Preface
These instructions for use help to ensure
proper
safe
cost-effective
use of the following compressed-air powered plier staplers:
1A-AZ16BNH
1A-AZ25BNH
4C-WZ38BNH
4C-WZ38BNH400
In this Operation Manual, these plier staplers are referred to as
tackers for short.
We assume that all users of the tacker are familiar with handling
compressed-air power tools and the materials used. Persons who do
not have this knowledge must be instructed by an experienced user
in the use of the tacker.
These operating instructions are directed to the following persons:
Persons who use this tacker
Persons who clean this tacker
Persons who dispose of this tacker
Each of these persons must have read and understood the contents
of these instructions for use.
These instructions for use are part of the product. Always keep them
with the tacker. Pass along the instructions for use if you sell or
otherwise transfer the tacker to anyone else.

Avoid risk of fatal injuries
Make sure that no part of the body is between the discharge
opening and the die during actuation, and at any time the tacker is
connected to the air supply.
Actuate the tacker only when the tip of the tool is pressed against
the workpiece.
Do not allow children to play with packaging film, as there is a risk
of suffocation.
Make sure that the fastener is not driven into a power line.
Avoid explosion hazards
Do not use the tacker in explosion hazard areas.
Never operate the tacker with oxygen or other flammable gases or
gas mixtures.
Do not expose the compressor to temperatures above 100°C.
Avoid injury hazards
Keep the tacker out of the reach of children and other
unauthorized persons.
Disconnect the tacker from the air supply before transport.
Wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and sturdy work clothing
when operating the tacker.
Hold the tacker so that you cannot be injured by any possible
recoil.
Only use the tacker when you are able to stand securely.
Avoid damage to the tacker
Never open the tacker. Leave repair work to qualified technical
personnel.

Safety
10
Do not use the tacker if it has been dropped or damaged. Have it
checked by qualified technical personnel before resuming use.
Do not connect the tacker to an air supply that exceeds the
maximum operating pressure of 10 bar.
Install fixed tackers only in securely anchored mounting devices.
The tacker must not be able to rotate or shift. The mounting
device must not damage the tacker or its accessories.

Connect tacker to air supply
You can connect the tacker to a compressor or a compressed air
system.

Preparing the tacker
20
Operation with a compressor or a compressed air system is
permissible only under the following conditions
The operating pressure of the compressor or the compressed air
system must not be more than 10% greater than the maximum
operating pressure of the tacker. Information on the operating
pressure of tackers can be found on page 23 in this section.
For compressed air systems with higher pressure, a pressure
regulating valve (pressure reducer) with a pressure relief valve
connected downstream must be installed in the compressed air
line.
The compressed air must be filtered, dry, and oiled with
PREBENA special driver oil.
A compressed air preparation unit must be installed on the
coupling side at the outlets for the compressed air line to the
tacker. It must include
-a filter
-a water separator
-an oiler
If no oiler is installed, the length of the air line to the tacker must
not exceed 10 m. Otherwise, you must add three to five drops of
PREBENA special driver oil directly into the air inlet of the tacker
every day prior to starting operation.
The compressed air system must be able to maintain operating
pressure even when the desired amount of air is being used.
The inner diameter of the air line must be at least 9 mm.
The connector for the tacker must be equipped with a quick-
connect coupling with nominal diameter of 7.2 and at least 6.5
mm inner diameter.
