Adjust the pressure at the pressure regulator of the compressor.
Observe the pressure display of the compressor.
Check driving depth
Press the tool lug onto a sample wooden workpiece with the
same properties as the material to be worked on.
Check the setting by triggering once on the sample material.
Repeat these steps until the desired driving depth is set.

Operating the tacker
20
Driving in fasteners
WARNING
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
Before triggering the tacker, always ensure
that a power supply line cannot be struck.
WARNING
During operation, injuries to the eyes and other
body parts are possible due to flying splinters.
Always wear safety goggles during operation and suitable
protective clothing.
Observe the valid work protection regulations.
WARNING
Loud operating noises can cause damage to
hearing.
Wear suitable ear protection.
Observe the valid noise protection regulations.
Select the lowest possible operating pressure.
When fasteners are driven into workpieces that are too hard, or into
other fasteners, a powerful kickback is generated. This can cause
the tacker to slip off.
WARNING
Risk of injury when nails slide off or are driven in
too far or due to kickback.
Only use the tacker for wooden objects.
Ensure that the driving depth is not set deeper than the
thickness of the piece of wood.
When triggering, press the tacker firmly against the wood
