relieved by means of pressure relief valves.
You can adjust the nailing depth by regulating the air pressure or
with the adjusting wheel for the firing protection device.

The tool has the following features:
Operation either with compressed air cartridge or on a
compressed air system,
Firing protection device,
Single or bump firing,
Empty firing protection device,

Check condition
WARNING
Risk of injury when using a damaged tool or if
accessories are not correctly attached.
Check the condition of the tool before
every use.
Always ensure that the tool is in a safe
working condition.
Check in particular the following points:
- All parts of the tool and all accessories must be securely
attached.
- The safety devices must not be blocked or otherwise impaired
in their function.
- The spring of the firing protection device must not be
damaged.
- No parts of the tool or the accessories may show visible signs
of damage, such as scratches or dents.
- The air hose must be undamaged.

Scratches in the paintwork of the housing or magazine are not

Preparing the tool
18
Connect tool to compressed air supply
You can connect the tool to a compressed air system or to a
compressed air cartridge.
If you connect the tool to a compressed air system by means of an
adapter, you can carry out frequent brad driving operations efficiently
in the same place. In addition you can supply oil to the tool via the
compressed air system.
If you connect the tool to a compressed air cartridge, you are
independent of a stationary installation.
The admissible working pressure of the tool is 10 bar. If the
admissible working pressure is exceeded, the pointer of the pressure
gauge for the working pressure moves into the red range.
This can occur under the following conditions:
If both safety valves are defective,
If you have set the working pressure too high (see page 33), or
If you have connected the tool to a compressed air system with
excessively high pressure or to an unsuitable compressed air
cartridge.
WARNING
Risk of explosion if the maximum working
pressure is exceeded.
In this case immediately disconnect the
compressed air supply from the tool (see
page 40).

Preparing the tool
19
Attach compressed air cartridge
WARNING
Risk of injury from unsuitable compressed air
cartridges.
Use only original PREBENA compressed
air cartridges of Type KT-1000.
Operate the tool only when it is in a safe
working condition.
Important notes for the handling of compressed air cartridges
Use only original PREBENA KT-1000 compressed air cartridges
for the tools described here.
Use the KT-1000 compressed air cartridge only to supply
compressed air to the tools described in this manual.
Keep the valve of the compressed air cartridge and the
connection on the tool clean and protect from damage. Remove
any soiling before starting work. Severe soiling may only be
removed by the manufacturer.
Lubricate the thread of the valve on the compressed air cartridge
with universal grease before every use.
Do not used defective or damaged compressed air cartridges.
Have defective or damaged compressed air cartridges replaced
by your dealer.
The labelling on the compressed air cartridge must not be
removed or made illegible.
Transport and store the compressed air cartridges only in the
original packaging or in the transport case of the tool.
The compressed air cartridge must not be transported while
connected to the tool. Remove the compressed air cartridge from
the tool after every use.
